I have a really hard time dressing up.  Just the thought of having to find something to wear, find the shoes to go with it - out of my closet - makes me depressed.  I recently found something nice to wear - a pair of black capris, a cute white top and some very cool heels.  It took me all day to shop and it’s exhausting!

So…  I have to find a dress by July 17th - well that’s cutting it close - the wedding is on the 18th.  Ha Ha … just kidding Heather.  I think I’ll start looking next month! 

If you go on-line and look at “Mother of the Bride Dresses” here is what you will find:

no no no no ….

Wow…. NO

I need to go shopping…. any ideas of a store that carries a really cool dress that doesn’t look like the ones above?   Nothing bad about women who wear them…. it’s just not me.  I’m more the casual beach Mom :)  and the wedding is in a very beautiful Catholic church, not on the sand.

My oldest daughter is getting married next July.  She has a blog - link on the side over there - “We Met in a Bar”.  It is a really cute blog all about the wedding planning, neat ideas, cute clothes she finds, and more.  You should go check it out!  Since she has been blogging about flower girl dresses, I thought I would share some that she wore.

First… here she is in my wedding dress years ago

She was in four weddings, three dresses ….. I made this little pink dress with white ribbon. It was really hard, a vogue pattern I believe… but it turned out really good.

This dress I bought and took it in to fit better… did an okay job except for the shoulder pad things..

This dress is very cute, made this one too … I think… it’s been so long ago… We still have this dress! Check out the socks!

Now my little girl is all grown up and will have little flower girls in her own wedding. I need to start looking for a dress for me to wear! Since I don’t like shopping,,, this should be really fun….. not! I will find something nice, don’t worry Heather!
