My Daughter Knows Best

I have been looking for a dress for Carter and Claire’s wedding in Maine in June. Maine in June can be cold or hot. The wedding is going to be outside if the weather is nice or on the porch if we need cover. Either way I am going to be outside so I need to be ready for what ever the weather brings.

It is going to be small and intimate. It is not going to be overly formal, so the normal black tie mother of the bride dresses are too dressy. But summer resort wear is not dressy enough. I know what Carter and Claire are wearing and I want to be in the color palette they have in mind. I hate my upper arms so I want them covered.

All this makes finding just the right dress hard.

I ordered a dress that could be for the first night, or the wedding, but I think it is not formal enough for the wedding. So I keep looking. I sent Carter a picture of a dress I thought I liked. She thought it was too busy. She was right.

I am so glad I sent her that dress. It got her on the case. In less than 24 hours she sent me a photo of the perfect dress. It is on pre-order, with delivery expectations at the end of April. That is perfect. So I went ahead and ordered it.

Now the only problem is going to be finding the right shoes. I might need to ask Carter.
