I have this dress. It's short, sparkly, and snug, the perfect combination for a gold dress. It taunts me because I have no where to wear it. I'm not even sure if it still fits me like it did when I bought it. As much as I try to cull down my closet to clothes I'm actually wearing, this dress won't be leaving my closet any time soon. I don't care that finding an occasion is like finding Waldo, it's difficult and may not always happen. (On a completely separate note, did you know that Where's Waldo has a website where you can play the game? And a mobile app! Kids these days, they're way too high tech for me.) If I lived in Free People world, aka in a magazine/catalog or New York, you might see me throw a patterned chunky cardigan (similar to this one), black tights, maybe some socks stick out the top of my folded over cowboy boots (similar to these guys) for work. For me to pull all of it off, I'm pretty sure I'd have to be model skinny and as tall (as models normally are). So while I have this awesome picture in my head of what the whole thing would look like, I'm not going to be wearing this to work any time soon. I'll just keep being taunted by this dress until I can find the perfect occasion.
