Postscript

I eventually chased down a bag to go with the shoes. It was a vinyl hobo-style bag I found at WalMart, on clearance, for $5.00. I even found some cute jewelry, also on sale, that I thought would look good with the dress and everything else.

All that remained for me was an attempt to even out my tan. I'd done some work outside recently, and had lots of sun on my arms and neck, but nothing on my chest, back or shoulders, all of which would be partially exposed by the dress.

The salon where I go for my manicures and pedicures also has tanning beds, so I thought I go for a couple of short sessions to see how that did. After the first session, I burned. I've had sunburn before, but this was ridiculous. I didn't even burn all over. I burned in patches, while the surrounding areas of skin showed no signs of exposure. By the time it healed, I looked pretty much the way I did before I climbed into that bed.

In the end, I wore a different outfit. I did use the shoes, bag and jewelry I picked out to go with the dress, so it wasn't a total loss.
