Anyway, who would have thought that it would be so difficult finding a dress with pink and brown on it...together?!?!? I've seen stuff everywhere, it seemed, with pink and brown, addorable stuff, too. I envisioned a brown dress with pink polkadots, pink ribbon at the empire waist, maybe a brown shrug. Adorable, right?? Yah, right. I haven't been to the mall in ages.
Apparently, only in my dreams. And, if I could even figure out a sewing machine, I considered for a very small moment to make them my dang self! Everywhere was black and pink, black and red, cream and every other color, even brown and blue! No luck with brown and pink, together.
Then, to what do my wondering eyes should appear? A brown taffita A-line with an empire waist, pink and champanine ribbon sewed all around it. I didn't matter that I had to buy everyone of them a larger size. I fell in love. These are perfect. Not quite what I had in mind... but better! For the happy ending, I found fuzzy shruggs on clearance for the babys and a shimmery shrug for Eliza. What a day! I was pooped, but very gratified.
My reason for this post: besides my frustration, I became so very exceited to actually buy something for me, in a smaller size!! I know what I want, and I'm determined to get it in a smaller size in one month. If I can't find it, I will definatly make it (or my Grandma will help me a great deal!)!
So help me if my bro's fiance changes her colors! :)

Sooo cute. I have decided the moment you are looking for a particular color of something, they don't make it. Last year we tried and tried to find a navy blue dress for K, with no luck (thank goodness for sister-in-laws who saved dresses). Now, there are blue dresses everywhere.
oooo I'm loving the dresses!!! Adorable. I remember when I got married my colors were lavender and yellow and I couldn't find ANYTHING in those colors for the bridesmaids or flowergirls. I totally settled on dresses I didn't love but that kinda worked. Well wouldn't you kn that the very next year ALL i saw on the racks were lavender and yellow!! Aargh! I so love the dresses you picked out though. Very classy! :)
Way to hang in there until you left triumphant! I remember when shopping used to be fun, what happened?
AWWW, what great pictures and dresses. Is yours the same? When will we get to see yours?

I haven't found my outfit yet, but I know what I want. That's why, if I can't find what I want, my very sweet Grandmother will be helping me make it. :) But as soon as I have it, I'll post a pic.
Those are beautiful dresses and the girls look amazing! We are so going to miss you guys when you move! I'm glad you are coming back in a couple years though...Hopefully we will still be in the ward.
