WARNING: Materialistic Post Below


I really am NOT a clothes shoppers (I am sure my sister-n-laws, if reading this, are not believing such a statement, but it is really true.) I love clothes, but you have to have money to buy them and they really look best when you are not pregnant or covered in milk stains from nursing (sorry for the visual). So I admire them from a far and buy them when I have to (like weddings and the like), but I saw this dress when I was getting my hair cut today and instantly fell in love with it. I mean look at it. Its gorgeous. I love the sleeves, the "flowy-ness" of it, and the colors. I usually am not a flower person as far as clothes go but this is so delicately done. It looks like an impressionistic painting. The dress comes from H&M and I love the store, but the closest one to me is 4 hours away. H&M does not sell online and they do not take phone orders. What???? If I was the person in charge of H&M that would be my first objective: online shopping. 
Well, I came home and called the Atlanta store and she said that they sold out of it and for me to call H&M customer service in New York(which I was glad to do rather than my chores while the boys slept). I did and the lady told me that THIS dress sold out all across America on the first day it arrived into stores (March 23rd). She also told me (once again) that even if she did have it I could NOT buy it over the phone. What??? I still do not understand. They could make so much MORE money! Those European socialist need to get on the ball. 
Anywho, I am so crazy about this dress and I am going to search for it on Ebay, Craigslist, and send out an SOS on Facebook for it. Ok, really, I am NOT going to do (you can buy it now for $40 on Ebay) that because my life is so full of other things that are so much more important than the longing for material things such as this. It is fun to dream though. Check out the entire collection here and if you live close to an H&M-go shopping!

I love you dress even though I will never wear you.
