what the bleep is that?!
Funny story…
Last year, on December 23rd, I was mentioning (complaining) that I had nothing to wear to Christmas Eve. Bryan handed me one of my presents from under the tree and said “Maybe this will help” (or something like that). I opened it up and it was the perfect grey dress from Anthropologie. It fit perfectly and best of all he picked it out 100% by himself! What a wonderful (then) fiance.
This year history seemed to repeat itself.
It was December 23rd and I was… mentioning… that I had nothing to wear to Christmas Eve. Bryan walks to the tree, grabs a present in an Anthro box with a pretty felt garland on it and says “Maybe this will help.” (or something like that). This time around I suspected what it was, a darling dress that I had seen on the Anthro website. Bryan had told me “maybe Santa will bring it for you” and I was so excited to get to wear the new dress the next day.
The box was kind of small, but it was only a dress so I didn’t think much of it. I opened the box and unwrapped the tissue paper to find … an adorable gold clutch! Well, I thought to myself, I can’t wear it but I can bring it along! However before I could say anything Bryan looks at the clutch and says “What the bleep is that?!” (he didn’t say bleep). I realized that he was as surprised to see the clutch as I was! Apparently he bought the dress, and paid for Anthropologie to gift-wrap it, and they accidently sent a clutch! Since he hadn’t had to wrap it, the clutch lay undetected under our tree for a good 4 days! Bryan called them up immediately and although the girl was super sweet and very helpful, we were told the dress would arrive by last Monday. A few days after Christmas, but on such short notice what could we expect?
I have been waiting very very patiently.
But, although a week late (well, two if you count back from Christmas), today I received the dress! It is super cute, fits perfectly and I am in love with it.
Anthropologie, even though you sent me a clutch, and then took your sweet time sending me my dress, I am still very much in love with you.

Awww! I am so sorry about that (the mix up and the long wait. I actually work as a visual manager at anthropologie). I’m glad you liked the dress though!! The corduroy texture is so fun.
Your hubby picked out a good one.
Happy new year!
Visual Manager for Anthropologie sounds like heaven! I am in love with that store
hilarious (yet maybe not so at the time) story! your life is so interesting, my friend. never a dull moment in the harney household. i’m pretty sure the clutch was adorable, but i LOVE the dress! fred’s picked out ONE item of clothing for me in our 3 years together and it was a GORGEOUS shirt from anthro. i think our hub’s need to follow their instincts more often
yay for the cute yellow dress. p.s. bryan DPES realize that he’s now made this a tradition, right? can’t wait to see what you’ll be wearing come christmas eve next year

swoon. I need to go get that dress before it’s too late! i seriously go in there about three times a week buying latte bowls.
well..when i saw this exact dress i almost pooped my pants. this would have been PERFECT (and exactly what i was looking for last year) for my bridesmaids to wear.
sigh.
this dress is so cute, and it’s awesome that he knows how to shop for you! oh man, i don’t think the boy would have a clue.

That is one of the dresses in consideration for my sister to wear for her bridesmaid dress! So cute! Good man.
