To LBD or not to LBD

Before I decided not to go to the prom with The Lawyer, I ordered an assload of dresses from Nordstrom because I couldn't find anything I liked in person.

I knew I wanted to wear black (perhaps because I had already planned to be in mourning that nite, had I gone). And I didn't have any back-up wedding dresses to choose from because nearly all of the dresses I've worn to weddings lately have been bridesmaid dresses.

But by the time I decided not to go to prom, it was too late to cancel my order. So I got the package at work last Friday and tried on the dresses over the weekend.

Now I'm thinking of keeping this one, since it fits me really well and I know I have at least two weddings to go to next year that I actually get to pick my own dress for! (Read: I'm not a bridesmaid!)



But I'm a tad torn. Does the organza and/or bubble skirt make it a little too trendy? Will it be completely out of style by next summer? (If you want to get a closer look at the dress, click here.)

A girl can never have too many LBDs, can she? Or maybe this just means I actually need to do something fun/out on the town this year for New Year's Eve so I can wear it and be certain it won't be out of style yet. (More about how much I hate NYE in a future post.)

What do you think?

Hey! I like the dress! Very trendy. It kind of looks like the bridesmaid dresses I am thinking about going with! That would be great...you all can wear black dresses so it is LIKE you are in the wedding! HA! But seriously, I love it...It looks like you! OH...I guess I shouldn't assume your thiking of wearing this to my wedding! But if you are, I love it!

Pitch the dress...the model even looks like crap in that thing...and black may never go out of style, but that dress looks likes someones hidding the bump.

I wouldn't listen to anyone named tubetop...she isn't your friend if she's telling you to buy that rag.

Tube top - yours is obvi one of the weddings I was thinking about. But I may want to wear something fun and colorful for your big day.

Alexa - thanks!

Blogker - re: hiding a bump -- that's why I LIKE it. I can eat whatever I want and still be comfortable. These are important considerations for girls, you know. And contrary to your opinion, Tube Top is a VERY good friend. Even though she WAS the one who fixed me up with The Murse.
