Grad dress ahoy

So we started out looking for a purple dress, not girly, no poof, no beads...when we couldn't find anything purple we decided to go with teal...then thought a little "poof" would be ok....and since we were going with "poof", "girly" was a given....and since we were ok with "poof" AND "girly" beads seemed acceptable now too. Just goes to show you that what you think you want and what you actualy want are often VERY different.

(PS. the pink straps are not part of the dress)
