Online shopping. It makes the world a much easier place to live in. Or more complicated? You can buy your groceries online, you can pay for yoga classes online, and you can even buy puppies online (don’t do it!).
I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with Rose Gal, a new online boutique specializing in retro- and vintage-inspired clothes. Dress are often less than $20 and the selection is vast. If you’re looking for something quick, cheap, and trendy, this is your site.
I was so excited for this dress to arrive. I planned to wear it to my best friend’s bachelorette party. I wanted to take it for a test run to a wine tasting. Before I flew out the door to meet my friend, I was fortunate that my boyfriend told me he could perfectly see my two round butt cheeks hanging from the bottom of the inside lining. I was in a hurry and already dolled up! I like my legs, but my 5’2″ frame still was too long for this dress.
Genius struck. I found my all-black yoga shorts and threw them on. I turned my LBD into and LBR.
And I eventually wore it to that bachelorette party afterall…
