its wedding season in my country, wich means is also dress hunting season.

The objective is to find a cheap, expensive looking dress, that is not too "mass produced" (i dont want to ask myself the question, Who wore it better?) as you might have discovered yourselves, this kind of dress is super rare to find, its the wearable equivalent of the  seven-colored flower (and no, you wont find that in your grandparents house, unless grandma's vintage dress dream comes true for you, wich is also very rare, unicorn rare)

So I went the biggest mall my city has to offer,  only to find Pai Mei was...inconsolable...  no wait, thats an unfitting quote, ill rephrase; only to find the perfect dress will never be cheap, and that with great walks, come great blisters.

Back home, feeling defeated and lost, I decided to pay a visit to that place of the closet that I visit even less than sunday church, the retro dresses corner. You know it, that corner that has the dresses you wore 12 or more years ago, 90's dresses. (well for those of you who are old enough) you didnt donated or simply burn. dresses you never would ever be worn again by humans.

Guess what Ill be wearing to the wedding I have two weeks from now?
A little black dress I wore when I was 15 ( for a sweet 16, that we call 15's here) from the 90's corner. So yeah, this proves to me that the little black dress is highly versatile and never goes out of fashion, and even if we forget it, itll always come back to us (it can be little boring though, accesories will need to rise to the ocasion)
And the fact that I can wear a dress I used 12 years, and it fits nicely, makes me kinda proud.

I will not give up the hunt just yet (mainly cause there are too much weddings coming). Hope is the last thing ill lose!

Sorry again for the ramble, i feel ramble-y lately.

maybe this will feel/ come as unthoughtful/ unconsidered towards people in stress/trouble/bigger problems right now, but maybe reading something stupid will keep your minds from awefull thoughts just for a bit, and remember we all go through trouble at times, is the way you afront them, the way you shall remember them, and how much youll learn and get from the situation. I say deal with it, with the best attitude possible, being depressed will be of no help at all and will make the problem seem worst than it is (i know its hard)
I can be wrong and reading how other person's problem right now is not finding a good dress might make you angry, but hey! ive been in catastrphic (maybe  not comparable to yours, but still )situations too and now my problem now IS that i cant find a dress,   so i tell you, this too shall pass, and maybe your problems in the future will be as meaningless as mine!  i hope you all have meaningless and banal problems in the future (or present)

te has dado una vuelta por patronato o por las tiendas vintage u orange blue?? siempre se encuentra una que otra cosilla por alli. el último recurso es llamar a amigas y preguntar si tienen un vestidillo por alli jijiji

Qué curioso leer esto ahora. Justamente ayer tuve el que creo que ha sido el peor día que he tenido en todo el año, hasta amanecí con los ojos hinchados de todo lo que lloré anoche. Pero curiosamente, sí, leer acerca de tu dress hunt me distrajo, y es aún más curioso que hayas colocado esa nota al final. Igual, como le dije a una amiga una vez... Tal y como no es bueno que la gente se sienta culpable por sentirse deprimida y quejarse, tampoco debe uno sentirse avergonzado porque le pasen cosas buenas cuando otros tienen problemas, such is life. En fin.

Espero que tu dress hunt tenga un buen resultado, y que la pases muy bien en las bodas.

ahhh busqueda interminable de vestidos, te maldigo :crying:
eso me paso el año pasado, para los 15's :D use los mismos 3 vestidos
y si, cosas como estas son las que distraen la mente de tragedias. Aqui en dA encontre bastantes cuando se entraron a mi casa y nos robaron, me ayudo bastante

At first I thought you were saying I wouldn't find a seven-colored flower at my grandma's house and I was all like YOU DON'T KNOW MY GRANDMA- but yeah what you actually said make more sense. I haven't had to do any nice dress shopping yet- all my friends who are married live in different states than I do!
