DIBS!

So my friend Chana Malka said to me the other day, "did you see the new Anthropologie catalogue?". What she doesn't know is, my husband gets the mail, and for about a year now, my Anthro catalogues dont seem to make it to me. Personally, I think he hides them on purpose knowing how much I would (and do) spend there. So I make due by looking at the goods online or in the store.

So she says to me "did you see the butterfly dress?". Well, I hadn't so I rushed home to check it out and found this:

Isnt that the prettiest dress ever? And all you need to wear is a little 3/4 sleeve undershirt to make sure it covers your elbows. Stunning. I wish I could make the picture bigger so you could really see how amazing this dress is, but I dont have that kind of computer capabilities. So you will just have to check it out yourself here: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=7845904241826446352&id=930026&parentid=NEW_APP_DRESS&pushId=NEW_APP_DRESS&popId=NEW_APP_DRESS&sortProperties=%2BmarketingPriority%2C-saleDate&navCount=1&navAction=&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=nem&colorName=NEUTRAL+MOTIF

Um, that is the longest link ever. I will try to figure out how to make that shorter.

So here is my dilemma. Technically Chana Malka has dibs on the dress because she saw it first. But I REALLY LOVE THIS DRESS. So what should I do? I was thinking I should just ask if she is really going to buy the dress, and if so, wish her well, but if not, then I was going to ask her if it was ok with her if I buy it. What I feel REALLY bad about is, I kind of have totally done this to her before. There was a pair of earring she loved at a gala we were at, and she saw them first, but they were the best pair of earrings there and I loved them. She decided not to buy them, so I did. So I feel bad about doing it again. I guess I just love her taste. (She really does have impeccable taste). So Chana Malka, if you are reading this, you have awesome taste and please only tell me about items you are not going to buy for yourself because you know I will just want to rush out and buy them for myself.

***UPDATE*****
After all that, when I tried on the dress I looked HORRIBLE! Very fat. Not a good look AT ALL. So I passed on the dress. As it turns out, a bunch of people I know also tried on the dress and looked horrible. I sure do love that print- too bad the dress sucked.
