Gonna have to try that approach again if I get the chance!!!!....will post some pictures later when I get my camera to behave itself
This is the dress I bagged for an absolute bargain price..it feels AMAZING!!!!
Damn you Adipotter for buying that Jessica McClintock dress! Lol I knew I should've bought it! That's okay, I've actually been buying a ton of Jessica McClintock dresses lately, because unfortunately, they are no longer being made
So I'm trying to get as many as I can!
Great hauls everyone! I'll post mine eventually. It's a lot of pictures and I'm busy / lazy. lol.
