OT ... Can I get your opinion?

Ooooh Barb I like the eggplant one!  It's sizzling!!! (but not too much since you're the mother of the groom)..  Very nice! Sheryl

Thanks Sheryl!

Both look awesome!   I have to tell you how very much I enjoyed our "goodwill hunting" escapade on Saturday.  I haven't had that much fun in FOREVER!   I have hardly stopped smiling since. No matter which dress you choose, Barb, you are going to be terrific in it.  Your personality just shines through. Smooches!

Hey Kim,

I truly enjoyed our outing too. We'll have to do it and others soon.

Thanks so much for comraderie and the compliments!

Barb

I love both dresses and I think you have it figured out perfectly. The brown for the ceremony and the eggplant for the celebration (reception). You look absolutely beautiful in both dresses and should be able to find a few other excuses to wear them again I hope.

Thanks Ann ... and I'd love to find a few more excuses to get all dressed up!

Barb

Hey Barb: You are one HOT MAMA!!!  I love them both and my vote was for the eggplant until I read your idea to wear both.   That is even better!!   Can't believe the wonderful finds at Goodwill...that is awesome and your reward for being a slim minnie now!!  You are beautiful inside and out and I can't wait to make your meeting next month so i can really get to know y'all. Love ya, Pam

Pam,

First of all, I'm looking forward to meeting you too ... as I know, are so many others.

While we did go "goodwill hunting", I must say that I use that term somewhat loosely, because I say that if I'm going to second-hand, thrift, consignment or goodwill stores. I found the brown suit at a very upscale consignment boutique and while it was still a very good price for what I got, it certainly wasn't a goodwill sort of price. That said, I'm delighted with my finds.

Thanks so much for the compliments and I look forward to meeting you soon,

Barb

It sounds like you have made your decision, so I'll just say I like the eggplant more. The brown one is pretty, but I just love the other... What are the brides choice of colors? You will have a blast and you will look awesome doing it!  Be sure to take lots of pictures!

thanks melinda!

I'll post photos after the wedding in sept.
