Where are all the good designers?

Oh my Saturday. Do you know what I spent a good portion of Saturday doing?

Dress shopping.

Just not any dress shopping but bridesmaid dress shopping.

My friends and I were prepared - the four of us- to try on some really good and bad dresses. It was all in celebration for my friend, Michelle, who is getting married next September. She enlisted the help of three of us to trek all over the Cleveland area to try on dress after dress.

Do you know how many hideous dresses there are out there? I mean, ugly ass dresses that make 27 dresses look like a couture Vera Wang dress. And you know that women are buying these ugly options and making their poor friends wear these. Not everyone wants to be covered in oodles of taffeta or frumpy silhouettes.

Between three stores, we found a few options but mostly all agreed on two, which was quickly narrowed down to one winning dress.

A few options


We didn't like these either


Supposedly this one could be shortened


We are getting closer and ta dah! The winning dress is being worn on the left by Michaelene


Although she's not getting it in black but going with an eggplant color, or at least that's where we left it on Saturday night after a few bottles of wine. It very well could change but I think her mind is made up.

And, one of the best parts, I'm in a wedding three weeks before Michelle's and apparently my friend loves the same dress, in the same freaking color! I love my friends for having good taste and freakishly weird timing.
