Return or Keep?


Return or Keep?, originally uploaded by Cohabitating_Closet.

I should not buy new clothes anymore, but I made the mistake of going into Daffy's last week to find some socks. And then I saw this huge display of Ben Sherman clothes on major discounts. This knitted black clingy dress seemed like a great idea at the time. I envisioned it as an easy travel dress, with colored tights in the winter. I wore it today just briefly with bare legs and realized that it's much shorter than I thought (again, it looked great in the mirror at the store).
It was $20, down from hundred something, so it won't break the bank, but is it worth it? Also, I don't want to institute a shopping ban, but I should really stop buying new clothes. I am not so concerned about thrifted and vintage, but I have too many clothes for our itty bitty closet.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!

I know that I am not actually Twiggy, but this dress makes me feel pretty carefree. Especially while watching films for class on Wednesday on American hegemony.

Also, thank you to Retro Riva for the blog award!
