As most of you would have guessed, I chose Dress #1 to wear during my graduation/convocation/commencement.
My T Tahari Sleveless Color-Block Dress
I was so proud of the fact that I bought it for $85 after discounts that applied when I got the Macy's credit card. Sooooooo proud. Although, the dress is a gift from mr. boyfriend's mom and I need not be too concerned about the cost of the dress. Still. There's always the thrill of thinking that you've gotten a good deal or bargain.
In between all the traveling and moving back home with bits and pieces of my "past" life strewn all over, I totally forgot that the Macy's credit card had a completely different payment date than all the other store credit cards that I have (and I have quite a few!).
I realized it on the day of the payment itself but the way payment for credit card bills work, you can't pay on the day itself. The bank only processes it the day after. So, technically, I was one lousy measly day late, although I paid on the deadline.
And we all know what credit card companies do when that happens--I now have to pay $25 extra for "late" payment.
So after all the hassle of getting the Macy's credit card and everything (I even bought the same dress online in case it was cheaper that way and I had to return it in the stores...woe be me!), the dress ended up costing exactly how much it would have without the discount from the credit card application.
The stupid things I do...*sigh*
