~ Henry David Thoreau
I have a family wedding to attend on Saturday, and because I hate shopping so much, I've put off looking for something to wear. I finally admitted that my usual outfit of jeans, shirt, and a Hitchhiker scarf just won't suffice, and my black funeral suit looks too dour for a spring wedding. My sister-in-law found her dress on Amazon, so I figured if it was good enough for the mother of the groom, it was good enough for me.
I ordered three dresses, two with short sleeves and one long-sleeved, and opened them carefully so I could return them if necessary. I haven't yet tried them on, but while I was laying them out for consideration, I noticed something that made me see this whole getting dressed up thing in a slightly more positive light.
They all came with bonus stitch markers!
Now I wonder if I can also find shoes that come with bonus knitting notions? :-)
HA! I've noticed that more clothing brands are using those 'stitch markers' to attach tags. Pretty dresses.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I purchase things that have those tag holders, I consider the price to be even better than I did in the first place!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Omgosh... how absolutely brilliant! And, I love all the colors - you will look beautiful in whatever you choose!
ReplyDeleteI love those!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite stitch markers, too! What a bonus! I hope all three dresses make you feel pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bonus!!! Pretty fabric for the dresses.
ReplyDeleteI have a collection of those very same stitch markers!!!! My favorites!
ReplyDelete:-)
I never thought of saving those for stitch markers and lots of Stitch Fix items come with them! Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteLike Carole, I never thought to save those for stitch markers. But I do love finding uses for things that come into my life like that. It appears that 2 of those dresses would look dynamite with your newest Hitchhiker. That would make a lovely wedding outfit, especially with a lovely pin or brooch. I hope you have lots of fun at this wedding. Also, I would rather be beat with a rolling pin than go shopping!
ReplyDeleteYou are brilliant! Which dress did you choose? :-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like one of those dresses is meant to be. Let us know if you find shoes that come with a knitting notion.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving those stitch markers ;) and the dresses! I could order all my stuff off the internet if I could. I ordered all my exercise wear from Gap and loved each one.
ReplyDeleteThose are my favorite kind of markers - but I've always had to buy them separately :-) I hope you found a dress that worked - the blues are beautiful (and your latest hitchhiker might even be the perfect accessory?!) and I LOVE the floral in the middle.
