I was down at Myrtle Beach for business and Adrienne had to make an emergency jewelry run to Belk. Mackenzie has her first dance next weekend and we need to go dress shopping. Ade and I finished what we were doing and on the way out, I spotted this little number… When I texted it over to Mackenzie, she wasn’t amused. Said she said is she wore “that”, she’d look like a giant disco ball.
Then she elaborated that she wanted a strapless dress to which I felt the need to tell her that no, you don’t. How many of us have worn a strapless dress only to tug and pull at it all night long?? She was relieved when I told her that I had no intention of buying her dress without her. I’m crazy but I’m not masochistic.
Am I stealing her thunder on this one? Regardless, guess what I get to do tomorrow? Yep… go to the mall and go shopping for dresses.
For my baby’s first dance.

I love comments and respond to each one. I’m all for a good debate, but, I don’t like nasty comments. If it’s Janet Jackson “nasty” I’m cool with that, but any other kind of nasty will get deleted at my discretion. ‘mkay?

Agh I’m terrified of when that starts happening to me. May the force be with you.
I think I’ll buy a flask while I’m dress shopping.

Good luck on the shopping trip! This brought back some insane memories for me and thinking….how did my mom put up with it?

You know what’s funny, Laurie? My mom never took me for that… it was always my dad. Not sure if it was a control thing or if he just liked shopping more than her. It was ALWAYS my dad when it came to shopping for anything now that I think of it. Steve wouldn’t be caught dead doing it!

Good job Mom…you just embarrassed her royally. But you know she will survive. Get that flask soon.
Thanks for sharing.
Awww I like that dress! Have fun shopping tomorrow. You must take lots of pics to show us!

What’s always funny to me is that after years of picking out clothes for my girls, my oldest suddenly doesn’t like anything I pick out. But if she goes and picks out the same thing herself, it’s cool
I kind of like that dress you saw! Hope the shopping went well.

I think you saw a cute dress that you thought she would like. No overstepping.
You really can take a flask when she starts driving. Just sayin’

I’m no fashionista, but that dress is ADORABLE!! Is that really something that would be unacceptable? Oh, I’m so out of it. My daughter is 9 so I have a few more years until I have to worry about it, but…gulp.
I think you’re a cool mom for sending a photo of cute dress! (and oh, boy…so agree with you on the strapless. I do feel it’s probably a mistake each of us has to learn once the hard way.)

You know.. in some ways, she’s a prude which is fine by me considering what I’m sure will be strutting around the gym tomorrow.
She ended up going with a conservative chevron design little number that (lucky for me) can easily be worn again in the summer.
