Bridesmaid Dress Shopping

Tonight was the first "official" BM shopping trip. We sorta cheated with Stephanie's dress. We found it on sale online at Nordie's and she ordered it in. Let me say that it is so stinkin' cute and at the risk of being a cliche, "she can totally wear it again." She doesn't even have to shorten it! I don't have a pic of her in it. Sadly, Steph broke her big toe and had to have surgery to put a pin in to fix it so photos are kinda off limits for the time being. Understandably so! Here's a picture of the dress on the model and I'm sure Steph'll look just as hot.


Now, for tonight's trip. Natalie and I grabbed Stephanie's dress for coordination's sake and hiked over to Mia's in Olathe. They have an extensive Bridesmaid dress selection and as they just finished remodeling also have a very nice showroom.
Poor Natalie though. If you've never met my sister, well let me just say that for as much of a girlie-girl as I am, she most definitely is not! I think the dresses burned when she put them on. :) She looked very pretty, but since she hasn't worn a dress since Mom forced her into submission and wrestled her into an Easter dress when she was three she didn't exactly feel comfortable today. Not to mention, the consultant acted like she didn't even exist and would only really talk to me. She was a trooper though and tried on all the dresses I pulled out for her. We did find this style as our favorite at Mia's but of course we'll keep looking.


It may not be "the one" but hopefully we'll be able to find a nice compromise between BM dress and punk rock jeans. The search continues...
