Help Me, Internets!

[ladysprite]

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.

> I'll probably never actually wear it.

It's more important that you throw your money at progress towards your own comfort level than throwing it at satisfying the prurient interests of me and some other members of your audience. Unless, as janetmiles suggests, it would make a good tunic. Or perhaps a good scarf :>
