So, as it turns out, avoiding matching dresses is not as simple as it sounds.

In an effort to avoid stumbling upon pictures in some forgotten album someday that look like this …

… we decided to avoid matching dresses.  But we would like it to look at least somewhat coordinated, so that the pictures don’t have horrid color combinations.  So I went shopping with them and our moms last weekend to find non-matching dresses.  In a strange twist of fate, they both ended up liking the same J.Crew dress anyway!  So I insisted on different colors, at least.

So all was well and I was warming to the same dress concept.

But then one sister was having second thoughts about another dress and the other sister ordered hers didn’t like it in person.  So several emails later now it looks like we might be leaning toward these from J.Crew (left) and Calvin Klein via Nordstrom (right):

…which look pretty nice together, actually.  And if we coordinate fall flowers* I think I kind of like where this is headed.  But these dresses aren’t quite in our hands, yet, so there may be more iterations of best sister shopping to do.
