But before you do, let me defend myself:
I've spent all the money I've needed to spend on books and other pieces of music and literature that I need for my research. I spent over $1,500 on research. I had money budgeted for rent in case I had to stay in an apartment in the city. Turns out I didn't. So, that was $1,500 dollars. Yes. YES, okay, I ADMIT IT!!
I used it on clothes...ehhee.
Anyway, if you can read that, you know my secret. It was money I had planned on saving when I got back to the U.S. For food, for tickets to the Met, maybe. But Brazil has made me a bit more vain, I suppose. Eek! I'll use the dresses for musical performances-- for example, my recital that is coming up next Spring.
One dress I got for $150 when the value was really $500. Lucky. Another I got for $600 when the value was really $800. I did a lot of bargaining. I'm proud of me. Here are some pictures of the $600 dollar one, before all the finishing.

Beautiful. I don't approve, but it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteStunning! Jeff saw it and his jaw quite literally dropped. (he actually said he thought it'd be a beautiful wedding dress)
