THERE IT WAS!!!!!!

The company my husband works for has an Annual Christmas Party, and most years it is a dilemma what to wear, but this year it is the company's 50th Anniversary, so I wanted something long, formal, and a shade of burgundy!!Well I hit the mall several times, I tried Macy's, Dillards and Nordstroms. Nothing caught my eye, until today, I parked outside of Macy's, I was merely walking through to meet up with someone. AND there IT was!! It was not in my size, so I asked the sales lady if they had any more, she said NO, no long dresses this year except online, that is an online return!!!I tried it on and said, I can make this work, I will have it altered a little. It is after all just 1 size bigger then I normally wear. And to think I would have NEVER seen this if I had parked anywhere else!!

It looks just stunning Jamie!
I love that color! And I suppose we will get a better look when you wear it. How fun to wear a formal! I haven't since my Son's wedding.
Hugs and Happy Weekend too,
Cindy

Pretty! Can't wait to see a pic of you in the dress! I think it would be nice to go to something formal.....of course here in Florida that would mean jeans with heels and a blazer! We just hardly do formal! Too bad!

So happy you found what you wanted. Someone once asked me if I believed in accidents. Well, this makes you wonder. Take care sweet friend, Char
