I took the girls to Tyson's last night.....each needs a dress for next Saturday that they will also wear for formal night on the cruise......I will probably wear a black hefty trash bag, btw.
Anyway, we go to the first store where they like to shop, this very reasonably priced, chic-y boutique-like place called Francesca's. They don't find any dresses there. I am really disappointed because I can buy a dress at Francesca's for under $50.
We go to Nordstrom's.........good grief.........I shop in nordstrom's a lot, but usually for dressy dresses I am only in there once a year. (Are you bored yet?)
Madison tries on no less than eight dresses.........finds one she loves for $275. I tell her to have them hold it, and we can come back for it, but I would like to look some more. Actually, I would rather have a lobotomy without anesthesia than look more, but I don't really care for the dress she has decided she likes.
Eden, on the other hand, falls in love with one of Madison's rejects (which actually was the dress I adored) and it fits her, and she likes it, so we take it. It is $198. Yes, that is right. Eden, who typically is a little bitch, is totally blown away by the price and that I am going to spend that much. She is humbled........for 3 or 4 seconds. I enjoy the respite from 'I am a teenage bitch'-land.
We go to Bloomingdales. My daughter Courtney's layette came from Bloomingdales. Eden has never been in Bloomingdales......it is as if I have walked her into St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. She is reverent, hushed, wide-eyed........I am impressed. Eden does not often impress me......favorably that is.
Madison tries on dresses. We have, again as we did in Nordstrom's, a very nice salesperson. Dress one, I like but do not love. Madison loves. Dress two I adore. Madison is meh about it. After much discussion, we take dress number one.......$188.
Exhausted does not even begin to describe how I feel.

And, who the freak makes enough money to afford these prices?
