Our Secret Dream 2

Dress Shopping

We walk together down the busy streets in New York buzzing from the hustle and bustle of the people around us. The sounds of horns beeping as Taxi drivers wiz past us. The vibe of this city screaming caos, like anything could happen at any given second. The warm breeze pushing against us, making our hair dance wildly behind us. We continue walking down 42nd street our arms linked together to ensure we don't get separated. Addi and Quinn both locked deep in conversation, making jokes and laughing. I nod along contently a smile on my face as I continue to get consumed by my thoughts. I'm really praying for a positive day today. Keep your fingers crossed for me loves.

We stop abruptly after ten minutes of walking. Both Quinn and Addi turn and look over to me huge smiles on their faces. 'Are you ready to get this day started?' Addi asks looking between me and the sign of the shop ahead of us. 'Heavenly Vail' I say as I read the sign of the first boutique of the day. 'Do you remember the name?' Quinn asks as she pulls me towards the door to the store. I shake my head a confused look on my face. 'This was the place you saw online and mentioned you liked one of the dresses' she tells me as her and Addi walk over to the main desk. Leaving me behind them, looking around the store. Everything is white leather, sparkly wallpaper and crystal chandeliers. This is not what I was expecting when we set of this morning. I for sure don't remember ever saying anything to Quinn or Addi about 'Heavenly Vail'

It's in this very moment as I'm sitting down on a plush white sofa listening to our (potential) stylist for my gown that I realise I don't have a clue about dresses in general. Like who knew their was so many different wedding dress styles or actual dress styles in general? Don't get me wrong I'm not a complete idiot, I've heard of Ballgown, A-Line & Mermaid but have you ever heard of Trumpet? Sheath? Tea-Length? Cause I sure as hell haven't. Call me stupid but damn why have we got so many damn options. I am clearly struggling to make up my mind as it is and now I have to pick between 10 style options...send help or a medical kit that can help me relax! I'm not sure I'm going to make it out of today with my sanity in check.

Quinn and Addi seem to be right in their elements as they eagerly nod along to the stylist who's name is 'Evelyn' Eve for short. Its like she has them both trapped under some sort of spell, hanging off every word she says. Whilst I try my best to follow her. I really do but it's like she's speaking so damn fast. For all I know she could be speaking in a foreign language.

It's not that I'm not listening to her or trying to be engaged in the conversation, I'm just not sure listing and zoning in on the minor details is what's needed right now. Especially when I don't have any idea as to what I'm looking for or what I'd like.

All I actually want to do is look at some dresses, and see what ones I like. Maybe I'll find a few dress styles that I like and we can use it to help start my design. We just need something that gives me a feeling...but I don't get this 'freedom' to speak vibe from Evelyn.

Quinn 'So Sky what do you think?' She asks excitement in her chirpy voice.

Quinn shoves my shoulder pulling me away from me my thoughts. With hazy eyes. I look over to her. 'Huh' I say completely at a loss for what was said or how I should actually respond in this situation.

Quinn 'Are you looking for a custom design or an off the rack dress?' She repeats.

Skylar 'Cutom. Though I'd like to have a look at some of the dresses you have available so I can get some ideas of what I like.' I say whilst looking around the store from my spot on the sofa.
