Weddingbee

Last weekend, I took my mom out for a day at Nordstrom and whatever else the mall had to offer. I’ll have none of that matronly dress business for my mom! Rewearable cocktail dresses here we come. She’s the only peron I know who perhaps has more energy than me to do this - although you readers best know me as the bee who could hit up three or four bridal shops in one day and try on every single non-ballgown dress in each store (and then do it all over again later that week at new stores). 

I was incapacitated the rest of the night and hit the pillow at 8 o’clock with a migraine.  She, on the other hand, jumped in and out of dozens of dresses, then came back to my house to cook a roast and whip up dinner, then weeded my huge garden in under half an hour at dusk - this weeding task would have taken me the entire weekend.

I love this neckline on her. She has it in her head that you need cleavage pull off anything plunging or v-neck but I don’t think so! (better not since my dress has that neckline!)

The photo at left my mom is complaining the belt takes up half her body, middle is demonstrative that she needs petite sizes, and right, that strapless aint half bad!

This dress below was the most flattering on her, and made me warm up to the idea of using it as a bridesmaid dress, so I ordered it in four sizes yesterday….more on that note later…

My mom is really taken by this trapeze dress - because it’s so billowy she can fit into a size 2 or a size 0. I am all over twiggy-inspired dresses, but my only concern is she’ll look at photos from my wedding ten years from now and say, “what was I thinking?!”

Any other moms out there going for something other than the taffeta two piece jacket/dress?
