I ordered a red pencil skirt for my white coat ceremony and Nordstrom Rack messed up and sent me a $1,600 Herve Leger dress. Should I keep it? The skirt was $150 and didn’t charge me extra.

Thanks to those standing up for me in the comments. I tried to do what I thought was right and return it before I even posted this. I just wanted to ask my little 1100 followers whether or not it’s worth it to own something worth that much.

Legally, I can consider the dress a free gift since I was sent something I didn’t order. I’m also entitled to the original $150 since I didn’t receive that item. I don’t think I want to pursue because a) I don’t want to sit on the line with customer service and b) it feels greedy

Honestly, even $150 is a lot for me. I thrift most things I own. I could donate the dress (and thought about it!) but then I’d be out that money. So, if you want to cashapp me the $150 I’ll donate the dress after wearing it ($3critty).

If you’re getting your MCAT score today remember that whether you got your goal score or didn’t do as well as you hoped, you took that vile test DURING A PANDEMIC. You can always take it again (I did 3 times!), celebrate your win today.

Some people are making this a philosophical exercise when the dress was legally and ethically mine to decide what to do with as soon as the cashier handed it back to me when I tried to return it. The question was whether or not to resell. That’s it.

@uche_blackstock Thinking about how the MCAT was my biggest hurdle to matriculating. First attempt was working full time & unsurprisingly didn’t score too well. Encouraged to apply anyway and failed to get off of waitlists. Took two years to save to afford time off, improved my score by 9 points.
