gift from lane bryant, just for me

Isn't she lovely?!
And get this: the dress even has pockets!!!
It does seem tailor-made for me, does it not?
I could scarce believe it when I saw it listed.
That was on May 31, the last day to use the twenty bucks of birthday money that the store gave me.
I had dutifully gone through the online catalogue, looking to see what new dresses I might be able to add to my closet this time.
This is the only one to strike my fancy.
Described as "Short-Sleeve Babydoll Fit & Flare Dress", it really did sound like they had me in mind, right?
The color, "Blue Geo Print", gave it the allure of the Milky Way galaxy as well as the swirling expanses of the sea and the night sky - wow!
The only issue was the size
It was listed as a good bit smaller than my usual.
Well, hell's belles, I would try it on when it arrived!
Should it not fit, I'd just ship it back, easy peasy.
After all, the price was so good, it was almost like stealing it!
Originally marked as $57.99, the site had it on sale for $29.99...
and me with a $20 'personal sale' discount!
Shipping would have nullified almost all of my discount, so I had it sent to the store in Pooler, at the Tanger Outlet.
That was free, save for my time driving out there and back.
Maybe there would be a movie to tempt me when it came in?
Always that as a possibility!
As fortune would have it, there was not a movie, but I drove out on a Sunday afternoon last month to pick it up once it arrived.
That was the 13th of June.
So, what has brought it to mind?
Well, yesterday I wrote about the physicist and the bounty from him, right?
That's when I realized I had missed bragging on this deal.
(smile!)
The dress fits perfectly, too.
