Holy smokes - I've got to get a fancy schmancy dress for this formal occasion. It's not like I haven't worn a dress in years. Okay it's been a couple now. But I wear them to other people's weddings. But this one is special and demands a special dress! Gulp.
The last time I graced that section of a dress store was shopping for prom dresses for Amy - her junior year. By her senior year, she was over it and just got a dress online. For her stint as homecoming queen candidate, she borrowed beautiful gowns instead of buying - saving additional trips to Stacy's and David's Bridal. Phew!
Now I'm faced with the hunt for the dress. Long or not? Um - with my legs...those lumpy knees. (Thanks a lot Mom) it will likely be long, at least over the knee. That would also help solve the show problem - flats! I will need some way to cover my shoulders, so a jacket would be good, but I don't want to look like Jud's grandma either! Then there is my last of a bust...so there may be some alterations involved.

Yes, I know - I won't be the center of attention at this grant event. But I want to look good, you know? Wish me luck as I venture out to begin trying on dresses. Those dressing room lights are very unforgiving. I hope to bring my bestie Deb in for support soon. I already checked out Von Mauer but there are many other places to go. Or not - maybe I'll get lucky quickly!

The good news? Wedding plans (April 23) are going well! Jud and Kara are very organized and have done a great job at dotting all those important i's. It's going to be a fairly small affair with mainly family (which is large on both sides) and their friends. It will be here before we know it. I need a dress!
