Today, as I was browsing through my favorite indie dress website, I found this dress:

Then I repeatedly hit my head on the coffee table while wishing I had seen this dress before I had found my BM's dresses.
For a fleeting moment, I considered buying 7 of these and gifting them to my girls. I hoped that they would think, "Two dresses for the price of one?! Sweet!" Then I considered how absolutely ridiculous that was and decided that I'd just try to avoid ModCloth until that dress was off of the first page. Or sold out.
I will continue rationalizing the situation by realizing that this dress is $25 more expensive than the other dress. It would also not be as forgiving if one of my BM's gained a bit of weight or got pregnant. It's less re-wearable. It may look cheap in real life. It may photograph white. It may be hoochie mama short. Oh, and there are people dying in Africa right now. And sad puppies in those Sarah McLachlan commercials.
And that's it. I have mourned the gorgeous apparel, and now I will just cry about sad puppies and people in third world countries while feeling selfish that I let this dress saga rival these problems in my mind. Le Sigh.
Anyone else think of the sad puppies on that super depressing commercial when wedding details turn you into a selfish self-absorbed person?

I wanted to change the bridesmaid dresses soo many times... but I realized the best thing I could do for myself was to accept decisions once they were made and move on to the next thing. Don't over think the details...you'll drive yourself mad!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love Modcloth. I hope to get my rehearsal dress from there.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, the sad puppy commercials can actually drive me to tears if I'm already in a sullen enough mood.
Third of all, don't second guess yourself! Instead of focusing on something that is already set in stone, focus on the choices you have ahead of you!!! (Although I totally understand your sadness, because that dress is gorgeous)
I am slowly realizing that I just need to go with my gut and not second guess myself. And yeah, when those puppy commercials come on my day suddenly comes horrible. Why do they always have to come on during Real Housewives?!
