Why does it always seem like you can never find anything to wear when there’s an important event or a special occasion?  It’s as if your closet purposely conspires against you, and all of your favorite stores suddenly seem to have a dearth of acceptable inventory.

At least that’s how I used to feel.  These days, I have a little  rule for myself: whenever I spot a great party dress I just go ahead and get it… even if I don’t have anyplace to wear it anytime soon.  So far, it’s worked well for me, and I no longer have to scramble around at the last minute whenever I have to go someplace “fancy”.  I spotted this dress at Banana Republic (on the clearance rack for just $25!), and I immediately snatched it up.  My favorite features are the jeweled belt and the tiny pleats around the neckline.

I can’t wait to take it out for a spin.  Cocktails anyone?

    Ohh pretty dress! And what an awesome sale! I didn’t see any prices that good when I was at Banana Republic last week– lucky girl!

    What a glorious dress!  I always get stumped when I have to go somewhere fancy too.  But that’s largely due to the fact that I never go anywhere fancy.  LOL

    Gorgeous dress! Can’t believe you snagged it for $25. Also love the shoes!

    Over the years I’ve gathered a great selection of cocktail attire – definitely makes RSVPing less stressful. 🙂

    That’s actually a great idea – and something usually you’re told not to do! Haha, I always had the same problem, especially for “how dressy” to be for a party. Then I just learned that it’s pretty hard to be TOO dressy – so now I just look super cute, if a little over the top, all the time! I’ll keep this post in mind next time I pass a pretty dress on the clearance rack!
