An unintentional Mall Power-Walker

I left home bound for the mall at 5:30 this afternoon. Arriving there, I headed immediately to pick something for Scott. That being done, I spent the next 2 1/2 hours looking for a little black dress.

I walked up and down that damned mall and was even solicited by one of those hair vendors ("Hey, Miss! You want to try our hair straighteners?" he called out, waving the torture device at me as if I was really going to volunteer to be a public guinea pig). I went to all the stores that cater to my professional demographic. Gap. Banana. Petite Sophisticate. Bennetton.

I checked those stores that sell cheaply made clothing for exhoribtant prices. Cache. NY & Company.

I even scoured the racks at Hechts, JC Penney, Belk, and Nordstrom to no avail.

All the black dresses they had were either too glittery, or were cut for a teenager out of cheap-ass polyester.

I just want a plain black cocktail dress that can be worn to work in pinch if I run out of clean pants.

Got any leads, ladies?
