luallthingsjcrew - well, I know you are a BR dress fan... Fingers crossed on it fitting perfectly!

This one has more "construction" than the J. Crew one--I luvee the higher neckline--I think this dress is FABULOUS--and you made a PERFECT choice!

Yay~ I can't wait! I'm excited for you! (Seems like that's been a happening a lot lately ;))

m&m'sMommy - nice to know I'm not the only insane one, thanks! :) I hope to do be doing a blog post on Tues or Wed about it - I just have that feeling that it could be perfect. Necklace is supposed to arrive Mon, and the earrings will come with the dress on Tues. Fingers crossed....

Heidi, you sound just like me! :-P I can be so frustrating sometimes though!
The tiered look looked really nice on you (on your blog) but the snagging *issue* sounds like it would be a definite problem w/ that Nordy's dress!!! This BR one looks gorgeous and I like the jewelry that you have styled w/ it! This looks like *YOU* too! Keep us posted- I hope we get to see it on your blog soon!!

Need to post - but not sure any of the 3 Nordies dresses are "it". Wondering if I was trying to make 1 of them "the" dress - I mean, they're all very nice - but feeling very ambivalent. Wonder if it's because I was rushed when I was buying them (2 separate trips of about 20 min each), or if deep down, I'm just not 100% feeling it for any of them. Because if 1 of them was perfect, I would be nodding my head at those comments. Or I'm just totally overthinking this and lost my mind. Nice life that this is my biggest issue right now, right?
 
Anyway - I saw this one online at BR (it's also on the big placards in the window) but not available in store yet - it's Holiday 03 and only Holiday 02 is out. So I ordered with 25% off, along with the earrings (saw them in store - way cute). Order to arrive on Tuesday. Really and truly, when I saw this dress, I fell in love. As Dina said..."Swoon". So cross my fingers, or I'm dress shopping some more on Wednesday if it doesn't work.

This one is pretty, too. Yeah, what happened?

This is pretty! What happened with the Nordstrom dresses?

This looks really beautiful Heidi- I hope it works for you! :)
