I have a wedding to go to in May. Yay. Free cake!
So I need to find a dress to wear to this shindig. It is in England (so yeah there will be hats) and my sister inlaw is leaning toward a lot of blue and sweet peas for her wedding colors and all that jazz. There will be the ceremony and then a tea party thingie afterward (cakes, small sandwiches, champagne) and then that evening there is the hog roast and band and drunk people of North Devon and Cornwall. (you know, people who say, mah lovah without irony.) I may just change into something slightly more appropriate for eating pig and spilling beer when it is nighttime. Plus it is next to the ocean -so it gets cold.

I am looking at dresses.
There is this dress which screams, "I am going to a wedding in England. I better wear a hat." It is rather feminine and I kind of dig the print. If you look closely it looks sort of water-colory and there are splatters of paint. Which would be good for hiding crumbs.

This is kind of neat but doesn't wow me. It looks as if it is veering into Lily Pulitzer territory.

This dress looks like something my Mom wore back in the 70s. She will probably comment, "OMG I made that dress." The upside -I wouldn't have to shave my legs. I could just throw a cardigan over it or something.

I dig the serious color of this one. HELLO IT IS BRIGHT. It will definitely say, "Why look there is the uppity American that married into the family.

Hey it is the fifties.

Anyhow these are mostly here to remind me of what to sort of aim for. I know what I want something with some sleeves or straps. I am not interested in hiking up my dress all day long. I need to be able to wrangle children and yet look nice.
I may have to kidnap a friend to go dress shopping.

Oh god, was that bit about blue at the very beginning in there before? You can take comfort in the fact that your journal was the first thing I read this morning. Sorry for being sloppy.
