I was lucky enough to make it to Chicago this past Thanksgiving to celebrate the holiday with my sister. While I was there, we went shopping after going to the treelighting ceremony for the annual German Kristkindl Market. We walked by Anthropolgie, and I happened to see this beautiful dress in the store window, and I felt compelled to try it on. You can get it here. I don't often shop at Anthropologie; it's just way too expensive for me. However, there was just something about this dress that I had to have. It has a wonderful holiday feel to it, it's got some sparkle to it, and it's a color other than black! I tried it on before looking at the price tag, but when I did, I was shocked. It retailed at $229! There was no way I could afford it! Sadly, I put it back on the rack. I immediately googled Anthropologie's Black Friday sale policy, hoping that by some miracle this dress would be placed on super sale so I could buy it. Sadly, I found out that Anthropologie's BF sale isn't that great, but I learned that all their expensive dresses usually go on sale sooner rather than later, and almost always just before Monday mornings. I decided I would wait for it to go on sale before picking it up. Lo and behold, it eventually did go on sale, and I was able to snag one! It was a little pricier than I am usually willing to pay for clothes right now, but since it was just after the holidays, and I had some Christmas money leftover, I went for it because I knew I would not be happy without it. You'll see me wearing this dress around NYC next winter during the holidays! I find that a simple pair of black pumps works best with this dress. These are the ones I wear with my dress. For some reason I prefer a patent leather over suede with them, but both would probably work equally well!
