A Tale of Two Dresses

There really should be a law, or at very least a custom, that the mother of the groom can wear whatever they want to a wedding. Really. It could be that "something old".

I've been putting off the dreaded "Shopping for a Dress to Wear". It can be so soul-sucking to go shopping for something as specific as a wedding appropriate navy blue dress. Thanks to Suzanne, I girded up my loins and went shopping yesterday. It wasn't too bad - I only had to try on 4 dresses in two stores at one outlet mall. It definitely could have been worse.

Do I love the dress? No. But again, it could be worse. I do actually like it. And it fulfills all requirements - and that part I love.

Speaking of dress love...I found a dress for Miriam's birthday that I do love. I saw it first at Fred Meyer's a couple of days ago - I didn't get it then because I didn't know what size to get. After I talked to Stephanie I went to get it....and they were out of her size. Dang. That's okay though - after I found my dress at the outlet mall, I remembered that the mall had an Osh Kosh store. I wandered in - and lo and behold - there was the dress, in the right size, and marked 60% off. Wahoo. Or as Sue would say...woot!

Miriam's dress is adorable. Should I make a matching hair bow? Let me clarify: should I find a coordinating button, and sew it to a hair band?

I'd comment on your dress, but it's a little hard to see.

Woot!

New requirement: I'm going to have to insist that you love the dress.

Would have been nice if you had taken care of that traditional wedding attire before I have the same dilemma. Oh and did you mean old dress or something else?

I meant an old blue dress...but I suppose you could construe it to also mean me.

I would never call you old, that would be silly.
