Help Me, Internets!

So I've been debating back and forth over this for three days, and can't make up my mind (yes, I know it's silly to be dithering so extensively over something so small and ridiculous, but this is what happens when I have spare time and mental energy), so... I put it to y'all to make up my mind for me:

Should I buy myself the black wrap dress I found at the secondhand store this weekend?

Pro: it fits
Con: it's a lot shorter than I first thought it was when I saw it on the rack

Pro: it's on sale at the secondhand store for next to nothing
Con: did I mention it's *really* short? Like, when I'm standing with my arms relaxed, my fingers come further down than the hem.

Pro: I don't have a lot of short-sleeved dresses in my wardrobe
Con: I do have a lot of black dresses already

Pro: it's versatile
Con: I'll probably never actually wear it.

Pro: just buy the damn thing already!
Con: WAAH I'm afraid!

So.... cast the deciding vote and alleviate me of any responsibility?

Edited to add: That answers that question. Took the car in for a $30 oil change and just got a call from the dealer saying that it needs over $600 of emergency services to be able to drive it home. I'm not going to be able to buy myself groceries for the next month, let alone dresses I don't need.

Damnit.

Buy it! If you find in time that it's too short for comfort, you can easily find something awesome to sew along the hem to lengthen it. :)

There's a fad right now for sheer ruffles along straight hems, so that would work out fabulously.
