Fashion! Turn to the right...

I want to buy a dress. I want to be all flirty and girly and wear cute dresses. I also have a baptism/birthday party in two weeks, and I need to find something cute. The problem is that I'm not a small girl, and so my shopping opportunities are a bit limited. My old standby, Lane Giant (™xica_s), has unfortunately taken a turn for the worse, and lately their clothes are quite hideous and bland. This has led me to do some window shopping online.



Right now this dress is my top choice. I love the colors, and they have it in my size. That said, I don't shop at Torrid often at all, so I don't know how their clothes may fit me. Luckily, it seems that the mall by my mom's house has just opened a store, so hopefully I can try some stuff on this weekend and see how their clothes work on me. But I really like this dress. It's just so summery!


I am also a big fan of this dress. It has cherries on it! Not quite summery, though. Still, super-cute!


And then there's this dress. I am IN LOVE with this dress. Unfortunately, it's $106. Ouch. Whenever I look at the price, in my head I hear my mother saying "I could make that dress for $20! I have a pattern just like that somewhere..." But this dress is just too adorable for words.


OMG, this dress kills me dead. But it's nearly $200. But isn't it just gorgeous??? It's obviously too fancy for just a summer dress, but it's SO AWESOME I want to die.

Then I found a store on eBay that has gorgeous little summer dresses as well. Check these out:











Add a light cardigan, and I could totally wear these to work, too. All of these dresses are between $25 adn $28, plus shipping. I'd snatch these up in an instant, except that the seller only takes PayPal, and I've never managed to get my PayPal account working properly. Yes, really. I'm so inept when it comes to all things PayPal. But aren't they cute?

ETA: I just bought the one in the last photo. Yay!

Have you been to Forth & Towne? I know they have a store in Chicago -- it's the new store in the Gap/Banana/Old Navy empire, and the clothes are probably at the Banana price point and style, but they have a larger range of sizes (up to 20 in the store). They have some really really cute dresses right now, so you should check them out (but quickly, because the stores are all closing by the end of June).
