Daffa down dilly

So, this dress!  I'd been eyeing it for a long time (especially after seeing it on Kristina), and I finally took the leap and ordered it when Sourpuss Clothing was offering a 20% off coupon code.  Unfortunately, I didn't realize just how small the sizing on this dress runs!  For reference, I normally wear a medium or large in dresses (usually a medium if the fabric contains stretch, but a large if not), and since I read that this dress ran small, I ordered the large.  But when I received the dress, the size large fit like a very tight medium!  I could barely zip it up (even without a bra!) and it was so uncomfortable that I immediately regretted having removed the tags.  I decided to order the XL (which really bothered me, silly as it is, because I tend to blame myself instead of the sizing issue) -- luckily, it fits perfectly.

But now I have a problem: I still have the size L!  I can't send it back, since I removed the tags, and I tried to sell it on Instagram, but the person who was interested didn't pay her invoice.  I'll probably end up re-listing it or putting it up for a swap, but before I do, is there anyone who would be interested in buying it?  It's never been worn and is in perfect condition.  It definitely fits a true size medium (probably a size 6?).  If you're interested, send me an e-mail!

I ended up wearing this dress to go to the Clothesline Festival with my mom.  It's an annual festival with all sorts of artists that sell their work.  I saw a really cute print I liked, but I'm really trying to cut down on my spending, so I decided not to get it.  All in all, it was fun, but a little overwhelming.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day, so there were tons of people there.  At least I got to enjoy the sunshine in my sunshine-y dress!  :)

Also, I just want to thank all of you who commented on my last post.  It's scary to put yourself out there in such a vulnerable way, and all of your kind and thoughtful notes truly warmed my heart.  I'm very grateful to be a part of such a supportive community here in the blogosphere.  I know there are people out there who are decidedly not supportive (given how much internet snark there is out there, it's a fact that's impossible to ignore), but I'm incredibly thankful that the comments I get -- and the readers I have -- are so considerate, eloquent and generally wonderful.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
