I saw this dress on my friends blog.

So this dress is baaaaaaaaaaad with a capital B. The only problem is that it is $248--doesn't really fit in the beer budget category. I started thinking that it would be reeeeeeeeally nice to have a new dress to wear for my date with Mr J on Saturday. So I had three choices: 1) Put this dress on my charge card and go into debt; 2) Wear an old but fabulous outfit; 3) Find an equally fabulous but significantly cheaper dress. Guess what I did folks? You are right! I found an equally fabulous but affordable dress...on ebay!
I love the innernets. You can go shopping at 7am in the morning! Ebay has a lot of new with tags clothing that are significantly less than retail
When buying from e-bay things to make sure of:
1. Know the return policy. If the seller does not accept returns, proceed with caution.
2. Check the sellers review history. If other people have had trouble with this seller, you might too.
3.Buy things from designers and stores you are familiar with so you know what sizes and cuts fit you well.
4.Know your measurements and check with the sellers measurements. All size two's are not created equally.
5. Make sure to read the description for any noted defects
6. Ask. ask ask before you buy!
7. Ask before you buy!
8. Use on of the bid stealer programs. They will help you get almost all of your bids and avoid losing bids due to: forgetting to bid before the item closes and last minute item sniper people
So I have been wanting a long sleeve dress for the winter. I know that wrap around dresses look great on me. Look at the dress from Banana Republic I bought on e-bay this morning for $38-incl shipping (see picture below). It is classic and can be worn during the day or at night. It would be great with a pair of high heeled boots and some fabulous accessories! I am going to look hot!

Glad you found something you love Princess! You know there is always some HotNESS in the closet at 13700 that you could borrow in exchange for your first born. :)
@ creoledc. It sure doesn't! The point is that even if you can't get what you want you can still get something cute!
