You want me to what?!?!?

So at our church they have an annual women's Festival of Praise which consists of getting dressed up, having some of the men folk serve up a yummy dinner, a humorous speaker and a fashion show sponsored by a local clothing boutique. Now I'm not ugly....I don't think but I'm far from "model" material. Imagine my surprise when I was approached about modeling in the fashion show. Man......my head swelled to about 4 times it's normal ginormousness! Of course, then, the other shoe dropped. I found out they just thought it would be cute if we had 4 generations in the fashion show...my mom, me, one of my daughters and my granddaughter. So, now that my ego is properly deflated, it's off to The Veranda to pick out a couple of model-worthy outfits. I take all 3 of my girls. Davin is modeling with us so she tries on a few outfits and finds a really cute casual shirt to wear with jeans and dress up with some strappy shoes and jewlery. For her "dressy' outfit, she's wearing a balloon hem taffeta party dress. Cute cute cute!! So, then it was my turn....yah. Did I look cute in all the adorable outfits I picked out?? Not so much! Did I have trouble finding something to wear? Yes, not because they were ALL so darn adorable but because most of them made me look frumpy, old or like a "singer" (yeah, that's my code word for hooker.....long story). Long story short, I ended up with a black faux-wrap dress and a pair of mocha brown pants with matching top. Some really tacky purses and the gaudiest jewelry ever. I realize I'm doing this to showcase the merchandise of the boutique but I do hope everyone realizes this is soooo not my style. :-)

I seriously can't wait to see all the pictures. That rules!

PS = my sister and cousins and I used to "model" with my Grandmother all the time. Great memories and very cool that you're doing it with your girls!
