This weekend we were supposed to be heading to Dayton/Cincinnati for prom dress shopping for Emily and her friend Gabby. Unfortunately, life had other plans. Emily came down with norovirus on Wednesday night so we had to stay home. She missed school Thursday and Friday but, by Saturday morning, she was feeling quite a bit better. So, we hit up some local shops so we would not have to toally abandon our plan. Plus, looking at the calendar, we really did not have a lot of other open weekends for shopping.
Our first stop was meeting Gabby and her mom at Nandel's. I was glad the girls still had an opportunity to shop together, at least a little bit. Gabby found her perfect dress in the second dress she tried on! Emily tried on several, but nothing she was in love with.
We had one last stop to try before seeing if she was ready to make a decision - Barbie's in Milton. They had loads of dresses and a couple of brands she liked so we were hopeful. She tried on quite a few more options, but there were a couple that really stood out - both blue. (probably no surprise).
