non-matching BM dresses

I would like to direct my sister-bridesmaids to {this} post about non-matching dresses. I think blush pink or light gray would look great with the eggplant dress we have already purchased.

bridesmaids dresses

I'm not sure why, but I've been really into bridesmaids dresses lately. I purchased a clearance Calvin Klein dress over the weekend. Its a lovely eggplant color ... and there is no way I'm going to find another one. Sigh. I thought I was going to be laid-back and trendy about the dresses, but maybe the "matching" bridesmaid trend was about convenience.

My sisters don't have to have the same dress, but I also don't want them to pay an arm and a leg for them! I'm hoping David's Bridal will be a close match. Otherwise, we'll be doing "opposites": one purple dress, one gray dress. Or, I'll change the color palette. I really like coral and gray. I like dark purple and gray. I like everything! Its a problem ...
