That 'it" Feeling

    Now that the holidays are over, Mom and I decided to do some dress shopping! We went on Tuesday, just the two of us. Our first stop was at Bella's in the Patton Creek Mall. I didn't like the feel of the store. They only had sample dresses, so no dress fit me. I have a hard time imagining in my head the same dress, with a different color, size, material, etc. I have to try on the exact dress I'm going to buy to feel good about it. After we left there, we had lunch and went to David's Bridal. They signed me in, and I had my own personal lady to help me. She gave me a different veil for every dress I tried on, and made it feel real. They were all in my size, and I really had a great experience there. I found four dresses that I LIKED, but I never had that "it" feeling. I decided to go again the next day with my sister, Brooke, and Haley. Their opinions are important to me, and I also wanted to look at bridesmaid dresses with them! 
    The first place we went to was Bridal Bliss in Birmingham. It was SUPER sketchy! The building looked like a tiny, run-down house. We walked in, and didn't see or hear anyone. We were already a little spooked when we saw a lady sitting at a table eating cereal. We said hi but she didn't hear us, or ignored us! A man walked out and asked what we were looking for. HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY SHOES ON!!! The dresses were expensive and tightly packed on the rods. Then another man, his "partner" walked out and asked if he could help. On top of all this the place smelled like a funeral home. It was extremely creepy! We got the heck outta dodge! Just up the street was a place called Bridesmaid Inc. I was very disappointed, they didn't have two of any same dress, so the girls couldn't try them on to see how it fit each. They didn't have sizes for everyone, and didn't seem to have my color available in any dress. After leaving there I was feeling super down. We went to David's Bridal, I wanted them to see my dresses. After trying each dress on again, I felt differently about each one. There is one I really like. I'm nervous though because everyone says you have this feeling when you try on the right dress. I haven't felt that feeling yet. 
     I decided to give up and look at bridesmaids dresses. I like chiffon and the girls like satin! So we looked at both and we found two that everyone likes, but  I have one more bridesmaid to talk to! But the only problem is they are divided on which they like. Also one dress has the perfect junior bridesmaid dress and the other doesn't. Ultimately its my decision, so I still have some thinking to do! I'm just glad we got SOMETHING accomplished. But the hunt for the perfect dress continues...
