Tuesday's outfit and a wedding is a-coming!
It finally wasn't raining today but my photographer was sick and in pjs so I didn't want to ask for outside pics.
This skirt is great in CONCEPT but in reality I have almost showed my bottom half about 45 times today. Too much fabric on so short a skirt makes it airborne.
Skirt Thakoon Target I am glad I waited I got it for $6
Turtleneck sweater H&M
Tights CVS
Shoes Cole Haan
Cardigan gifted from dddgirl79
Scarf NYC street vendor
Earrings I made them.
I feel like I do this work a lot. I throw a bright scarf over black and call it a day. Well at least I don't post them too often. :P One of my remix secrets among many. Add or subtract after pics are taken.
It is supposed to get up to at least 50 degrees today. I am over the moon.
I have some exciting new. Well exciting to me. I get to go to a wedding this summer. Well not a wedding so much as a party cause the couple eloped last Valentines (over a year ago) but didn't tell anyone til he was deployed in Oct. He is responsible for this photo actually.
But the point is I get to get a fancy dress! Of course he couldn't have a real wedding being as he was one of my last hopes to be a bridesmaid. I have never been to a wedding where I wasn't related to bride or groom and the only one I ever was in was my own. We don't have an exact date because his deployment was just bumped to May.
When I was 9 or 10 hrm not sure which. I think 10. my aunt got married and we all thought I was a shoe-in for flower girl I mean I was her only niece. But no she said I was "too old" and had her friend's fat kid be it instead. Too old? Its her wedding she makes the rules, those were them I guess. They bought us matching dresses though and even at that age I was humiliated. I had a dress like the girl in the wedding but wasn't special enough to be in it. The kid was so fat the dress didn't fit her so they had to add a skirt onto it. My mom was the maid of honor in the wedding so I had no one to talk to. I want to wear an ugly taffeta gown! Instead I hung out with my uncle who was the same age as me and he gave me my first glass of wine. oops I don't think mom knew that. Not that she would be surprised in the LEAST. He was trouble. If I remember correctly my grandfather his dad had actually given him the glass. A highlight of that day is there was a professional photographer there and her got this beautiful portrait of me. You can see all over my face how heartbroken I am. Funnily its one of the most me photos ever. My step father later turned it into a giant pop art painting. Everyone agreed how sad little me was so me.
So anyways I plan on scoping out dresses and posting them for opinions. I am excited I like dressing up.

Anyways.
You look great (and color on black is still a style, not cheating, you've got texture to work with).
As for what you are going to wear to the wedding - can't wait to see!
i can't wait to see what you choose for your dress!
My cousin will not appreciate the amazingness of this dress but I hope my dad and pop does! :)
I don't know why but I love to get the male approval in my family. Probably cause they are so tight lipped. "if you like it is all that matters" BAH!
