My fruit-themed shower is next weekend, so of course I’m stressing about what I will wear. I purchased this blue dress after seeing it in these posts by Miss Crab Cake.
It fits great, but because I’m short (5’2″) I need to get it taken up a couple inches. I could totally wear this and getting it hemmed by next weekend shouldn’t be a problem. However, BM F, the shower host, is planning on wearing a SUPER cute apple dress she bought a couple years ago, to go along with the fruit themedness (still a word). I’m thinking if she’s gonna match, I should too, right?
So I did some fruit-themed Google searching and only found one thing: this Apple Skirt by Made With Love by Hannah.
Wouldn’t this look really cute with a cardigan or a cap sleeved shirt?
Hivem what do you think I should wear? The dress? The skirt? (I’m also open to your fruit finds!)

OMG THAT SKIRT IS PERFECT FOR YOUR SHOWER. I think you have to have it, if a bridesmaid is going to match you DEFINATELY have to match. Way to cute… you can do the apple green with a matching cardigan (oh a turquoise one would look ooober cute to match the turquoise leaves with the green skirt)
I’d wear the dress you already have — maybe you can hit TJ Maxx or somewhere to get a really pretty fruity themed pin or brooch?
I love them both! Maybe the skirt for the shower and dress for bachelorette or other pre-wedding event?
I like lreighard1’s idea. Wear the dress and then find a smaller, more simple way, like a brooch, to incorporate the theme.
Since you’ve already bought the dress, I’d wear it with cherry earring and necklace or some other fruit accessories.
i have no suggestions but this reminded me that i found the CUTEST pear fabric at jo-ann’s the other day that would make a great skirt!
Hi Miss French Bulldog! I think either outfit would look adorable for your shower! I was just doing some online shopping earlier, and I remembered seeing a few fruit-printed dresses:
I think you should go with the dress, it’s cute, you already bought it and you will wear it again. AND you mentioned you like cherries, so you could get a cute pair of cherry shoes. I just did a quick google image search and found several. These are black but you could find something in red or maybe even navy: https://www.inspiredinsanity.com.au/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=343
See if you can find the Anthropologie lemon skirt somewhere. I guess it was from a while ago though.
It looks like…

Anyhoo, I love it. I found it on sale for $10 dollars down from $90! My FI makes fun of me every time I wear it, but he thinks it’s cute. 
You could still wear the dress and say the color is “blueberry”. Hehe Or like suggested above find a cute fruit brooch or necklace or even a fun hat. That might be easier.
I love the idea of the first dress with a cherry necklace and red shoes.. It would also look really cute with banana-yellow accessories and shoes.
I love the dress. Pair it with this adorable bracelet for your fruit theme: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21568331. The buttons have a vintage feel like your dress, it has blueberries and cherries, and it’s only $12! Oh, and am I the only one a little grossed out by the worms on the skirt? I just keep staring at them…lol.
The skirts are cute, but that blue dress is so PRETTY that you MUST use it!
SWOON! That dress is too gorgeous not to wear!
And if you absolutely MUST have fruit, there’s always this: http://www.costumeandpropshop.com/detail/RB-49026.html.
Problem solved.
OMG Ladies, thank you SO much! I think I’m definitely going to go with the “blueberry” dress and find some fruit accessories
@ehh5000: I LOVE the second dress, I haven’t been able to find a cherry dress in any other color but black, thanks
@subee: That is a great bracelet. My cousins gave me one like it for Christmas, but w/o fruit that one is cuter, if that is possible!
@Trixie Jean: LOL! LOVE the sparkly fruit headdress!
@slicey19: I’m so bummed that link doesn’t work, but I’m going to Google Cherry shoes and see what I find
I think the blue dress with a tiny cherry brooch would be adorable.
I’d wear the blue dress, and just say you’re a blueberry, and then you match! Haha, maybe I’m just cheap?
You could also add a broach or something to it for that extra pop!
I love, love that dress! Definitely think cherry accessories would look fantastic with it!
There’s gotta be somehwere you can find a cherry skirt or dress. After all, It would only be fitting. but if you can’t the apple skirt is really cute. i like it in red.
I have been in love with that dress forever!!! Although, I do love the skirt as well.
I LOVE the green apple skirt (the red one too). It will look so cute at a fruit themed shower! The blue dress (blueberry-ish) could also look cute to wear while getting ready for the wedding (since photos are usually taken then). Just a thought!
Oh, wear the skirt, please! And super cute, bright, matching patent flats!
Very cute. I still think you should wear the blue dress, but since it is your shower, you want to be the one that shines, so go with the skirt!
OMG I’d never be able to pick! I love the blue dress AND the fruit skirt! Can’t wait to see what you decide on!
