went shopping .. got a pretty dress for the weddings.
Margy came over in the morning and we were all set for a big shopping adventure.
Andrew and Allira are getting married in a couple weeks and then a couple weeks after that my cousin Allison is marrying her fella Justin.. the second wedding is listed as formal.. so we were off to final a fabulous outfit for both..
before Margy came over I rummaged through the shoe boxes again to check out the situation before we hit she shops.. I have a couple of shoes that are just beautiful but are too small.. i hva been unable to throw them away whenever i do a de clutter of the cupboard... i donated a whole lot of black shoes mosly for work suit type stuff a while ago...
so anyway Margy has one shoe size below me, so she tried them on and decoded that they fit and was very happy to take them home to her collection.. I feel much better giving them to margy.. she will definately wear them.. and if not she has a bunch of friends and family with big feet to share with..
so we hadn't even left the house and Margy has a ocllection of shoes.. hoorah!
we went toff to myer at Knox to have a look around.. they have a much bigger shipping complex than ringwood and its not as exclusive as at chadstone.. anyway wefound so many black things, stretchy things, and summer dresses, but not really anything for a formal wedding in a nice colour.. I liek colour.. I really can;t see the point of wearing black.. or grey and I'm really not much of a white person.. so after a bit we headed out of the myer and into a few other stores... we really hit the jackpot as Noni B... Dresses galore, heaps of sizes, colour and designs.. very very exciting.. I tried on heaps .. heaps and heaps.. the staff were super helpful .. Margy had been my official "put dresses back on hangers helper" till we got these ladies helping..
So there was a dark blue number with a starry brooch and a red number with glitter and a green number that I got stuck in cos it was had cross over strappy things.. and there was a lurid pale purple thing that ths shop people kept telling me thy liked but was blah.. so in the end I got a strapless lightish blue/aqua iwth bead work, kind of like vines and a gathered stomach bit and fabulous long flowing fullness.. As you can tell I am not very good at describing things... like waists and stlyes and lengths and rouching ... hhmm i think I know what rouching is.. oohh well..
so I will be feeling very beautiful for this do and the shoes I have will be right and hhmm hair.. I will hae to do somethignn with hair..

Oooh it sounds beautimous! I don't even know what rouching is. Rouching. Hmm. Well it sounds lovely anyway. :) Dress shopping is exciting, especially when you have the choice. Did you find shoes to match?
