After a good workout and a shower, I was off to David's Bridal with my mom and future mother-in-law :) It was a day of several dresses....some more interesting than others....
I'm pretty sure I'm the anti-bride. Of course, I came out of my dressing room and immediately told everyone that I hated this dress. "Look at me, I'm a mushroom!" You see, it's a convertible dress. A longer version for the ceremony and a shorter one for the reception. The convertible dress I had seen previously had the lower part of the skirt that zipped off under a ruffle. It was a humbling moment when the sales woman came by and told me the short dress goes under the long skirt. WHOOPS! It's even more hilarious that when my mom was helping me into the dress she said "That's so weird, the long skirt seems so much bigger than the dress." Oh my....
This is what the dress looks like when put on the right way. Much improved! It's so funny how when you are trying on wedding dresses, everyone has an opinion. I had the mom (?) of another bride telling me I had found the one and another girl suggested that I try on this beaded belt with the dress. Good choice :)
I don't like tiaras and don't think this counts as one |
Nothing was purchased today but it was still a lot of fun to go out with both of the moms! After David's Bridal, it was off to Julia's friend's birthday party. In true kiddo party style, there were tons of sweets. I didn't want to be rude so I sampled all of them :) Good thing I have a run scheduled for tomorrow morning!!!
How was your Saturday?
I would have LOVED a convertible dress! I got married on the hottest day of the summer and I was sweating like a pig! Haha, so romantic.
