I picked up the paper and saw that the movie “Confessions of a Shopaholic” is running in the theatres and decided to make a confession of my own. As a woman who honestly never dreamed of her wedding (even after all the weddings she’s been to), and especially not the gown, I absolutely LOVE trying on dresses. This is my reasoning: if I’m dropping over a few hundred dollars for a dress that is worn for only a couple of hours, then damnit, I better enjoy the experience of shopping for one. So, I book my appointments or show up spontaneously, try on a few dresses with veils to feel beautiful, possibly fib about my interest in them, do the walk and turn…accompanied with some ooohs and aaaahs, and then move on. Is this horrible?
I think I’ve narrowed down my choices to three, which consistently remain my favorite, but until I order “the one”, maybe I’ll try on a few more
SIDE NOTE – does anyone else read the series “Shopaholic” because I absolutely find it hilarious how she can justify every expense.










I’m glad you are enjoying the shopping. I didn’t have very much fun at all, but, then, I did most of my shopping by myself because all my bridesmaids were far far away. Anyways, if you’d like a second opinion, I’m happy to help you shop. Good luck!
