... well, of my year, anyway. My best friend is getting married this June. I'm so excited about that!! Planning her bachelorette party as we speak and having the date marked and highlighted on my calender!
Due to circumstances, I won't be her maid of honor in the sense of co-signing the marriage certificate, but I will be MoH in all other meanings of the word. So, I need a special dress for the big day.
I already have a really nice, festive cocktail dress that is totally appropriate for the occasion. It's purple satin with thin, crossed straps and comes with a sash and a pin. I had it made when I was in Thailand with her in 09, so she's already seen me in it. Also, I've worn it to a formal, in a photoshoot AND to my cousin's wedding. So it's not new anymore.

Today, I happened to be in the city and decided to just look around a bit. Can you imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon not 1 but TWO dresses that would totally work for a wedding? Yeah, me neither, but I did. The problem is, I am now unable to decide which way to go. Wear the dress that was custom made for my body but BFF has already seen me in it? Or buy something new?
This dress costs €220 ($310). It's a brown/purplish V-neck cocktail dress with a tule and velvety/lace overlay and a black satin sash. Click here if you can't see the pic above.
This one is €90 ($127). Strapless, with a laced up back. The top is a pink satin-y fabric covered with black lace. Then a pink sash-style waist with a pink/blue/black chiffon flower. The skirt consists of layers of blue, pink and black chiffon. Click here if you can't see the pic above.
Also, I'm finding it difficult to decide what to do with my hair this spring. Should I stay a bright redhead? Get more Bella-like hair like I had last year? Or venture back to 2004/2006 with darkbrown/near black hair?
Help a camper out in deciding!!
By the way, don't mind the top I'm wearing underneath the dresses. I'm still covered in vaseline from my latest tattoo session and I didn't want to get the dresses dirty.
Oh, and it's still FFFA, right?
