Back before I had kids, I went shopping with my (now) mother-in-law for a dress to wear to my (now) brother-in-law's wedding.
We went to some boutique that didn't have price tags on the gowns (should've been my first clue...what's the saying? "If you have to ask, you can't afford it").
I saw a beautiful gown and took it into the fitting room. It fit like a glove. Went out to show MIL and everyone was oohing and aahing so I decided to buy it.
It was $445.00.
I paid for it, and left the store in shock. Granted, it was my own money that I worked for, but I still felt embarrassed telling my (now) husband how much it cost.
I only wore it once. It still fits and is hanging in my closet waiting to be worn again, but I never go anywhere formal anymore.
