Dress shopping

I am not a dress person anymore. Back in "the day" when I was younger and slimmer, I wore dresses constantly. Now I prefer a matching skirt and top if it has to be a "dress". But basically it is normally capris and a dressy top. But this summer I am attending a conference that will require I dress up a little and I know from past photos that the majority of the attendees (over 10,000 women) wear dresses.



July is a long way away, but I am very picky about being comfortable and if I am going to wear a dress it is going to take me awhile to find exactly what I want. My daughter is very fashionable so I am appointing her my fashionista shopping expert to help me find an ensemble. She is all A-line dresses or Empire Waists and all kinds of fashion language that is beyond me. She sent me some idea by Facebook, but I couldn't get them to save so I started my own browsing based on instruction from her on what I need. So here we go with the fashion show so far, I would love to hear your thoughts.

As you can see by the varied looks of the dresses, it will probably involve new shoes as well, since I am the queen of flip flops in the summer. So I am thinking something a little dressy with a low-medium heel.

In addition to the big night, I will be doing a lot of walking during the day from conference session to conference session. I will need to get new comfy tennis shoes, but I will also need some comfy new flip flops to wear when the walking will be shorter distances (I am all about the flip flop) so I think these may be a pair I will want to check out. They look super comfortable.

Looks like I have a lot of window shopping to do to find what I need over the next 5 or 6 months.
