I recently came across a website.
Not just any website, Pre-owned wedding dresses.com.
The ad said "Sell your dress, pocket the cash."
This caused my mind to go in several different places all at the same time & left me sitting here alone & confused.
My first thought: "What a neat idea"
Second: " I would love to have about $500+ in spending money"
Third: "Wait, would you really want to SELL your dress?"
Fourth: "I know it's just hanging in the closet...but get rid of it?"
Fifth: "No, I want to keep it for my children"
Sixth: "Not that they would ever want to wear it, it will likely be stored in an attic somewhere."
Seventh: " I could totally buy my Kitchen-aid mixer & the camera with that kind of money."
Eighth: "Does selling it put some kind of voodoo jinx on me?"
Ninth: " Does even contemplating it put some voodoo jinx on me?"
Tenth: "I'll just keep it...Let my children sell it after I'm dead & they can worry about the voodoo jinx."
So help me out here. How do YOU feel about this?
I mean on one hand there is the sentimental value. I LOVE that dress. Have since the moment I laid eyes on it. It's my wedding dress. Could I ever really part with it? Would I regret it the rest of my life? Would it make me resent the mixer & camera? Childish? maybe. Possible? quite.
On the other hand, there is the extra cash. Which is always nice. I could buy some things that I need/want. It's going to just sit in the closet from now on anyways.
Then there is the voodoo jinx.......positive I don't want to go down that route.
What do you think?
Could you do it?
