Last Minute Prom Dress!!!

Amanda had picked out a dress for Prom and was trying to order it from the internet. Well, she had several problems and when the second site she tried to order from didn't ship it out right away due to us having a new address (not the same as her debit card address) she started to panic. This Friday is Steve's Prom at Portage High School. So yesterday, she talked me into driving her to Peaches, a dress shop in Chicago. It's all the way out by Midway Airport! We went right after work. Good thing they are open till 9:00 pm. I made good time getting there and we didn't have a problem finding it. She had gone earlier this week with her girlfriend and friend's mom. Driving back home was another story since I decided to take a different way and go through the city (dumb move).

The shop had TONS of beautiful prom dresses!!! She found the one she had wanted to order, but I talked her into trying on some other bright colored ones too. The one she originally wanted was brown (ick). After trying on several, she narrowed it down to 2 lime green dresses that she liked. The store looks up your school to see if anyone else has purchased the dress. Since she is going to both Portage Prom and Valpo prom again this year, they looked up both and one of the dresses she had picked was already purchased by someone at Valpo! So that made the decision for her. I like the one she ended up getting best anyway. It looks fantastic on her. It's a great color and is flattering to her tall thin figure. Here's the one she bought.
