Loving BCBG 70% sale

I got downtown with about half an hour to go before the start of a networking reception so I decided to pass time window shopping. BCBG had a big 70% sale sign so I peeked in to see if there was anything there that I'd like. I don't usually have much luck at that store. I don't really like the majority of the dresses but the ones I do like, I fall in love with them. A few weeks ago, I looked at their website to see if there were any potential reception dresses and really liked this silk organza dress. It was too informal for a reception dress but I thought it'd be great to wear to a wedding as a guest. Still, I couldn't justify the cost and I forgot about it until last night!

I spied it on the rack as I was about to leave the store and was surprised to see that they actually had my size. Better yet, it was 70% off so I got it for $102! In person, it's not quite as pretty as it is in the picture but it's still a really lovely dress. The model looks very feminine and sezy in it whereas I kind of look more cutesy. Like you'd want to pat my head haha. Ah well. The color is tan with darker tan design with just a hint of pink/mauve. I think it looks "wedding-y" enough for my rehearsal but definitely colorful enough to re-wear to other people's weddings. It looks lighter and pinker in the picture than it really is.
