I first got this dress a few years ago on a trip to Edmonton. I was visiting for a university newspaper conference and bought this gem for a gala we were all to attend. When I got back to my hotel room, I discovered that one of the girls I was rooming with had also bought the very same dress for the very same occasion. She was really quite mad that I had purchased the same thing as her, but there was no way either of us could have known! I told her that I didn't mind at all if we wore the same dress as I was sure we would style it different. She refused my offer and asked me if I would not wear it. Usually I am not one to cause a disagreement, but I just had to stand up for my self. For one, I didn't have anything else to wear (nor any extra money to get a new dress/time to return this one) so I insisted that I wear it regardless of what she wanted. I felt kind of bad about it, but it wasn't my fault! In the end I ended up wearing this dress and she wore something else because she thought everyone would notice if we were dressed to similarly. Oh well! Now my dress comes with a story!

awesome dress! too cute!
pity you had those issues with wearing the same dress! It totally can knock some people down (or you might become friends)
How the conference went?

Good for you! I'm glad you stood up to that girl and wore your dress. I mean it's not like you meant to copy her, or her you, things just happen! Cool beans for standing up and wearing the dress!
That was really ballsy of her to demand you change your dress. Who does she think she is anyway? I'm glad you said no. It's not like you planned it. That girl sounds like a piece of work.
