The Everyday Bridesmaid

So clearly, I've been thinking a lot about bridesmaids' dresses lately, and we've established that I'd like something a little more...nontraditional than the group of identical girls standing next to me during the ceremony.

So I got to thinking, would we really be able to find what we're looking for at a standard department store?  I set out for a little online window shopping and have to say I was pleasantly surprised at what I found:

All accept the first one were at Macys.  The first was from J Crew.

Aren't they cute together:  monochromatic, summery, pretty, and fun!

We'll see what the girls think.
