Shopping for Stardom

Today we had an incredible evening looking for dresses for Miss Melissa! She was determined to find the perfect simple black dress for her upcoming tap piece. Black, beautiful and perfect. We searched high and low for it and to unfortunately could not find it :( However, during the search, it was clear there were many lessons to learn.

We instantly recognized a comparison between relationships and shopping. Just like shopping for a dress, we seem to shop for our life partners. Going into different stores, trying them on, taking them off until finally you find the one that makes you feel like a queen. During the search, there are those that fit and those that don't but sometimes you can find the Cinderella dream dress where you least expect it!

We also saw the importance of patience, time and money. From BCBG to Macy's we scoured the Glendale Galleria and walked away happily empty handed. A feathered fancy number ran at $780 dollars! Meanwhile, JCPenny's carried their low end prom dresses for a special of 29.99, but what is value really worth theses days?
