Look What I Got: Hard Earned Prabal Gurung


Dress: Prabal Gurung for Target | Shoes: Dolce Vita via Marshalls (similar) | 
Necklace: J. Crew Factory (worn, similar) | Sunnies: Betsey Johnson via Marshall's (worn, similar) | Bracelets: Groopdealz & C. Wonder (worn) | 
Earrings & Ring: Nissa Jewelry (giveaway win from Lipgloss & Crayons)








Getting this dress was quite a journey.  I trekked to two different Targets the weekend the collection debuted.  However, unbeknownst to me, not all stores had the full collection and it was sold out online.  I thought all was lost...since there was no way I was paying above retail on eBay.  Then, by chance, I saw Carly of Lipgloss and Crayons wearing the dress.  (OK, not by chance...I read her blog everyday).  I commented that I loved the dress and couldn't find it.  Well, Carly replied that she had an extra dress that she ordered online....IN MY SIZE!   It was fate.  Carly and I did a quick Paypal transaction and the dress was in the mail.  However, UPS then held my package hostage.  It took several angry phone calls with UPS call center folks, but the Scot was finally able to rescue my dress from the depths of a sketchy UPS facility.  And then immediately after, I won Carly's giveaway for some fabulous earrings and a ring.  With all my treats from Carly, I was able to duplicate her outfit exactly.....I promise I am not creepy.
