Can someone tell me if I am being ripped off? I took a dress to a local seamstress to have the hem take up about 2 inches. It's a faux denim dress with two layers. My jaw almost hit the floor when she told me it would be around $25. Thoughts?

Man Crush Monday:
Andy Murray
Nick and I saw Gone Girl last week! I was really excited that Gillian Flynn, the author, also wrote the screen play. That's really the only way to go when turning a book into a movie. I find that movies based on books when the authors sell the rights never turn out as great as I hope. I felt Rosmund Pike came off older on screen than how I pictured Amy throughout the book. However, I do think she's in the running for an Oscar nod. Her acting was amazing. Also, no one has mentioned this so I'm going to - how about that Ben Afflect full frontal? I found it really weird and unneccessary. Would love to hear your thoughts on this movie!
Have a great week and don't forget to link up!
I didn't catch the Ben Affleck flash- although I did catch the Neil Patrick Harris bloody one. Awkward.
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting that you are cruising in November! Hope you have so much fun. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Yay for you taking a cruise next month! And I have yet to see Gone Girl, can't decide if I want to!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I think the tailoring price you got was actually pretty good. I had to have my rehearsal dinner dress taken in and the first place I took it quoted me $65 because it was two layers.. um no! I paid $100 for the dress itself! I looked at reviews online and found another place to take it, but it was still $40.
ReplyDeleteYay vacation- that sounds wonderful! Which islands will you be going to?
Ashley! I just got back from my honeymoon and read two books that reminded me a lot of Gone Girl (not too much). I'm at my desk and don't remember the titles at the moment (sad) but I will let you know what they were later. If you liked Gone Girl I think that you would like these a lot too.

I bought the dress second hand for like $8. I about died.
DeleteA Bahamas cruise sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI want to see Gone Girl, everyone says it's really good!
I absolutely loooooved Gone Girl! I didn't read the book, so I had no clue what was going to happen and was just in suspense the entire time. I really loved it and thought they both played their parts extremely well. And the Bahamas- so fun!!!
ReplyDeleteYay for seeing Gone Girl finally! The thing about Rosmund Pike that totally threw me off was how deep her voice was... not at all how I pictured Amy in my head. And yeah, all the nudity was totally not necessary in my opinion but that's Hollywood!
