Epic Online Shopping Fail!

This weekend was crazy! Some of our best friends got married in Tulsa and it was an absolute blast! (post to come)

I had THE hardest time finding something to wear... I ordered 4 dresses online, that's right 4! And 3 of them went back and as it turns out one was back-ordered for 23 days when I ordered it... way to read the fine print Christine!

Here's the breakdown b/c I know you all care SO much.
I ordered this one first b/c it looked so cute online and the price wasn't bad.

It got here and I knew before I even tried it on that it wasn't going to work... The fit was all sorts of crazy. :(
Then I found the dress I loved and ordered right away, thanks to the Bloomingdales F&F discount it was too cheap to say no.

Be sure and read the fine print if you need this dress by a certain time. ;)

So, back to the drawing board I went... I found this dress at Free People and ordered... it showed up and was so unflattering I couldn't believe it.

And my last hope was this black ditty that I had seen in Norman and when I went back it was gone :(

Thanks to my terrible memory I ordered the wrong size and it showed up way too big. :(
Oh and it was my last hope because it arrived 2 days before I needed to wear it.
Epic Online Shopping Fail.

Luckily I had a couple hours on Friday before we had to leave to find something... 
Bcbg at Dillards to the rescue!
I tried on this one first and LOVED it! I felt very Blair Waldorf-esque wearing it, which is always a good feeling!

 Too bad I forgot to look at the price before I tried it on... $398 is a little steep.

Then I tried on a couple other duds before I found THE one! (Why am I acting like this is my wedding? I'm just in the house party?? B/c I am insane people, you should know that by now!)
Finally, after months of searching, I got the cutest dress for our bff's wedding!

I always take dressing room pics...must be from seeing Clueless one too many times. They come in handy when I need a second opinion and I'm shopping alone.

btw - all the dresses I ordered were free shipping and free returns so don't worry I didn't waste $$$ just lots of my time and effort!

I know I'm insane... please feel free to make fun of me in the comments.

Looks like we're gonna have to make a cameo at the Val party!

I love how this dress is called the "Valley Party Dress", totally reminds me of one the classic teen movie, Clueless! It looks just like the dress Cher rocked at the Valley Party!

But this is an Alaia! A whata? It's like a totally important designer!

The Look For Less!

One of my daily blog reads is The Look For Less. Jen has great finds for designer looks for less and she also does great styling jobs! Check out her blog here. I've been loving the Parker Cami dresses since last summer and I was perusing her blog not too long ago and saw this option:

I immediately purchased the Nordstrom version and can't wait to wear it to a wedding in a couple of weeks!
Click here to purchase the one I got. It comes in several other colors as well.

Yesterday I was browsing LuLu's after Jen posted about these great sandals, when I saw another great alternative to the Parker dress. I sent it over to Jen and she used it on her blog today! I was so excited! Click here to see the post I sent over for her.

I'm really starting to love the blogging community and look forward to more interactions with other bloggers out there!

So, if you're a fellow blogger let me know so I can visit your blog and start commenting! :)
