Shopfession: News Dress

I feel like this one is kinda sorta but I’m acquiring something new so I’m counting it. I ordered a sweater on sale from ModCloth that I thought would be great for work that was on sale, the last one, and in my size. In addition to suboptimal impulse control, it’s hard to pass up those circumstances. When I finally got it, it didn’t fit quite right. Since I’m trying to limit the number of things I’m adding to my collection of stuff, anything I keep has to be really special.

My options for returning it were to get back what I spent minus return shipping or have ModCloth pay for return shipping and reimburse me what I spent in store credit plus $5. Guess what I did? I had to wait until my item went back to the warehouse and was processed. That took a while but I got my credit today and it went to their Start Spreading The Pooch Dress.

Normally I'd never buy something this overpriced but my store credit will be completely killed off and it makes what's left on the tab reasonable. I ordered it a little small so it will wear like a long tank top rather than a dress. I did this with another Doctor Who dress and it works pretty well. I can wear it to work, on a Friday, maybe. 

I poked around the site but only one thing didn’t seem grossly overpriced. I just had a feeling if I got it I’d be doing this all over again in a month or two when I finally got it. Better to end the cycle before it begins.
