I think I might hate shopping more now.... Anyway...here are some online finds I was thinking of. Thoughts?

Shoes

Nine West Jiopa $79, 3" heels. It says "Natural Satin", but from my monitor it looks gold-ish.

i love the clearance rack

I found these Caparros heels at macy's in the clearance rack for $30. They're pretty good in terms of comfort too. (I've already tried them out at another wedding).

unimpressed w/ davids bridal

ok, so i absolutely love the ann taylor dress. i say: lets go with it! what do you guys think? it seems like it'll fit all of us the best.

i didn't like any of the dresses at davids bridal very much. the closest teal color i could find in the store is on the gross-bright side.

but i said i'd post them, so here they are:

satin strapless #8355 ($110)






satin halter #8933 ($130 or $100 online)





short satin yoryu dress ($120 or $79 online w/ limited colors)

ann taylor kate crossdye dupioni dress

front detail (most accurate color)


fits fine. style is more structural & proper than the dessy dress because of the knife pleats

Random dresses

Pictures from Mike's camera phone. Person is better looking than her photo (I hope!)

Same one that Michelle tried on several posts ago. The ocean blue is very pretty in person.

Like my non-existent hands?




Watters 2422
I think I prefer it w/o the straps

jessica mcclintock dresses

actual colors are darker than their photo, but lighter than my photo. please ignore my socks :)

52844 alda



hem falls just below my knee (i'm 5'8"). dress was big & not pinned. seems like it would be pretty flattering in the correct size (and also hide any body flaws)

53333



hem falls just above my knee, which is about 5" shorter than 52844. very deep v neck. really cute style.

Church pictures

These are Mike's photos. I haven't actually seen the church in person.
Which dress/color do you think would 'fit' better with the setting?
