More, More, More...: Too bad so sad for me.

I decided to get serious with the dress situation yesterday. I searched every possible web site I could think of (except gilt.com - you have to be a member).

All of the dresses started to look a like.

I went online to Neiman Marcus to order this dress...

they only had it in a size 2 and while at one point in my life (before children) I was a size 2 and would love to be a size 2 again - I am realistic and know that I will never again be that size. So that dress is off the table. Too bad so sad - it was the most expensive of the 3 anyway. On to the next!

I ordered this dress from BlueFly and was pleased to receive their 10% off Oscar's Special as well as an additional $30 off as a new customer. I got this Vera Wang dress at 51% off the original price - well, you just gotta love that, don't you?

I figure I have plenty of time to get the dress try it on and return it if it's not "the one."

I will also be taking a trip to the DC Nordstroms (the Annapolis store does not have the selection) in the near-ish future to try the Calvin Klein dress on - which happens to be the least expensive of the 3 original dresses. I decided I am not going to hold myself to the after 6PM long dress only rule and go with the dress that compliments me the best.

I saw a number of great short(er) dresses that I think will work for me so if I find nothing at the store I'll start ordering until I find the one. I have time on my side by starting now.

We are planning to stay at the Waldorf unless someone has a better recommendation in the Park Avenue and 50th Street area...? The reception address is 109 E 50th Street.

Here are just a few of the other dresses that I've liked in my search...
