Went prom dress shopping with my 17 year old ..Royal blue was our mission.
She is actually doing her Jr/Sr year all in the same year so this is her only prom.
We usually do not make a good pair when shopping for her, our tastes are NOT in sync. Today...we went to one store, didn't like anything there...either of us. I suggested SEARS...she said oh mom, that is such a low end old lady clothes store, they won't have anything... I said, well, lets just go see... (mom isn't stupid and was once 17) We ride up the escalator and right at the top was the most beautiful blue dress with puffs (Imagine the gold ball dress of Belle from Beauty and the Beast only strapless) she said, well they probably won't have my size, and it will have to be altered... first dress was the correct size I said try it on. she said okay tried it on...FITS like a GLOVE even the length and the bust...we noswad women are blessed with ample cleavage. she said but it's 169 dollars...(she didn't know dad said we could go to 250) I said that is okay... I asked if she liked it...she said yes it was perfect and just what she had in mind. I said do you want to look anywhere else...she said no, someone might take this one. I said well lets buy it then. She said but it is expensive...I said it was within budget. Get to the register SALE we got it for 149 after taxes ect... SO Shoes to go with it.. strappy little silver numbers. All in all it was a GREAT day Pictures of my beautiful daughter Last edited by DaFace; 03-15-2009 at 11:17 AM.. |

it was absolutely glorious.
She is a great kid, but she is 17 and at that age where she knows everything and we parents don't... We don't have to worry about drugs, drinking, sex ect...but we do have many clashes in ideology and she doesn't know when to back down for the good of the household peace. so I was not anticipating this shopping adventure, but it was so wonderful. We had lunch at the mall and then got orange juilious before we left and she is SOOOOOO happy |

She should have gotten a gownless evening strap.

She is taking pictures of herself in the dress and calling all her friends and her grandma and uncle. It is a joy to see her this happy |

Don't worry, life will come along and kick her in the butt. It always does.

You know, until I became a father, my main concerns were my own interests. I was probably the most egotistical, self-centered, and selfish person you might ever hope to meet. Rarely did I ever take any joy in the happiness of others - unless there was something in it for me, of course. My son changed that, though. Not long after becoming a dad, I found myself enjoying his happiness - indirectly, you know. Eventually, it changed my life and the way I viewed the world and the peeps in it. Today, I can actually find joy in the joy of others. Funny, that. FAX |
