And the race is ON...

As the day for the Jr Prom was quickly approaching we were off to find the "PERFECT" dress. As many of you know, there aren't very many places "ANYWHERE" to purchase a modest dress of any kind let alone a Prom dress, but we were determined to find one... so off we set to begin our search. We decided that it would probably take us 2 days (at least) to complete our task (which also meant that we would just "have to" spend the night at Dayna's and then we would "have to" go and eat someplace fun with her and then we would "have to" have a little RR with her...which means more shopping! OH DARN, hurt us some more!). The first place we started to look was Dillards, because they are known for having modest Prom dresses. After finding a few favorites and trying on many, many "flops"...we weren't overly impressed with the selection that Dillards

had to offer this year. We really liked the black and white one. It was very flattering and so pretty. We loved the color of the deep purple one, but she wanted a little more modest sleeve on her dress (I am proud of her!). The white one was "okay" but nothing that jumped out and said "YES".  The teal one we didn't like the shape or color or much about it. So... we asked them if they would hold our favorites for a few hours, while we continued our search (we didn't tell that we were searching for more, but I think they figured). We went to Alyssa's Bridal next. At first I was really disappointed with their selection or their prices, but didn't realize they had another

 section of dresses that were back where you didn't see, in another room. We roamed around for a minute and then saw a huge rack of mark down's...like fly to fly paper we were THERE...checking out the beautiful dresses. We grabbed several for her to try on. They were all so pretty and looked alot more elaborate and fancy compared to the other ones that we had seen. So off to the dressing room she went once again, to try on more dresses. AND THEN she came out in this beautiful sequin beaded and lace dress..Ahhh....I knew this one was by far my favorite...she looked stunning. The color looked gorgeous on her. She just glowed! She debated with it and one other one, BUT... the winner was....(to be continued)
