Kelsey has a dress for the wedding! YAY! After watching her try on all those dresses (and remember you guys only saw a portion of them!) I'm so happy that Kels found a dress that we both love love love! We have both been spending some time on Pinterest, pinning dresses we found online that we really like for possible bridesmaid dresses. (If you're not on pinterest yet, do it. Its awesome.) We both agreed after the last shopping/marathon that we were finding a lot more dresses that we liked online than in the stores. Of course, the issue with online shopping is that you can't try it on to see how it really looks. Harumph.
But after retrying on the dresses that Kels bought for the boys and letting everything sit for a few days, Kels suggested that she order a dress from Modcloth that we both really liked. The nice thing about Modcloth, was that she could return it if we didn't like the fit, but it would mean losing her shipping and handling costs. The dress price was reasonable and I think my always thoughtful sister was sensing my frustration with our lack of success on the maids' dresses front so she took a chance and ordered it!
And I'm so happy she did! She looks fabulous :) I think the ruffles give the dress that romantic feel that I was talking about, but the pencil skirt and asymmetry make if a bit more modern and interesting. Its also a really nice warm brown color that we haven't found a lot in stores and looks beautiful next to her skin tone. (Most everything we find is either dark chocolate or cream/khaki.) Kels says its comfortable, but I think its still plenty fancy for the wedding. Its even plenty long for those legs of hers. Huge win! Win. Win. Winner.
HOORAY!
