Summer is getting to me, and I'm searching for reasonably-priced dresses. I know I've got a number of people on my flist who are close to my size or who have friends who are close to my size - do any of you have recommendations for online shopping or stores (other than Fashion Bug) which might be a good place to check out? My idea of reasonably priced, admittedly, may be unrealistic, but I'm simply not willing to pay $40-50 for a simple dress. I'm hoping to find dresses closer to $25. This is not a plea for gifts of clothing (*looks pointedly at a certain person in MA), just for suggestions of affordable places to shop.

Jun. 28th, 2008 05:19 pmIt has been a very long week, made a lot more bearable by a visit from C, my sister-in-law. She was bringing her younger son to MD and decided of would be useful to come further south and take care of me a bit. C is one of very few people I am always glad to have over, who I am completely comfortable with and who I don't feel the need to put on a show for.
Hmmm, head is worse than I thought (bending to put books away caused major dizziness and spike in pain), so this will be shorter than planned.
Carol helped me do the one thing I've been dreading most- going back to the townhouse. It was hard, but not as hard as if I had gone alone and not quite as hard as I expected. I got slightly distracted by the differences in the house. The kitchen had particular problems as the upper cabinets were so high that I could barely reach the door handles. C has the gumption to tell the contractor to fix the issue, which I was not able to do. I am a little unhappy with a number of things but cannot say much as I opted to not deal with the house as much as possible.
We also pulled together paperwork for the mortgage company and attorney and got some thank you notes written, which was incredibly hard. Re-reading the cards and being unable to escape the reason for the cards and gifts was very hard and I finally fell apart a little.
Earlier in the week I did interview for the FT position at the City, and thursday I did get the job. Will have to post later about the job; my brain wants to stop now.
