Many. Many. Dresses.

So, I went dress shopping this morning... and afternoon... and into the evening...  Haha.  It started out well, I went with a few friends, and I really liked the first two I tried on.  Every single formal event I've been to thus far, I have ALWAYS bought the first or second dress I try on.  It's been a rule, almost.  I can try on 30 others after it, but I always go back to the first or second one.  

Similar occurance this time.  Mom met me after lunch, and we decided out of the two I had picked, we liked the second, the teal one, best.  

But of course, once we got into that store, the sales lady swooped and pointed out all the other options, and I decided maybe I could find one more interesting than the teal one.......

3 hours and 50,000 dresses later, we buy the teal one.

Yup.  

Here's a picture of it though.  It's in the process of being hemmed, so I don't have a photo, but I figured I might as well draw it.

The color is as close as I can make it without the dress infront of me.  And I might have taken some artistic license, too.  Oh well.  It's close.

It's ALMOST as good as the spanish-flamenco-dancer-looking dress I considered.  Red with black, white, and gold beading, ruffled bottom with a train, contrasting fabric inside... Shame it needed too many alterations to be worth the price.  Tempting, though. THAT would have been a fun one to draw.
