Nothing short of a miracle would have to happen in order for me to ever see Hawaii--is it as beautiful as it looks on television?  I just imagine it smelling like saltwater, orchids, moss, and Hawaiian Tropic suntan lotion.  Lucky you to know what it's like!  I'm jealous!

I have already posted this on another board, but I need all the suggestions I can get, and I appreciate any and all help.

My friend has asked me to help her shop for a mother of the bride dress. She really has no idea what she wants to look for, and she has done no looking on her own. We are going to go shopping not this weekend but next. The bride said for her to just pick out a simple dress. The wedding is mid March, on the beach, and they say the temperature is 70s-80s year round there (I wouldn't have known this myself LOL). I don't know the colors they are using yet, but I'm sure she does by this time.

What kind of style should we look for? MOB is 48 years old, slightly overweight but not terribly so, and relatively conservative. Any suggestions? Thanks!  Y'all seem to have great taste.
