Late last winter, I ran across the most beautiful sweater dress on clearance at Banana Republic. It was charcoal gray and fit me so well. I bought it, but never took the tags off. It looked great with tights and boots, with a belt and a cardigan; but I never found the opportunity to wear it. It felt too dressy for an everyday dress and, though it was on clearance, it was still pretty expensive. I just couldn’t justify keeping it for an occasion dress. So I took it back. Of course, this was all pre-YLF. As I’ve learned, it would have been a great winter day dress-it wasn’t the least bit dressy. And, for a sweater dress, I probably wouldn’t have found anything much less expensive. How I wish I’d kept that dress!! I’m on the hunt for something similar to wear this winter, but that dress (and my misjudgment about it) is constantly on my mind as I look around.
That’s my fashion sob story. What’s yours? Is there a clothing item you’ve passed up but later regretted?
