I finally got my bridesmaid dress sent in for alterations. My measurements were perfect for the size, I just really needed the straps attaced and something done about the very pointy bossom area. Apparently the boning won't flex. It took me over an hour to get it done, I was so frustrated. But I think it will look great. I'm having some nice rounding-out pieces added. The total cost: $56. Not to bad I guess. I ended up going to a department store. I know I could have gotten it cheaper, but I know I got better service, especially with the add ins.

I also bought a light jacket. This should last me for a few years. all my clothes were in the black shade, and I finally got a few browns... So I got a tan jacket that will go with everything. I could even wear it as a light blazer.

That was about all my spending with the exception of some food. There is this awesome polish grocery store by me. They have everything and it's huge. It's so much fun to look at everything and figure out what it is. I picked up some things to sate my sweet tooth and some fruit for the other days. I also bought some packaged Polish candy for my grandma. She'll love that.

The weekend was capped about at just over $100. It's amazing how that number gets put into perspective when comparing it to my hourly salary. Good thing I'm cutting back on spending.
