I am Sasha Fierce????

Orrr perhaps Naja?  Okay. I am fully and totally confused about everything dress-related as of late.  Sophia was gorgeous, I felt like a bride, but her fabric just didn't do it for me after my shopping trip at home with my mom (pictures will come as soon as she uploads them).  Now, I have been dress shopping on my own and I did the ultimate faux pas, you guessed it. I tried on a dress that was over budget, I mean a girl has to see what $1400 will get you, right?!  Well 1400 got me EXQUISITENESS in a dress. It was couture, sophisticated, had the lines and silhouette of Romona Keveza's 2008 line (oh yeah I am totally fashion-foward no matter what I look like on a daily basis running to the gym or after the kids).  So here she is in all of her sophisticated Silky Satin Ivory/Alabaster/Oyster gorgeousness.  And hell yeah I loved it!  This dress was found at Bustle a boutique bridal salon.  I named her Naja by the way...
Now since I don't think anyone should have anything like me (yeah right since Pronovias is doing the side bustle in their 2010 line, but let's say I'm fashion forward and I totally created this side umph to make me feel well better, isn't this outstanding?!)
Another view.  Now it must be noted that this dress was actually a halter that I modified to fit my vision.  The one shoulder has been compared to the Statue of Liberty by a great friend, but I'd rather say it makes me look statue-esque (LMAO!!)
This is another dress that I tried on today by Pronovias.  I loved it as well and it can do the same umph-ish type things as Naja dress, but the price was more comparable to Sophia.  I named her Sasha....
Now Sasha can have some modifications made to make her more of a sweetheart neckline with the one shoulder addition... Keep in mind this dress is a bit too large in teh top and needs to be altered and it comes without the belt.... but I have already checked around and can find a decent belt for a great price... but we'll discuss accessories in another post. 

Side umph to make it mochafrugalista couture....

WOW!! You look gorgeous in your "Naja" dress. The other dress is beautiful too, but I actually said "wow" out loud at the first one. It just flatters you in all the right places!

@Missy: LOL that first one is 700 more than the second, nearly twice the price. I am not sure of which I will chose still lol!!!
