First Communion - The Dress!

Good Morning!  I have promised that I would post a few pictures from First Communion - what I wore and, more importantly, what my daughter wore.  Unfortunately, the photos we have are terrible ... and I do mean terrible.  We were in such a rush all morning and thought we would take pictures in the Church but it was too dark.  We have one last First Communion event this week,  and I am hoping for some better photos.


My daughter was picky about her dress; she is tall and thin and did not want a "poofy" dress, but wanted one that still had some "twirl" to it!  I ordered 8 dresses to the house from three websites, and she tried them all on, one by one, twirling in front of the mirror.  She eventually narrowed it down to this one, purchased from PinkPrincess.com. 

Here is a not so good photo of her in it:

I had a lot of trouble deciding what to wear.  I never found a dress that I liked and so I put this together the morning of the event.  I am wearing the Daisy skirt by Talbots, a Talbots ruffle tank, Merona sweater and J. Crew belt.  

What you cannot see in that terrible photo are my shoes ... I LOVE them!  Jessica Simpson Kendal bought at Nordstrom on sale.  These shoes are a steal at $60 and go with everything!  I usually wear a 6 but had to size down to a 5.5.

Will post better pictures soon (I promise, mom!)


Thanks for stopping by!
