Okay, so, I’ve been on a mission lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. My son’s getting hitched, which is amazing, but it also means I’ve been thrown into the world of wedding planning, or at least, wedding outfit planning. The theme? Dusty blue. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong! Finding the perfect “dusty blue mother of the groom” dress has been my latest adventure, and I’m here to share the whole wild ride.
First off, I started where everyone starts these days – the internet. I hit up all the big online shops, typing in “dusty blue mother of the groom dresses” and hoping for the best. I found some options, sure, but nothing that really screamed “me.” And the prices? Oh boy, some of these dresses cost more than my first car! I saw one for $84.98, free shipping, but it just wasn’t doing it for me. There were tons with cap sleeves, off-the-shoulder looks, and beaded bodices. Prices ranged from a somewhat reasonable $188 to a whopping $598!
Then I thought, “Maybe I need to get more specific.” So, I started looking into custom options. I stumbled upon some websites where they make dresses to order, which sounded great in theory. But the idea of ordering something so important without trying it on first? No, thank you. I wasn’t about to gamble on a custom-made dress that I might not even like, especially for my son’s big day.
Next, I figured I’d try something a little different. I started looking at accessories, thinking maybe I could find a dusty blue clutch or something to go with a dress I already owned. I found some cute clutches, but then I realized I was going about this all wrong. I needed a dress first, accessories second!
One day, I saw an interesting idea – a dress with a colored skirt and a white jacket. It was different, and I liked the concept. But again, I wasn’t sure if it was “mother of the groom” appropriate. Plus, I was still stuck on the whole dusty blue thing. I even checked out some shops that specialized in bridesmaid stuff, thinking they might have some crossover, but it was still a no-go.
At this point, I was starting to feel a bit defeated. It felt like I’d looked everywhere, tried everything, and I was still coming up empty-handed. This whole “dusty blue mother of the groom” dress search was turning into a saga!
- Start searching online: Found some dresses, but nothing special and some were way too expensive.
- Look into custom options: Sounded good, but too risky without trying it on.
- Consider accessories: Found some cute clutches, but realized I needed the dress first.
- Explore different styles: Saw a dress with a colored skirt and white jacket, but it wasn’t quite right.
- Check bridesmaid shops: Still no luck.
But hey, I’m not giving up. I’ve got a bit more digging to do, maybe some local boutiques or something. This dress is out there, I can feel it! I’ll keep you all posted on my progress. Wish me luck!
