Last week was my Spring Break. Over the weekend I took time off from tequila shots, hopped off my mechanical bull, and went dress shopping with three of my four bridesmaids.

Sistah Chipz and I are notoriously bad shoppers. We get hungry and cranky if we have to go to more than one store. So, we decided to keep it simple and head to the J.Crew. Luckily our local J.Crew has a wedding section!

We started off with some pho (pho sho).

We didn’t have an appointment at the J.Crew. This is because I called two days prior and the sales associate told me the appointments were booked until the end of April. The heck??

But once we got there, to the lovely, scarf-clad silence and stillness of the ‘Crew, we saw a collection of bridesmaid’s dresses before us, free for the trying-on! If we had an appointment, we could have used the Big Special Day Wedding Dressing Room, but we didn’t so we grabbed armfuls of dresses and headed to the Regular People Dressing Room instead.

The Regular People Dressing Rooms were dimly lit but spacious.

Despite being appointment-less, the kind sales woman let me hold onto their wedding binder so we could compare colors and styles. We were also free to put our grubby paws all over their stacks of swatches.

Make a J.Crew pose! I instructed.

After some trying and swapping and posing, we ended up with three beautiful dresses in three beautiful colors.

The colors:

Tropical Aqua, Clover Green, and Tea Rose.

The dresses:

From L-R: The styles are Clementine, Serena, and Erica.

A day of shopping without getting hungry or cranky? A miracle! But we capped the day off with some fro-yo anyway.

Anyone go dress shopping recently? How did it go?
