Shopping for a Christmas Dress

>> Tuesday, December 8, 2009

I did some Christmas shopping last weekend together with hubby. We started with some gifts for friends and relatives in Romblon. To avoid a holiday spending hangover and to prevent paying so much for the shipping, I thought of giving just cash to those little cousins that we missed.

We headed to the women's wear after buying some stuff from the toy and children's clothes section. I bought a navy blue blouse for my aunt with a slashed price of P350. Hubby spotted that red Alexane dress (that I'm wearing in the picture) for P1,399.75.





At first, I was hesitant in trying the red dress because of its color. We looked around for more choices, then found that white Vivant dress with thin black stripes for P1,299.75 right away. And, while on the way to the mall's dressing room, I saw this maroon Vice Versa dress with belt for P1,099.75.

As you can see, the red dress was a perfect fit. All dresses were in S or SMALL size, but the white one didn't even make it through my hips! Obviously, no picture was taken while fitting that piece. The maroon dress also gave me a funny look with or without the belt. Still no need to take a photo of that.

Which of those dresses did you buy sis? Was it the red one? I like your taste. Nahihiya kasi ako i-expose legs ko dito eh. Sayang, gusto ko rin yung mga dress na ganyan. Bagay sa office. Haven't bought anything for myself this Christmas except for my cellphone. I don't mind it though. :)
