I was naughty, really naughty. I lied to my husband…about how much this dress cost…. But a Temperley dress is for life, not just for Christmas. As I plugged my credit card details into the internet, I envisioned my daughter wearing it for her first party, her doting mother (ageing gracefully) doing up the hooks and some soft focus going on…. And that’s got to be worth £988. Doesn’t it?
And having got it home, it is worth it. I feel like Angelina Jolie in Cannes with her bump. And I look as good as she did. And the reasons I bought it were:
1. It’s an investment – I will definitely wear it after my pregnancy, and when my figure returns to a size 10 and I’ve had my boobs lifted, it will be easy to alter.
2. It was on sale so I actually saved £262.
3. I paid for it with my BA card so I’m going to get loads of air miles
4. It’s the most beautiful dress I’ve ever worn
Reasons I should have just said no:
1. It was more expensive than my wedding dress
So if you look at it methodically, 4 to 1 that I should buy it. So it’s not an impulse buy but a carefully calculated decision.
Hormones had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Congratulations on you bargain buy ! :)
And since you saved £262, I think should have just enough to treat yourself to a fab pair of shoes to go with it.
I think you should treat yourself its a beautiful dress. I am sure your daughter will love it, as its such a timeless piece. I have to say that watching Ben's On Thin Ice I can see how much he dotes on you its really lovely you are a very lucky lady. I bet he thinks you look a million dollars in it.
Quite right, I am out for some more investment dressing myself.....just a chance that my husband will understand the logic!
