The Easter Dress Dilemma!

Every year since I was a little girl, my mom would buy my sister and I an Easter dress to wear to church. Well...a few weeks before Easter, my mom came and picked me up and took me to the Galleria to shop. After 3 hours of shopping, I had no Easter dress. Mission failed! Oh well...I thought. I will just wear something I already have.

Now, fast forward to the Saturday before Easter. I was laying on the couch (I had been sick with the worst sore throat and headache for the past few days).....and I decided I would run up to Memorial City Mall real quick and see I could find a dress for Easter. I went by White House Black Market (one of my absolute favs!) and sure enough the Lord had gone before me as I found the perfect dress! Glory! I was feeling too yucky to go crusing up and down the mall trying on dresses. I bought it, and headed back home to the couch.

When I walked in the door, my roommate was back from her shopping excursion with her sister. Her sister needed a graduation dress, and Danielle decided she needed an Easter dress. After hearing about her sister's dress from Anthropologie, I asked Danielle where she got her Easter dress. "White House Black Market". My stomach dropped. "Uhhh...me too!", "Is it white, tank sleeves, with black pattern?" Her sister started to giggle. Danielle got up and headed toward her room, she came back out with MY EASTER DRESS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! hahaha. Of all the dresses, in all the stores, in all the mall....she had to walk into my store and get my dress. hahaha. What can I say, she has good taste! =) I decided that I would attend the early service, and she can go to the later service as she had planned to. Whew. Problem solved.

Well...I ended up sleeping in on Sunday (because of the medicine I was taking at night) so I HAD to go to the later service. Uh oh! Danielle didn't care if we both wore the same dress, but since we were walking over to church together, sitting together, and going to lunch together. I vetoed that idea. I dug into my closet and found another cute dress (from White and Black of course!). I had thought it was a strapless dress and didn't feel comfortable wearing that to church, but quickly discovered it had detachable straps! YES! The Lord is good!

Danielle and I ended up looking so cute in our Easter dresses. We had to take a picture - it now sits framed in the living room! =)

Next year, we will have to communicate better beforehand! hahaha.
