I love a good deal, and Ross Dress for Less is full of ’em. I used to call my trips home to Alabama my “buying trips,” since I would go to every Ross store I could find and stocked up on my dresses for the season. About 2 years ago, they finally debuted in the Chicago suburbs…and now…they are in the city limits!! My dreams have come true!

To celebrate,  I went and bought the blingiest dress I could find for under $35. I found this gorgeous R&M Richards black dress with a jewel and crystal-encrusted neckline. It’s floor-length with a ruched bodice, and I would feel comfortable wearing it to the fanciest of fancy events! Here, I show it off in the lovely Alabama Theater in Birmingham, AL…what do you think??

I couldn’t resist a little balcony performance…lol
