Dress obsession

My currrent obsession is this linen dress at the Gap that I've been wanting for at least a month, maybe longer. I didn't buy it because it was $58.00 & with me not working, therefore having no place to wear it, not to mention being poor, I couldn't justify spending that much money on it. I was on Gap.com this week & saw that the dress was marked down to $12.99, but they are sold out online! Today I went to the Gap at the mall to see if they had it there, they did, but not in my size. I asked the salesperson if she could check the other Gaps in town to see if they had it. She said she could check every Gap in the US through their computer. She checked in my size, a size larger & in all three colors (black, white & light blue...in order of my preference) but there are none to be found. I asked if the search included the outlet, she said it did not, but chances were slim they would have it because it was a new item & the outlets are behind. BUT...I came home and out of desperation searched Ebay & found it in my size!!! It's the light blue one, but at this point I don't give a damn, I MUST have that dress dammit. Starting bid was $9.99 & as of right now I'm the only bidder...6 days left in the auction. The seller states that they bought it at a Gap outlet, so I will be calling the one in St. Augustine tomorrow, maybe I can get it in black then I will be so happy!!!
