In About Nine Years…
In about nine years I’ll be looking for dresses for dances, and entering the dating world with Emma… When we were back at my Mom’s for the wedding, she and Emma dug my wedding dress out of the closet, (I keep it there because we move so darn much and the train is long and bulky) and Emma just had to try it on. She looked so pretty in it and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed seeing her feeling beautiful in my dress. It was a moment where I thought, “wouldn’t it be fun if she wore this for her wedding too?” Then I snapped back to reality and thought by then the styles will have changed a few more times and I don’t think she’ll be interested. I can just hear Hunter now quoting, “I like your sleeves, they’re real big.”
With that day in the back of my mind I was looking through the website, Beautifully Modest and came across this dress that I just loved! If Emma, Hannah, or Sabrina were old enough and wanting it I would be seriously tempted. The price is a bit out of control, but I’m dreaming here… I love the belt, the colors, the flowing skirt and all of the sequins, so pretty and girly! They also have a wedding dress in this pattern, which I think is gorgeous too. I’ll file it away, and maybe in nine years I’ll be back!
Emma you looked beautiful in the wedding dress. I am NOT ready to be old enough for them to date. The dress is so beautiful I love the color. I think it will be so much fun shopping for them. I can wait but will enjoy it when it gets here.
Scary and fun to think about that stuff…she did look really cute in it.
I love the pic of Emma wearing your dress, it’s so cute, what a great picture! I know what you mean, my kids are growing up faster than I am ready for. And Prom dresses are an arm and a leg, how will we manage with three girls? At least we could re-sell on ebay and maybe recoup enough of the cost to off set the full price paid, and have it go toward the next dress. Wow, I can see it’s going to be very expensive come High School! Love the dresses too though, you have beautiful taste Amy!
I think the same thing about my wedding dress and when my girl(s) are older. I have my dress as an option for them if that is what they want.
With only my boys I really never got to be involved with this kind of girlie thinking. It is very fun for me to enjoy it all through you. I thought the orange dress was killer beautiful and with Emma’s beautiful skin it would be striking indeed. The wedding dress try-on was amazing, just shows how quickly the children grow up. Make everyday with them count!
