Nothing too spectacular here.  There was this really gorgeous herve leger-esque dress that I wanted (with a mermaid train), but it was too darn small!  It was half the size it was marked, which was a letdown.

I love Tadashi, but I didn't think I could wear this dress anywhere.  When I tried it on though, it was so flattering!  Really accents your curves.  

Plus, I love the colour, so I ended up buying it.  I do wish it were cheaper though, since it does have a lot of dirty areas.  I think it'll be an easy wash, otherwise I probably would have left it.

I've heard a lot about Theory, but it didn't seem that impressive to me.  This is the first reasonably priced one (that looked new) I've seen in my size, so I decided to pick it up.

I'm not sure how much the Moschino jeans line cost, I can't figure that out anywhere.  But I did see unlined jean jackets on their website for $200, so I think this one had to have retailed for nearer to a thousand...the quality is so nice!

Which is why I had to pick it up, even though it doesn't currently fit me.  I'll wait it out a bit and see if I lose the weight, otherwise I have a friend who could use it.

I find so much Moschino, but a lot of it is very loud.  I was surprised to find something so basic as this...it looks pretty modern too.  The tailoring is great, it just looks so normal for them.

The Tadashi dress is a bit too big, but I think it still looks ok.  I just can't pass up Tadashi, his designs are really figure flattering.

The last two...I thought that silk dress looked neat.  Like it was made from a scarf!  It was new with tags, so I thought it was worth it, even though it's a chinese brand.  The quality is fine, but not amazing.  

The last dress I just bought because it was super cheap.  Well, I really liked the print, but I wouldn't buy Suzy Shier stuff otherwise.

The second one was somewhat nearby, I just had to go!  These dresses were so gorgeous, I couldn't leave them behind....I wish it was half off day!

I really loved the mint one, which is why I was willing to pay that much.  It did have tags on, but it seemed strange...the interior tags look vintage!  I wouldn't have questioned it, but it does have tags from Winners on it....at first I thought maybe someone just put them on there, but the size does match up.

I was unsure about the silk dress, but I thought I'd get it just in case.  I really do love a lot of the design elements, especially the rose straps!

The last one was a must have.  It's so sexy and well made!
