Success!

So yesterday, I embarked upon an excursion to Target. These treks always seem to be an adventure, because I ALWAYS leave spending way more than intended, carrying way too many bags, and having spent way too much time wandering the aisles.

It has become quite a habit lately to wander through the kid's clothing section to browse through the selection of spring dresses. I usually find a few that I like, but none that are the appropriate color, style or size.

Until yesterday, that is.

I am pleased to report semi-success with finding flower girl dresses! This lovely, ethereal creation was pleading for me to take it home. And for $16.99, how could I refuse?

While they don't have this in a size even remotely close for the littler girls, my mother's fairly confident that she can figure something out. And don't let this picture deceive you --- it's the perfect color aqua in person. I actually held the invitation up to it yesterday, and they matched!

I love the "fluttery" feel of the dress. The ruffles, the fabric --- it all lends to a very summery, garden-chic look. And when I picture it on my sweet nieces, all armed with their flower wands with streaming ribbons, how can I not smile?

Now if only we'll be as successful with finding shoes...
