I'm debating what to wear to the Royal Ottawa Hospital's Inspiration gala on March 5th. I'm not a regular on the gala circuit, so I don't have a closet full of choices. I do, however, know a good resale store with formal wear.

 I check the Rikochet racks. We could really use more larger sizes - 14, 16, L and XL. Come on women! Bring it in! I know you're out there. I see you on the street, checking me out, smugly thinking that you are smaller than me.

Remember, I look better naked.

Anyways. I'm keeping an eye on the racks. There are a few nice BCBG numbers, a couple of vintage dresses, etc. But we've started taking more spring wear, so the heavier weight items that I still want to wear given the last kick at winter (hopefully) aren't on the racks.

Given I'm a mainstream madame, I head to Winners. There are some cute Calvin Klein dresses that aren't dressy enough. A Kenneth Cole shift...nothing I like. Maybe it's the grey day. Maybe I need to find the shoes first.

More research required, so I'll let you know what I come up with...
