I decided that this year's theme would be silver, in honor of my silver medal. This however proved to be a bit difficult as many silver dresses seemed a bit too...um...shiny:

You have to wear the strapless dress sometime (maybe w/a little cardigan if you're more comfortable). It's so super cute! I like all of the dresses, though.
ooh, I adore the "Anne of Green Gables" dress!!
(Thought the one you have planned is nice too.)
All I can say is, Grace, keep winning awards because I adore your dress posts! :) You have great style.
