habibi: spice girls

There is a war going on. Yea, you heard that right. It's been two enemies that have despised each other for ages. The clothes I ~~want~~ need and how much they cost. Why did I go to the BCBG section in Dillards yesterday? Why do I always want the most expensive items?

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Let me explain.

The hubs and I were on our way out of the mall yesterday when I decided to make a *quick* detour to the BCBG section (yea our malls stink, its only a section and not a real store. Oh, and they don't carry Marc Jacobs so I wasn't able to ~~drool over~~ check out the purses I'm lusting over). I love the color burnt orange. It's purty. And I'm tan (more yellowish now that it's winter) so I thought it would be a good combination. Grabbed that dress and two others.

Playing dress up will be fun!

I really liked this dress. I don't think the picture does it justice. It's fun and vibrant and my husband loved it. But at $248 I knew I'd have to put it back on the rack. Oh well..onto the next dress.

One Shoulder Satin Bow Dress by BCBG

Here is where the dilemma sets in. I tried this dress on and suddenly I felt very Victoria Beckham-ish. (I hear you laughing..) And for those of you who don't know. I have been a fan of Victoria's since elementary school. I was always assigned to be Posh Spice. I cried when they broke up and I bought their C.D. when Victoria's Secret sold it a few years ago. I want to be her. (I probably shouldn't have admitted all of that...)

Anyways, this dress was love. The picture honestly does not do it justice. Not at all. I didn't want to take it off. It was love. The kind where you take it home and try it on everyday just because you feel so great & different in it. The kind where you envision pink little hearts and little birdies fluttering around.

Aaaah, love.

...but it costs $298.

Can you feel the sadness in my heart?

Because I am heart broken (and dramatic).
