i found my dress!

u kno, being the impatient person i am.. i have been going shopping at every opportunity i get, in the hope of finding THE dress.

to be honest, i dun realli have a dream dress in mind. i only kno i want it to be white (actually not totally white, i am hoping it is white with a tinge of design somewhere on the dress), flowy (but not so flowy that i look pregnant) and long (at least below my knees). most imptly, it has to look casual (since i have decided on the "resort* theme), yet pretty.

so i went for a little shopping last friday with my sis and found nothing.. well we did find something at zara but there was too much red than white and also too much details. and it was too long, so long that i looked like i was swimming in it. but the style was realli close to wat i wanted.

so today, i attempted to go shopping for my dress again, hoping to find some stuff. i walked into topshop (for the upteenth time), river island, dorothy perkins and warehouse. NOTHING. i think it cud also be due to the fact that that GSS is going on, hence, the sale stuff were only so-so.

however i was quite happy when i walked into Island Shop. i kno they alwaes have nice dresses and very resort-y too but i jus didn't find one that i fell head over heels in love with. i did see a lot of suitbale stuff for *him* tho. :)

so i was all ready to go back to office (yes, i went during lunch.. imagine how rushed for time i was!), but i decided to go check out Robinson's. i felt i was being pretty desperate. haha. and so, i found myself pleasantly surprised when i saw not one, but two very pretty white dresses.

the 1st one i saw was very much a cocktail dress. it has assymetrical skirting and had many layerings at the bottom. but it was one of those dresses that jus hung on you, without giving u any shape. and no doubt i will need to have it slightly altered for it to flatter my non-curvacious body. and it didn't look very resort-y either. if i were going for an atas affair, it wud be perfect. i did like it very much tho, so i reserved it and went on with my hunt for my dress.

jus as i was abt to give up for the day and head back to office, i saw a dress with very nice embroidery work hanging on one of the racks near the exit. i walked over to pick it up.. and there it was. THE dress! i fell in love with it immediately and walked w/o any hesitants to the fitting room.. praying for it to look good on me.

not only did i look good in it, it fit me perfectly! i did not need to make any alterations and it was everything i wanted! it was long (jus nice and flowing ard my ankles), off-white colour with the embroidery detail ard the bust area and it's resort-y! now all i have to do is to find the right pair of shoes and accessories to match!

and i am done!

oh not realli, i still have to shop for *his* get-up. haha.. aiya, but u kno, guys stuff much easier to get one ma. :p

so ya, i am a happy girl now! but sorry to my girls cuz u wun be seeing any pictures of my dress up here.. u're not supposed to see it until the day itself! :p

but no matter wat u think of the dress, u better tell me it's nice when u finally see it!! :p
