Ebay in reverse: My perfect new, not-old dress
Though there are far more important things to think about and put my energy into, I've been pathetically fixated on a small retail calamity that occurred last week. I lost a dress that I really, really wanted on eBay. It was a black, gorgeously tailored, cowlneck sweater dress that looked seriously expensive but was actually super-cheap (it eventually sold for $26; I'd bid up to $25. D'oh!). I had, as usual, pinned all sorts of style hopes on this piece: My new dress and I were going to attend parties and special lunches and an array of cold-weather events all through the season. When I lost it on Thursday, I was actually bummed for the rest of the afternoon, like a kid who lost her favorite toy. Anyway, I went to H&M on Saturday and there it was, almost the exact same shape in black, except lighter-weight, almost crochet, and not (I imagine) as itchy--and for $30. Though you can't purchase this item online, trust me, it's there. You can also choose gray or light purple.
