This past weekend I was up in the Casper/Glenrock area and decided to take the opportunity to help the Hot Dog Step(sister)s find their junior BM dresses! We decided to take the easy route and hit the mall.

Going in, I wanted to make sure that my Steps picked a dress that they both loved and would feel good in. I didn’t care if it was a print or solid, strapless or halter, long or short. As long as it went well with the color(ish) palette, it was an option!

Up first, JC Penney.

Meet LitteStep.

And SassyStep.

This was one of my faves. It’s actually a dark brown, not black. But the girls weren’t crazy about the top. It had some weird detailing that these pics don’t show. NEXT!

This one had the awesome halter that they both loved, but it had a little too much of a “beachy” feel to it. Supa’ cute, but not quite rustic, country chic.

I loved the green/yellow/brown in this dress, but none of us were crazy about the neckline.

All three of us LOVED this dress. Buuut the “brown” was really too dark for what I wanted…

We stopped for sustenance in the form of Hot Dog on a Stick (bwahahah. That is SICK, I tell you!) and some Power Smoothies before moving on to the next store. When we were sufficiently stuffed, it was on to Macy’s, Dillard’s, and Sears. We didn’t find anything even photo-worthy. I was actually disappointed because I thought Macy’s or Dillard’s would be sure bets. All they ended up having was very matronly dresses OR prom dresses. FAIL.

So we wandered over to AE. I really didn’t expect to find anything here, but immediately we found a couple options.

I really did NOT like this one on the hanger. As soon as they put it on, though, my opinion changed. My photog skills basically suck, so you can’t see it, but these have a very dainty floral pattern in shades of pink, green and brown. Plus, they loved it.

They tried on this next. I love the brown braided belt and the cute ruffles. Alas, it was not very flattering and was 86ed.

By the time they’d tried this dress on, we were pretty shopped-out. It was time for a decision! After looking through the pics (and a vanilla chai latte each), we decided on the dainty floral AE dress!

I’m pretty excited to see how they accessorize, since I gave them the freedom to choose their own shoes and jewelry. I really want their personality to shine!

Overall, our shopping day was a WIN, though maybe not on the diet-side of things

Are you having junior bridesmaids? Or how are you including your step-siblings, if you have any?
