Had to

I didn't want to buy this dress, Piperlime made me do it.

First their relentless emails telling me about the summer clearance arrived in my inbox.

Then the email about the extra percent off.

Then the "you left this item in your cart and it's sad and lonely and you need to buy it right now" email came.

Then the "You earned a Gap card reward!" email.

Then I caved.

  4. You definitely had to do it. Seriously, they were practically holding a gun to your head. And it's soooo beautiful that being forced into it is totally not that bad.

  7. Honestly speaking, this sounds a bit like harassment!
    It's a lovely dress - but I vote for Chloe ! I love seeing her.

  8. I think Piperlime may have been onto something - this dress is gorgeous on you! And its not a style/colour/print that just anyone could pull off... so it if it works for you, which it clearly does, all the more reason to add it to your wardrobe :)

  25. Well I am glad you purchased the Dress because it is truly stunning. Such Bold, Vibrant Colors & a pretty Artsy, Floral Print. It looks like a painting. Plus I am sure you got a great deal on it. I have never heard of Collective Concepts but will check it out, now.

    And I love the first pic with the doggie, too.

    Have a great weekend, Lyddie!
