Finally!

Yes I'm devoting a whole post to my finding a graduation dress.

It has been way harder than it should be. At College of Charleston, for the May graduation girls wear a white summer dress and men where a summer tuxedo, which means they have a white jacket instead of black.

Men have been so lucky. Prom, graduation, wedding... they get to just go out and rent a tux.

Us ladies? We have to buy a friggin dress that we (may) only wear once. Well, for the wedding dress it's once (hopefully). I've actually worn both of my prom dresses on several cruises on formal night.

The good thing about this dress is that it's casual so I can wear it to work, or on a Saturday afternoon, or where ever.

Now Steven and I went all up and down King Street, all around Mt. Pleasant Towne Centre, and Citadel Mall to find this dress. We went into department stores, big name stores (Old Navy & such) and local boutiques... nothing, or something not in my size. Gah! I was about to have to GAIN 20 pounds to fit into my dress!! Then finally... there it is.. my dress! Where did I find it? ........ Target! Go figure.
