Thanks for appreciating the dress story, but my sister is right--there was a second-best bargain. She and I went shopping in Dayton's Oval Room after we picked out bridesmaid dresses for her wedding. I wanted a wrap to wear in church. I spied a green and gold velvet scarf by Chanel--the only scarf in the whole place. Not only did it match, but when the saleswoman rang it up, there was no sale price in the system, so she gave it to me for 50% off the last sale price. I paid just over $60, about 10% of the original price. I’ll try to post pics, but the site is being difficult.
