I'm standing up in her wedding as the Matron of Honor.
I joke that this means I am to do my very best to look the part -- frumpy and you know, matronly.
She asked each bridesmaid to buy herself a little black dress. Any designer, any style will do. We get to pick whatever we love and feel amazing in, as long as it's a certain length and black. A very cool bridesmaid assignment.
The only pitfall with it is now I'm charged with finding said dress. It's not that I don't enjoy the shopping and the buying. Oh no. I enjoy those greatly. But finding the time isn't always easy with my sweet little two-feet-tall companion.
I also have a bad habit of buying things without putting the adequate amount of thought into them. Queen of the impulse buy. The buy-it-because-it's-on-sale. Because-it-looks-good-on-the-hanger, sure-it'll-look-good-on-me. The buy it because I'm in a hurry and leaving empty-handed just feels so wrong.
So I was at Nordstrom's last week, and I tried on six dresses, and they were all nice. And so I couldn't leave without one, right?
I mean, the wedding is only..... seven months away.
Sheesh.
And so I bought a dress. It's twirly. Meaning, the skirt is flippy and spinny. That's nice. It also features an interesting collar detail. Other than that.... I'm starting to think I goofed. That it's sort of a sad dress. While parts of it are flattering on me, it is a little frumpy from the chest to the waist. There's nothing to cinch it in.
What do you think? Sad?
I can do better, right?
This dress is a lot "blacker" than the pics make it seem!! It's cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI know! That is weird. It's really black. I think it's going back. :)
