Dress Shoppin'
Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at 7:00AM Wedding season is coming up, and guess what? You can't go to weddings nekkid. It outshines the bride, which is really rude. SO, I spent some time tonight looking for a dress to wear to a few of the weddings I'm planning to attend this summer. So far, my folder on my computer has these dresses...
From Anthropologie for $158...
From Nordstrom, also for $158...
And from JCrew, at $250 (which is really just too much money.)
I think dress shopping might be my most hated shopping project! Out of the many online stores I checked out... these were the only three I liked, and I really want to keep the price at $150 or less. Argh. My perfect "event" dress would be just above knee-length, creative, with at least cap sleeves, defined waist, and covers my boobs so I don't feel like a 'ho. Is that too much to ask? :)

Duuuuuude, check out ModCloth. They always have the cutest stuff, for cheap!
I like that J Crew dress but the model looks like she's just been beaten up or otherwise traumatized!
I'm planning to hit up Anthropologie for a dress that will probably make multiple wedding appearances this summer! I love all of your choices :)
Ya know, you can always borrow the navy silk dress from Colo's Closet! ;) While it's not "creative," it certainly fits the other criteria...
Enter Shabby Apple (http://www.shabbyapple.com/)
I do believe that all the dresses sold by them meet your requirements. I don't know if they're formal enough, or your style but the cover all the necessary ahem pieces :)
Tulle (http://www.tulle4us.com/) has cute things, but prehaps not dressy enough for weddings (depends of course). Don't forget the power that is TJ Maxx and Marshall's-no one has to know where your Calvin Kline dress came from :)
