I accidentally wore my sister's shoes today. It was accidental because I thought they were my pair of black high heel boots, but instead what I wore were her identical ones to mine.
I only figured it out after I'd left the house and found that I almost broke my ankle and that my feet were dying from swishing around in the too big pair. You see, though they look identical, her's are one size bigger, and come in the wider variety. Later she tells me that they are even too big for her, but that they fit okay at the store when she bought them.
Now the whole point behind my story is that it drives me nuts when I find that something doesn't fit right. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's when you buy something that fit alright in the fitting room, but when you actually wear it somewhere it's either too tight, too loose, bunches up or rips a seam and on and on...
I'm sure I wouldn't have this problem if I were wearing very expensive couture all the time. Take this lovely paisley Gucci scarf dress for example, it seems to just flow off the model's body. It's the perfect fit and clings just in the right spots, perfect for those awful days when I feel like I ate a mountain of Oreos and am doubting the state of my six pack.
What I love about the dress is that it can be worn as resort wear, or it can also be worn as a gown at a black tie/red carpet event. Basically, it's the perfect dress. Now it would be even more perfect if I could actually afford the dress, but that's a whole other story...
