Sometimes I just love shopping... don't ya just love it when everything goes to plan? First shop I went into last night was having a 'VIP night' which means 15% off everything :D so I got two dresses in there... second shop I found an ok dress that was a gorgeous green so I got that. THIRD SHOP wow! I just loved everything. Bought 1 dress and then brought the green dress back so I could afford another :D so now I have 4 dresses but only 1 wedding. 2 of them are fab... so I was thinking wear one to the ceremony (cos it's really pretty and innocent) and then get changed for the reception (cos it's not so innocent). Do people do that kinda crap? Oh and can ya wear red to a wedding? The innocent one is white with turquoise band and straps and a bit of a design thru it... is that acceptable? Cos I know ya can't wear white :o I'm so bad at this... haven't been to a wedding since I was a teenager and didn't give a fuck about dressing up.

Most of the time I'm really bad at shopping but when it all comes together it makes me feel really vain and smug. Oh and I saw a guy in a stickman tshirt on Grafton St too :)

    you wasted your 29,439th post on this!!!! ;)


    i only love shopping for music or food... other than that it bores me.. i walk into a shop and buy something to wear within 13 minutes... then i can go home again and do weird things.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    :D That's what I'm normally like too so that's why Im so proud of myself. Normally it takes me three days to shop when I need to find something in particular for something... 1st day I get bored and frustrated... 2nd day not too bad and third day I buy everything I see almost :D

    :D that was the first think my bf asked me... 'are they scandalously revealing?' :D but no, not scandalously so... 1 of them is quite Charlotte out of SATC and the other is more like... oh.... say Edie out of desperate housewives on her more modest days :eek:

    I loooove shopping too. I can never find anything when I'm looking for something specific - so I buy everything when I don't need it :D

    and as for changing for a wedding, I had to do that for my bro's wedding. Wore a corset type thingy for the day part, then changed out after dinner cos I couldn't breathe in the bloody thing anymore!

    Yey dresses :D

    I tried a dress on in Monsoon this weekend but ended up not buying it ...








    because I'd bought four dresses the week before when I went shopping for birthday cards :p
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
