With my shopping endeavor to find something to wear to my office party, I had quite a dilemma on my hands. Just a quick background for you, I am one of the hottest girls at the hotel I work at. If this was high school, I'd be voted best dressed. People I work with are always complementing my fashion sense & they told me that they were waiting to see what I'd wear to this party. There are some trolls that I work with as well & they have perfected the art of hating, so you know I had to outdo them. I was left with the challenge of finding something that was unique & equally stunning.
I found a couple of dresses, especially from Jessica McClintock's collection (which costs my firstborn child) & was dismayed by a couple of sorry excuses for frocks- ones I wouldn't wear if someone simply handed them to me free of charge. At the first attempt, I found this great dress (the one I ended up purchasing) purple, satin fabric, with a one shouldered style (spaghetti strap on the opposite shoulder) and the one shoulder had a pleating detail both there and on the skirt. I'll upload more pictures as I get to a computer of me in the Jessica McClintock dresses, (yes I photograph everything, circa Cher in Clueless) especially the one that stole my heart as I looked at it on display. I am thoroughly convinced- Macy's planned to take my soul & their approach was flawless. The hunt was only extended to Macy's since I needed to use my Macy's card to purchase. This dress deserves an adequate description since at $189 USD, it was absolutely stunning. A one shouldered, metallic a-line cocktail dress with somewhat of a floral garland on said one shoulder. Everything in me "buy it" but my wallet screamed "don't kill me". When I came back down to reality, I realized that the purple dress was not only elegant but semi- affordable at $80 USD & this was what I debuted.
