Consumer whoredom

[frualeydis]

The world is conspiring to make my a real consumer whore: look at this dress from H&M!




It's not that they're expensive, they're not, but that I already have more clothes than I need and fabric suitable for summer dresses too. Yet the blue/white striped one is calling my name - I guess I'll wait and see how I feel when it stops being snow and winter outside.

I'm tempted too!

But for me it's this dress at Old Navy - http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=10018&pid=633412&scid=633412002

Guess I need to go try it on...

That's a lovely dress too.

Oh my. Those are too adorable for words.

Oh, I am in love with that green one! I may have to see if they have it in plus sizes.

I'm not sure if it's out in the shops yet, this is from the swedish mail order site.
It seems they only go up to size 46 = 104 cm bust and 88 cm waist. I have got 107 cm bust however, and their size 46 always fits me.

I'll have to convert that, but I rather doubt it. I wear an American size 18/20. That could be anywhere from 18 to XXL depending on the maker, alas. ah, according to an online converter... Nope. But at 104cm is still about 4 or 4.5 inches too small. Darn, that's a rather classic style.

That's really a sweet dress. I don't think I really can pull of sleeveless either, I just don't care.

They're lovely - but don't they look a lot like most of the stuff you already have? Not that that's bad. Just saying.

I don't have that many summer everyday dresses - the flowery one feels more like a party dress, the checked one is in wool and the one in a liberty print is in babycord so it's a bit warm for summer, but yes, of course I have too many dresses.

I don't believe in "too many" this and that, but I do believe in prioritizing spending in areas where you lack stuff. Like travel to Northern Parts. :) However, I also believe in stimulating the economy. Tis a quandary.

True, but a trip up north costs ten times as much as the dresses and also take working days.
