WWYD re gift and returns*clicky poll!*
My mom bought me this dress from Nordstrom's, even though I said I wasn't sure I wanted it and definitely didn't need it (mainly because of the price- $258 yikes!)
I'm debating if I should take it back, because I could get several things for that amount of money that I would wear more (especially at the Rack). I can only think of one or two times I could wear this, and I wouldn't want to wear it around the same people (if that makes sense.)
FWIW my mom is in Dallas and will never know if I take it back.

i agree.

I would definitely take it back if you don't think you will wear it much and could use other things. Sometimes I find it useful to break things down by "cost per wear" to determine value when deciding whether to keep things.
Ex. $100 high-heeled black boots that I've worn a maximum of ten times = $10 per wear = not a good value
BUT
$150 low heeled brown boots that I have worn probably 200 times in the last two years = 75 cents per wear = good value
Here it becomes clear that wedding dresses are not a good value.
love the breakdown austinmimi! Ill have to keep that one in my back pocket
And I voted take it back. But as pp said, I am also a very practical kind of clothes shopper though. My other thought on it is, that even thought its a very cute black dress, after the next couple of seasons it may not be in style. Maybe you could find a black dress that is a little more timeless?
you are awesome.
FTR, I voted to return it - I buy cute dresses only to wear them only once. very silly.
Ditto this.
