I went to SEVEN stores plus window shopped many more today WITH Lexi to find a dress for Wednesday night. I even called D to see what she had on hand that I might borrow. Unfortunately it sounded like her stuff was still in storage.
I’ve determined I’m going to have to go to the “big city” of Charlotte to a few favorite stores to get something. And I have one day to do that. I was supposed to go to Scott’s shift party with some other wives since the guys are working tomorrow night but I think I’m going to skip it and go shopping.
So here’s my dilemma. None of the styles this year look good on me. It’s either a cute tunic short dress/long shirt with leggings type thing like this one (don’t really like the sleeves on this one but it’s the first picture I found that had the type of thing I’m talking about) :
That type of dress just hangs on me and just makes me look anorexic or something. The other style is the 50s style with a skirt that goes straight out and is poofy sort of like this one I tried:
While cute, both looked HORRIBLE on me. I’m hoping to find something tomorrow at Forever 21, Express or Ann Taylor I’d like to check at the mall that takes a little more effort to get to.
The other thing is while I probably could have gotten away with a few dresses I saw at Kohl’s, I’m technically a chaperone at this one and don’t want to go the too-sexy route.
We’re now less than 48 hours though and if nothing else, I may have to resort to my red satin shirt from last year and good ‘ol black skirt.
