I had been in love with a Karen Millen dress for ages and really wanted to buy it, but it was £199 and I just couldn't bring myself to spend that amount on a frock, especially one I won't be able to fit into for ages!
But I saw a lady selling them on eBay (at a much better price!), and she said that she could order one in for me in about 10 days. Yay! So I asked her to order it and I waited. I didn't hear anything in three weeks so I contacted her through eBay again to ask if she was still going to be able to get it in. She hasn't responded and that was over a week ago! And I know she's been on eBay as she has been listing within that time. Grrrr! As if it would be so hard to say "sorry, I haven't been able to get it" or something
Anyway, so yesterday on a whim I decided to look at the Karen Millen website to see if they still had the dress in stock in the colour I wanted. They did, but only in a size 14. That's bigger than I had initially wanted, but I have been told that Karen Millen sizes are a little on the skimpy side and that it will definitely feel more like a 12 or even a 10.
And the best thing was, the dress was reduced from £199 to £99! I knew they couldn't have many left so I'm afraid I was weak and the poor long-suffering credit card came out!
But I'm glad I ordered it as I've looked on the site this morning and they don't have any left! Maybe I got the last one
Anyway, this is what's getting me through my current spate of non weight loss :cry: what do you think? I'm hoping it will fit in time for the work christmas party, whenever that may be!
