I'm so bummed, girls... my 21st birthday is next Saturday and I still don't have a dress. I've been looking for something that can be casual for my backyard party in the afternoon and can be dressed up just a little for whatever my bf and his brother have planned for me (I don't know what it is, but it's a big deal -- nothing too fancy). I bought a lilac Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent slipdress that I was going to wear with flip flops during the day and my JS black Barbs and a black belt that night. The dress didn't work out... it looks too much like a nightgown. I went to Nodies yesterday but nothing tickled my fancy there or anywhere else. I can't find anything online, either. This dress from Anthro would be perfect, but it's more than I want to spend.
I'd be willing to spend up to $200 for a really gorgeous dress. I'm going to NYC next Friday so I could always wait until I get there to find something... I just don't want to find nothing there and be stuck wearing something out of my closet. Can you girls help me, please? I'd also like to find something that would go well with any of my currently favorite shoes so I can get more wear before I say goodbye for the winter (or forever to the Barbs maybe):
UO sandals for day
Kors wedges (I think they could go either day or night)
Barbs (I wouldn't want to wear them during the day)
I know I'm being too picky and overthining it way too much, so please help me.
