Caiti is home and sneak preview of "the dress"!

Caiti came home on Friday night for a week long reading break and we are so happy to have her home. She is on a "break" with James at the moment but still wearing his Xmas ring and they are still talking but we shall see...he needs some space at the moment and maybe it will still work out.
Today was the day to take Chrissy out to look for a dress...she has really been reluctant to go to her Grad event...so many reasons why she does not want to go and alot of it is fear of ridicule, mean so-called friends. We wanted Caiti to come home to get her wanting to find the dream dress and for her to be convinced that she cannot miss this momentous event now that we know that she is graduating. She got an invite from Genelle and Lawrence to join them for photos and such, and it has helped her slowly warm up to the idea that she can go to Grad an enjoy it.

So, we borrowed the black Honda and the three of us took off for the day to find that dress. And we did...we told Chrissy that she has to LOVE the dress....and it may not be not be what the other girls are wearing...it may not be what is currently trendy but it should reflect her and what she wants. It has to be what she really wants for this evening. After a great deal of looking...we found it. It is not what the other girls might be wearing...it is vibrant...it is bold and we want her to look spectacular and shine for herself as herself.

So I am sneaking a preview of the bodice of the dress...it is spectacular...well, Caiti and I think it is amazingly awesome and it suits her. The sequins on it is dazzling...little flowers in a very intricate pattern...it really is eye-catching and stunning. Caiti who has some impeccable fashion sense confirmed that it was suitable and it may even be slimming for Chrissy to wear a dress that will give her some shape. We are relieved that this has to cement her decision to go...jeez it better as I paid a huge deposit on the thing. Now she can think about going and accessories and such. Whew!!! Please let this be a good experience for her.
