Grad Dress Shopping

Saturday was the day. We "finally" (as Caitlin says) went to buy her a dress. It started out a great day. Matthew didn't want to come do girly stuff, so he stayed home with a friend. So it was just the four of us. It is not very often that we are out with just the girls, so that was a nice treat. We started off in Chatham. First store was a 'formal gown' store. There wasn't very much in Caitlin's size, and what there was came with a big price tag. Around $400 per dress. So we ventured on. The next place we went was Le Chateau. They didn't have very much choices there as well. A couple cute black dresses, but that was it. So we went to another store on King St. Caitlin walked in, looked around, and walked out again, all within 5 minutes. So we then go to a bridal shop on King St. The owner was a weird guy who was giving us all the jeebies, so we left there. We then decided to go for lunch and think up a new plan. We decided to go on to Windsor to the Devonshire Mall. This was the best part of the day. We found a parking spot right in front of a Sears door. We walk in, and directly infront of us was a sign "All Formal Wear 35% Off". We couldn't believe it. So we are looking through the dresses and Caitlin's first pick, she thinks is the one. But we choose another 4 dresses for her to try on. But it turns out, that yes her first pick was the dress. So since the dress was such a good price....$59.00 (I know, can you believe it), we decided to get the rest of her accessories. We walk down the aisle and there is a sign..."All Jewerly 30% Off", we couldn't believe it, so we got her necklace and earrings. Then we decided we might as well find her shoes, since we had the dress with us to match up. So we walk down the aisle again, and low and behold, "Shoes 25-35% Off". So she found her perfect shoes. All of this shopping took less than one hour. We go up to the cashier and the grand total for everything was $119.00. The day was ment to be, everything just fell into place. And she will look beautiful and all grown up the day of her graduation. I am including some pics we took of her trying on dresses. She had a wonderful day because it was her day, all about her.

And this is the"ONE"
