The Minneapolis Dress Scene

Almost every free minute I have had so far has been spent either researching healthy living opportunities here in Minneapolis or searching for the perfect dress. 

As I've written before, I'll be dancing this year again in the local "Dancing with the Stars" event.  So, now I have to find something sparkly to wear.  I figured while I was in another metropolitan area, I should take advantage of the expanded stock. 

I want something that has bling and will show off my much smaller portions.  Even though my performance is short, the dress is still important.  Important enough, at least, for me to search for something in another part of the world. 

So, I've been to every dress shop in Minneapolis and been in every dressing room available.  I tried on over 20 dresses... find a couple close to what I wanted, but none that were overly flattering.

I did finally buy one dress, though, late today at Neiman Marcus.  It's a black cocktail dress with lace on top, beaded and very slim fitting.  A gorgeous dress at a very good price.  Even if it doesn't work for the event, it's definitely something I can wear to the many functions I have to attend for work.  And, I can honestly say... I don't have one cocktail dress in my closet (that fits).

Not only do I feel like I was able to really get to know the city while here, I believe I am also now an expert in the Minneapolis Dress Scene.
