on the hunt for a cute dress

alright, alright, i know i might get some slack for this, but at this point i'm feeling kind of desperate.

so ladies (or men who are knowledgeable on women's fashion), have any suggestions on where to find a cute dress?

nye is the 2 year dating anniversary (yes, we're 16) for Jackson and i. i know it's not a huge deal, but it's an excuse for us to celebrate, go on an actual date (we have really different schedules, so our dates tend to be cuddling and watching a movie at 10pm), and enjoy some quality time together. i'm hoping to find something with a retro flare, under $75, and something that i'll want to wear again. so far, all of the choices i've made have either not fit me, or the site(s) i've found the dress on did not have my size in stock.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is it weird that their are more dudes posting here than ladies? Anywho, Patrick you and your lady do some cool blogs. I check yours regularly since you first told us about it on LST and have told others about it. Now your ladies I will have to share as well.

My homie in New York lady own this shoe company: http://cri-de-coeur.com/tag/moo-shoes/ that is right up your alley I believe?!? Not a dress but shoes and I know girls tend to love their shoes and most guys like ladies that wear awesome shoes as well.

thanks for the link Lochlan! i'm not sure that i can afford any of the shoes on there, but yes, i am interested in vegan heels. i wish my boyfriend was into me wearing shoes, but alas, he doesn't care. last year i wore 4 inch heels that gave me huge blisters on the bottom of my feet (thanks to also wearing tights) thinking it might be eye candy for him, but it was the least of his concerns. i NEVER wear heels. even to work, i wear Vans. i don't usually dress very feminine, so nights like these are an excuse to get to. Jackson would be more excited about me wearing camo pants with saucony's, and a Candiria tshirt than he would about me going to dinner wearing heels, stockings, and a dress. at this point, i'm dressing up for me.

and thanks Patrick for showing me your girl's blog! it's really nice and i may take you up on emailing her.

Gia and hambone, thanks for the suggestion! i've been to modcloth a few times, but most of the dresses there i like are sold out right now :(

    • Thanks. And u just made me laugh, I guess my comment sounded conceded, and I did not mean to sound that way. I guess I'm in freak out mode because it's so on display. I don't think anything will ever meet my expectations because of where it is. So on display. My friend is actually going to my tattoo guy BECAUSE of this tattoo. Removal is not an option. I wont do that. I do have crippling anxiety due to having multiple sclerosis. I'm overly critical of this tattoo. The design is a sun with sun rays  that wraps around and up over my shoulder and a lotus below it. I don't like flowers. Just lotuses. Haha. So it's not your typical flowers down the arm tattoo. It's actually a unique design. I love yoga and zen things although from my post...I don't sound so zen. Haha. I've been going thru it now since summer started. I would say it's going in a while. I wear it out, got a compliment from someone at the gas station, I just don't look at it myself with it. It makes my stomach sink. Like I ruined myself. I'm ocd about it. I continue to get tattoos tho. I dont want to be a lunatic over it either. I always said I would never tattoo my upper arms and I did. And for the life of me, can't figure out why I did that. I was living in the moment I guess. So, if the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet my expectations,  what do u do for that? Add to it? Thank you for responding to me. I appreciate it a lot. I feel like I lost my mind over thos. I just got another tattoo on my forearm, and love it, it's smaller. Maybe that's why. I don't know. I allowed thos to be placed somewhere I never wanted ot, I approved it loved it afterwards and now....maybe cause it's so on display. I'm not used to having such big visible tattoos. Like, why cant I just be cool about it. I LOVE tattoos. 
    • "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.
    • Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line, and hes not cheap. Hes been tattooing me and my husband a long time. The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight. Its a bold tattoo. All black. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror at this tattoo. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It's healed, but all I do is cover it and hide it. Has this happened to anyone? It turned out bigger and bolder than I ever imagined. From my shoulder to about 3 inches above my elbow.   
    • Good luck. Job hunting sucks. I got laid off from a company after 20 years and it took six months to find a job. I was in the dreaded “middle” management role at an IT company. A little over two years later my new company was  bought out and they did a “restructuring” which means the people doing the work get fired so the people sitting on their fat asses get fatter.  I couldn’t find what I really wanted so I just retired. Might be a good time to think about switching fields.
    • The only "amazing" thing I've been doing lately is job hunting. Honestly, it’s stressful. I’m always worried about having enough money for basic expenses and stuff each month. There are lots of jobs on Layboard https://layboard.in/vacancies/jobs-in-uae/jobs-in-dubai/speciality/baker, where I’ve spent most of my time. I sent my CV to several companies and I’ve got decent baking skills, even without formal training. So I hope they'll give me a chance to do a test task or something to show what I can do.
