Last winter, a colleague asked me to participate in a date auction for charity. I said I'd do it if my friend signed up as well, and we dove in head-first. Everyone up for auction needed to wear a red dress, but since red isn't exactly my color, I didn't already have one I could wear.
Two stops at Value Village later, and I was set. I found a Nicole Miller* dress for a whopping $6.95. Add that to the $10 clutch I got from Payless and the $11 shoes from Target that happened to match, and I was ready for the auction.
A year later, I'm still dating the guy who bought me, a stranger who took a chance on the first girl up for bid.
No matter how often I purge my closet, I don't think I'll be getting rid of this dress for a long time.
*That little number is most certainly backless. Double-sided tape is required for any public appearance. And yes, my hair was short. And I was that happy that MC bought me.
