I will be helping at our organization's annual fundraising gala in a couple of weeks and realized that none of the dresses that I have are right for the gala. I have only two possibilities and one is entirely red and I recently wore it to a wedding (a bit more "party" like than for a formal gala). My other dress currently doesn't fit, so that one's out.
So, over the next couple of days I will be on the hunt for a reasonably priced gala-appropriate dress for under $50 (incl. taxes). This will unfortunately come out of my clothing and entertainment budget.
I love the dresses that Ricki's currently has in stores, but this will have to be one of those temptation avoiding goals for the month!
"Being debt free is better than spending feels." This blog will follow the ups and downs of living on a beer budget ($40,000/year) in Ottawa. I am a 20-something girl who came out of 2 degrees with $33,000 in student loans. Through dedication and hard work that was paid off in less than a year and I now own a home. I am not a financial planner or expert, but have developed an interest in my finances and how to make the most of my income. Questions? Email me at bigcitybeerbudget@gmail.com
Maybe you should check RW & CO, they have free clutch to go with the dress! :)
ReplyDeleteI found a dress!!! Purchased from The Bay; after taxes it came to just under $45. I will wear with black tights and heels I already own.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy with my purchase and I think this will be a perfect staple in my closet.

Oh WOW! That's a very cute dress! :) I love Vero Moda Stuff! Their stuff is not that expensive and when it goes on sale at The Bay, it's a great deal! :)
