I really like the bm dresses i'm sure once everyone is all dolled up they will look fabulous in them. I really don't blame you for being aggravated. You asked them to pick out their own dresses, and they didn't so you had to. You ask them to pick out their own jewelry, and they don't so you had to. You pick out the stuff for them and they aren't happy with it. You have been more than patient with them. They should of jumped at the chance to pick out their own stuff and they didn't. I think your being way too nice and i wouldn't even worry about what they like anymore. You tried. I know how aggravating it is when you ask people to do something and they don't. You don't need the pressure. I wouldn't go crazy looking for new earring, since you do know somewhere you can get inexpensive studs than i would either go with them or just keep the starfish earrings.
