I am looking for a little advice from you wonderful people. I have X's graduation and a wedding this summer along with other events. I have learned in my few years of adulthood that there is always a need for a good (solid) dress. What I mean by that is not a cocktail dress (though they are extremely important) and not a cotton summer dress/winter sheath, but that thing in between. I was thinking I had found it and now I'm not sure - behold:
It wouldn't be this colour or this length - but the point is a convertible dress. I was looking at a short deep navy colour.
It goes for about $80 on Etsy. For the longest time I thought it was brilliant and now with things being a little crunched I'm not sure if in the end I'm better off buying something from H&M for half the price and either not using the other half or putting it towards other summer gear.
Let me know what you think. I will also say I'm a little apprehensive
as Etsy has burned me in the last little while correction Customs has burned me by holding packages for 3-4 weeks longer than projected on everything I've purchased from Etsy. I do not want to invest in something so crucial not to have it come or even worse look right.
