A List of Small Wonders pt. 6

Reader–I desperately need your opinion. Should I spend $200 on a dress for a wedding to which I’m not sure if I’m invited? I’ve got my eye on one. The dress drapes weightily in a wintery, emerald velvet, reaching the middle of the model’s calves. The light glints off of the fabric gorgeously like an oil slick. I am salivating.

Golden buttons travel down to the waist, which is accentuated by a seam and a V-shaped neckline with tiny golden trim. And just above the breasts? The appliquéd faces of two rabbits, facing towards each other as if in greeting. Three flowers adorn both of their necks festively. It comes with a long sash that culminates in golden tassels. It sounds crazy in writing, but it’s perfect. My sister called it a “Fairy Poet Princess Witch” dress. I see myself at the wedding, spinning in circles to typical wedding songs like “September” by Earth Wind and Fire. Do you think I’ll need a nice dress for another event? Should I buy it just in case? The anticipation of pressing “Add To Cart” makes me tingle.
