so tired of trying to find a dress

ugh is anyone else struggling with this. i need something for my cousin's engagement party next saturday. its at some place downtown, i think it's called The Venue on Clark. i looked at Macy's yesterday for like two hours and nothing. then i tried Nordstrom Rack but it was all too much. i have like 50 bucks left on a gift card. i just want something cute but not too revealing, you know. something that wont make me feel like im trying too hard. im so stressed out. what are you guys wearing to events lately.

@Fiona38 Oh wow, another dress hunt! I feel you. I swear it's like they design them for bodies that don't exist sometimes. Did you check out the sale rack at Macy's? Sometimes you can find a gem there.

@Fiona38 Ugh, The Venue on Clark, fancy! I went to a wedding there last year. It was pretty nice. For an engagement party, I'd probably go for something a little more cocktail-y. What kind of vibe are you going for?

@Fiona38 I know, right? I've been looking for a dress for my friend's baby shower next month and it's a nightmare. I swear I saw a cute navy wrap dress at Kohl's the other day. Maybe worth a peek?

@Fiona38 Don't even get me started on dress shopping. I need something for a work event and everything is either too short or too sparkly. I’m just going to wear my black pantsuit again probably.

@Post2 Totally know what you mean about the bodies! I did check the sale rack but mostly found things with weird patterns. I'm hoping to find something a bit more classic.

@Post4 Kohl's is a good idea, I'll have to check there. I need something nice but not too fancy for this. Did you see the wrap dress in person?

@Post3 Oh, a wedding there! That's helpful. I'm thinking cocktail is right. Maybe something with a little stretch so I can enjoy the appetizers!

@Post5 Ugh, work events are the worst for finding dresses! I always end up feeling like I'm trying too hard or not hard enough. My go-to is usually black too.

@Fiona38 I hear you! Dress shopping is the worst. I had to get a dress for my sister's graduation and it took forever. Did you try Nordstrom Rack? Sometimes you can score a deal.
