"Can you say \"Breakfast at Tiffany's\", \"I Love Lucy\", and \"The Honeymooners?\"\n\nClassic vintage - after lunch at Wasabi (see review) Jennie & I caught some cute shoes in the window. We went in, the style was only available in a 6. \n\nDamn. I'm an 8. I've come here previously for some of my most intimidating power suits for negotiations and just plain \"I-look-REALLY-good-in-this...\"\n\nHeading to the rear of the store my eyes light up.\n\nA-line dress.\n1940's/50's.\nClassic Black.\n\nIt's calling to me; it says in the words of \"Dee-Lite\", \"try me on, I'm very You...\"\n\nI piece through, small... medium... large! (hey, these grandmotherly hips of 52\" are NOT in denial...)\n\nI try in on and step out.\n\n\"OMG China, that's it. I squeal, pose, turn, pose some more in the mirror and am trying to think where I can wear this dress in Madison that it will be appreciated.\n\n(Still thinking...) But, I break out the Visa Debit card & get rung up along with a white cover up and a black and silver clutch to complete the ensemble. I know I have shoes at home somewhere to complete this look...\n\nNot cheap but definitely not break the bank.\n\nI enjoy and will return. Again."^^ . "2009-05-18T00:00:00"^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ . .
