yet another reason why i need to take up sewing again.

because when i, at last, find the most perfect and lovely (not to mention, long enough) floral dress, that would look flawless with a cardigan i already own...

i want to cry when i see the price.
(which, in case anyone is curious, is $218. EESH.)

i think i'd rather choose my own fabric and pattern and go nuts. i think it might just save me some money... all whilst satisfying my urge for fun and interesting clothing.

UPDATE: whilst posting this, i happened to receive my daily anthro email. ironic, no?
