Oh my goodness, thank you for all the love!! I am so moved by all the responses!
The oxfords definitely stole the show at Nordstrom today. I don't think there was a single SA who didn't comment on them. It was fun! They are LAMB shoes that I found at the Rack a couple of months ago. They're a smaller size than I can usually fit into, but were so pretty I had to try them… and they fit perfectly!
Mo -- it has a full-length zipper down the back, so it opens completely. I accidentally unzipped it all the way and had trouble getting the zipper started again! The zipping felt snug, but not snug like something that's too small. It's strange! It was a very comfortable tightness.
karymk -- I was most surprised by the weight/heft of the dress, and the lack of loose threads and snags. A cheap version of a dress like that would have lots of loose threads, I imagine! It felt indestructable. I also tried on a couple of Theory pieces and left behind a cheaper Trouve jacket because it felt nothing like the Theory jacket.
Zapotee -- I started lifting weights! I really like the New Rules of Lifting programs (got halfway through Women and am now doing Abs), but my fave program is Drop Two Sizes by Rachel Cosgrove. It worked in a blink for me; I'm still stunned. But it wasn't so much weight loss as body transformation; I mean, I lost weight, but my body isn't just physically smaller than it was. I lost lumps, my behind has completely changed, and I finally have shoulders!
Diana -- I don't think they do, but I know I'll be watching like a hawk now, LOL. I've heard people sometimes find them at the Rack. Please let me know if you ever see one in a medium!
La Belle -- awesome idea, thanks!!
I also tried on this dress and loved it. But I was sticking to my list today, so I left it behind. Gorgeous, though! If I could wear it to church, I would've bought it. But it's a little too slinky!
