The Color Purple Lapis

Welcome to today's fashion show.

Our topic this week is Bridal Party Attire for Andrew and Debbie's wedding.

First down the runway is Abby, showing off the junior bridesmaid dress that will be worn by Elizabeth and I. Yes, I am wearing a junior bridesmaids dress even though I am not a junior bridesmaid.

Next up is Carrie, modeling the dress to be worn by Meagan, the maid of honor.

I was originally going to wear the same dress as Meagan but when I tried it on, it just didn't fit right. The V neck was too low and I'm not the right size and build for it. I think the junior bridesmaid's dress is pretty, but I wanted to be wearing a dress that matched Meagan's. We are both, after all, regular bridesmaids. I also was very concerned about looking too much like a little girl in the JB dress. It didn't really help matters that the only picture I'd seen of someone wearing it is a girl{our model, "Abby"}about 12 years old! I tried both dresses on at least 5 times each before deciding on the same dress as Elizabeth. I want to be wearing something comfortable and, since there are only three girls in the wedding, I think its ok for the maid of honor to be wearing something different. Plus, I doubt that when the day comes and my hair is up, I'll look like a little girl. {At least, I hope not!}

Grandma asked me to go shopping with her tomorrow to find a dress she can wear to the wedding. Yay for shopping trips with Grandma!!
