I ran some errands during lunch today which somehow landed me at Old Navy. (I hate that I'm such a shopper). Old Navy had all of their dresses on sale for $15, too good of a deal to resist. Ten minutes later I found myself in the dressing room trying on a maxi dress. My debate on whether I should buy the dress went something like this:

And that is how I ended up buying the maxi dress. Fast forward a few hours later and I am feeling buyer's remorse. Seriously I don't think I should be buying items solely based on how lazy they will allow me to be. Otherwise why bother prettying myself up at all? It would be so much easier to just wear juicy couture elastic waist pants all the time.

So dress is going back. However I'm now wondering if I should buy the chiffon flutter sleeve dress in navy or linen-blend ruffle dress in berry instead. The flutter dress had a vintage quality about it. I showed restraint with this one since I do have a gazillion dresses already like it and I started to wonder if it was a bit matronly. The linen dress was flattering on but again, I was wondering if it was verging on the matronly. Many years of having strict conservative parents has sometimes left me with the fashion sense of an old marm. What do you think? Which dress do you think I should've gone with? Should I keep the lazy day maxi dress? Or none of the above, I should instead head straight to Anthropologie.
