Psh, Amish east coasters.

If I do stick to the dress it was my plan all along to wear a wrap/jacket, but it turned out that the ones I have at home aren't nice enough.

See, that's the complication, because I'll be there with a wedding party person, being seen with them.

hmmmmmm

I guess I don't consider that being a member. I've been a groomsman's date and never dressed as formal as him.

Then by all means Ball Gown ... hoop skirt, of course.

I still say just wear the dress with a nice wrap.

People are going to remember the wedding as, "Wow. The bride looked so lovely! Such a happy couple" and not "OMG! Did you see the groomsman's wife? A printed sleeveless style under a wrap? What was she thinking?"

Pretty much, unless you come dressed in white or wearing hooker attire, no one is even going to give a rat's ass about what you're wearing.

Seriously. If you like it, wear it.

In fact, wear a rat's ass!

Do you have one? I can give you mine.

When I screwed up the timing on something else I wanted to do today, I decided to hit the mall instead to find either a wrap or another dress. Before I could nail anything down my Theo countdown timer expired and we had to head home.

I think I'll stick to internet shopping.

I think Theo is telling you that you look gorgeous in that dress.

Well, she does...

Ok....so I did more shopping and the more I wore that dress to try with jackets and wraps the less I liked the dress. The pic doesn't really show it, but the top just isn't made for someone with my bust and it is not flattering at all. I love the print but the shape really isn't for me.

Instead I ended up at Nordstrom Rack and found a more formal look that fit perfectly, flattered me in all the right places, was a good deal AND came with a sleeved shrug. Guess I should get a picture.

BTW, to everyone who thinks that because I'm skinny I can wear anything...my list has been shortened significantly by childbearing.
