!!! Think Twice Before Returning!!!

I bought a cute shirt about a month ago. Ruffled tiers of different fabric, but made out of t-shirt knit. The kind you could wear with jeans or dress it up. I wasn't sure whether to keep it or return it, and decided on the latter. It was in my car, and Rachele happened to be home and we were going to that store. When I showed her what was in the bag, she advised me not to return it, telling me how cute she thought it was. I guess you all know by now that nine times out of ten, I listen to Rachele (classic who's the mother and who's the daughter role reversal). Needless to say, I kept it.

About a week later, our neighbors were having a little Saturday night get-together. I thought the shirt would look cute with cropped white jeans that I salvaged from Kristin's throw-out pile (never worn) that happened to fit me really well. Finishing off the outfit were flat sparkle sandals (another Rachele-advised purchase). I really liked the way all the pieces came together and felt stylish and very comfortable.

I brought the outfit on our beach vacation thinking I might like to wear it again. Well, to make a long story short, I wore it to the parents/sisters dinner, and again to the dinner with our friends. It doesn't end here. I also wore it that Saturday night to Christine's party. Did I really wear the exact same thing three times in one week, and the same thing one week prior? Yessiree, I sure did. And I loved it all four times! It did not disappoint, in fact I would wear it again tomorrow if an event presented itself.

Moral of the story of course ladies is - think twice before you return something you originally liked enough to purchase. Oh, and yes, Rachele, you were right again!
