I was shopping at Trader Joes and a young twenty something store employee stopped me, "Mam", she said, (Mam?? is she really talking to me? mam??) "where did you get your cardigan?" (now that's more like it) "LOFT" I answer. And she stares blankly--"you know, Ann Taylor's LOFT?" Still blank. So I instruct her where to find a store, and move along. So I have found my niche-my choice of caridigan color-still cool, my choice of store to purchase it at--only cool to those of us "Mams".

Red Dress
About a year ago I saw a gorgeous red dress in Anthropologie. Of course I wanted it, but I couldn't afford it. And I've ALWAYS wanted a red dress. Now I check mod cloth and I see this one. I want it. $90.00. I have no problem spending that amount of money on a dress, because the dresses I have in my closet I have had for years. And this one is bright, hip and long enough. But Hy's in school and it's not in the budget. Seriously . . . I'm trying to figure out how to swing it. And then I'm also telling myself that it would show up and not fit right and I'd be disappointed--that's how I try to make myself feel better.

One Shoot! Book ONE MORE SHOOT this year that you weren't planning on! Go for it...it's not often you find something you fall in love with!
Just what I was going to say...you could always auction off one last session to the highest bidder as a "I want a new dress for Christmas" fundraiser. :)
I bet LOTS of people would bid. :) :)
Indeed.
Also, from my personal experience: every time I want something really badly for a really long time, I always pass up on expensive opportunities to get it and end up happening upon whatever I want or need in a thrift store or a bag of hand-me-downs. Case in point: Doc Martens-- I JUST found a pair that I've been wanting forever (but that were too expensive). They were $5 in the little boys' section of the DI.
Get it! Get it! It's adorable, and you deserve it. Figure out a way - and make it happen (I know you can).
So cute and so you! you should totally do another session JUST for the dress! :) Go for it!!!! And, I bet it would fit PERFECT
