Alright, I know this is totally last minute, but if anyone has some suggestions for me, I'm desperate.


Jordyn has a Veteran's day ceremony assembly at school tomorrow morning and since she made it into the National Junior Honor Society, she is one of the kids that escort the veterans into the gym and all that jazz.

I don't know if you have Nordstrom by you...but they are having a 40% off (or more)

I know this may not be a popular choice, but hit WalMart....the jr/misses section usually has some decent casual skirts/dresses. A skirt and sweater is always Alexis' choice...or a sweater with a dress if it calls for it.


Do you have any Maurices near you? Alexis loves their clothes as well.

How about a simple shrug to go over the fancier/strappy dress she has?

Simple, like this (OK, online I could only find a basic one in maternity, clearly you don't want THAT!, but it gives an idea of what I mean):

or crocheted, like this, depending on the dress you have:

tracy i know this must be hard. Have you gone through her closet again and picked any dress out at all? Is there a sweater that you can put over the top of any of those dresses that might look okay? If not try a resale shop close by. They must have some dresses that will be app. Or even a skirt with a top. It does not have to be a dress. You can always find a top to go with some skirt. Or if she has a black one find a nice top to go with it. Hugs and take care. Let us know what you decide.

I personally HATE Justice BUT there's one right by my house and I can always run in there when I'm in a pinch and find something.


Is she in junior sizes yet?


OH! I forgot..have you tried GAP or Old Navy?

We did try the Gap, forgot about that, and we had been in Old Navy a few weeks ago, and I don't remember there being anything there, but its one more option to check real quick.


She wears XS and Small juniors tops, and I THINK she can wear 00 pants, or 0's, I'm not real sure.

Do you have a Delia's near you.I was there last week and they had some really cute skirts that they showed with cardians and they do carry xsmall and 00 and 0.They are a little pricey but they have cute stuff.Sometimes JC penny has cute shirtwaist style dresses and Gab can wear the smalls,but she has to try them on becasue it is hit or miss with a small some fit her some are too big.Forever 21 tends to run larger and she usually can not wear most small dresses from there.Wet Seal has cute stuff sometime but is hit or miss sometime there stuff is just too old.Depending on the store Gab wears 00 or 0 in jeans,but she can wear a shorter length.Plus like th pp suggested she can always wear a shug or cardian with the dressy dress.Gab probably would,but Gab would not care if she was too dressy looking.Gabrielle has a closet full of dresses,too bad you don't live near us I could lend you one and Jordyn would have a lot to pick from.Let us know what you find.
