also - there were a bunch of black dresses at this last wedding (which was very formal) - i thought this was a no-no? or is that thought out of date?

But it was colder than expected at the last wedding I attended, so I did buy a Target cardigan/"shrug," which I returned the next morning. It was black, so there were no red wine stains, even.

Of course, I shamelessly returned it (sweaty) two days later, but I'm still proud of my mad skills on that one. Also, regarding honest service - last time we went to a bar near my office, we had the most honest waiter - he told us not to buy the blueberry ale cause the lines were beyond foul. However, they do have an unholy redeeming food - FRIED CHEESECAKE. I love food. My favorite dress purchase of all time -
