daily outfit: the “i love Tucker” edition.

the following is a true tucker-loving story:

the Tucker for Target line came out a couple years ago & when it did, i was just a lonely grad student who somehow justified buying two out of the three possible silk, shirtdresses.

i dearly loved the two that i bought,

but i always longed for the third-the Tucker signature-diamond print-navy & raspberry lover.

after seeing it on an episode of Oprah: Behind the Scenes (low point?) & on the body of one of my favorite bloggers, Miss Julie, (is this creepy?) i decided to do what any sane fashion-loving girl would: start a mad eBay search.

over the last couple years, i have typed “tucker for target” into the eBay search bar more times than i should probably admit, i’ve “watched” the dang dress until the price seemed way too unreasonable for a once Target-priced item, & even considered buying one dress that was three sizes too big, because i thought paying triple the price for alterations might have to be my only choice.

then came this last week.

what a glorious week it was.

sometimes, when luck is consistent, you naturally test its limits.

& so i did, in the form of eBay.

low & behold, there was my dress.

the right size, the right price, & finally the right time.

they say timing is everything, 

& in the case of this dress,

i know i’ll appreciate it more so than i would have two years ago.

at least that’s what i’m telling myself.

case closed.
