I have decided to sell the sample dress I JUST bought on Friday. I looked at the pictures of my original dress over and over again. And, it just looks more bridal on me, so I decided to wear that for my ceremony. My sweetheart and I decided, if I was going to switch into a reception dress, I would show the pictures of the reception dress, but still keep the wedding gown a secret. The reaction I got was "um. that's a wedding dress Christina. I mean, its beautiful... but, when we talked before about a reception dress, you said you were going for a colorful, sparkly PARTY dress".
Of course, this was NOT the reaction I was hoping for. And, in retrospect... that is absolutely true. I wanted something bright & colorful, and now I have two wedding gowns. I just got ridicuously overwhelmd by the SAMPLE SALE headline in my email. So, this is what I have decided. I'm selling the mermaid dress. And, if I can sell it soon, I'm buying THIS:

So... that's the plan. Now, I gotta sell this damn dress. LOL I promise. NO more dress drama.
thanks September brides for all of the amazing support. You all ROCK
