prairiewindmomma 32,528 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I have a case of the Mondays. I'm dragging myself along despite that, though.

Paige 17,028 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Insurance hoops make me want to stick someone in the eye! Not any specific person I've talked to, but whoever was on the committee who made the dumb rules would be on my list. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jean in Newcastle 174,790 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Puppy Monkey Mountain Goat can now leap up on dd's bed. Dd's bed is about desk high (with a big "cave" underneath for Libby). Since she was all wet from the rain today that was a surprising way to wake up for dd! And no, I did not put puppy up to it. It's a Puppy Monkey Mountain Goat Booyah! 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paige 17,028 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Which dress for DH's retirement ceremony? Or neither? Are both too young? Don't go stealing them out from under me before I make a decision...Dress 1 seems more springy and light and I don't have any other white dressy outfits. Dress 2 seems like a more forgiving cut if the fit is off, but I have a lot of navy. I have another dress in this brand/size that fits so I think they'll be ok but it's hard to know for sure. https://www.thredup.com/product/women-milly-casual-dress/26104199 https://www.thredup.com/product/women-milly-casual-dress/36057709 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another Lynn 44,387 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 (((Jean))) for the stress hugs all around! dress - like them both. If it were me, I probably wouldn't get white because 9 times out of 10 I'd reach for something else in my closet first.

Paige 17,028 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 You all are no help on the dress. I like them both too (darkish hair, pale skin, light eyes). There's probably a reason I don't have much white but I can almost always get a stain out of white without ruining an item, but colors can't hold up to bleach and sun. They have free returns but only give store credit. Maybe I'll get both and return one. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How are returns if the dress doesn't fit as well as you hope? And how tight is time to get a dress? If time isn't tight and returns are easy and quick I'd go for the white, since you don't have other white ones. If you like the navy better, though, go for the navy even if you have other navy dresses. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
