This morning, I decided to blog about something different than “my S T Y L E” but my post is still somewhat about my style…
First off… this morning in the shower I was thinking about what I was going to wear… typically that’s where I pull together my wardrobe…in my mind… in the shower… let’s just say it sounded cute in my head but looked horrible on! I’ve been working my buns off/out like crazy, typically I run about 4 miles a day 5 times a week so that means 20 miles per week. In addition I take weight lifting classes 3 times a week to tone {which if you do the math, then YES, at 27 years old I’m still doing 2-a-days}. I always eat well {with the exception on the weekends…. and ok, my weekends start Thursday night BUT, still….} The weight just keeps on coming. Redonk! I woke up this morning 4lbs heavier than yesterday… I looked at my “calendar” and I’m still 2 weeks away from my you know what. {TMI… sorry, with me I’m an open book}. I’ve convinced myself that maybe there’s a baby brewing inside my size 2 now size 4 tummy… maybe it’s all the excitement of our friends, the Belchers just giving birth to a precious healthy little boy, or maybe it’s the excitement of one of my besties Brandy being preggers, or maybe it was the conversation between one of my other besties and myself earlier in the day… babies must just be on my mind… So much so that I was… 100% . totally . convinced . that . I . was . expecting …. a baby!
Last night, after much anticipation, lots of sweat, lots of thinking {how the hell are we going to parent a child in a 850 sf condo that we can’t sell}… the little stick came back {4 times} with a big ‘ol negative… No babies, not yet, which is a good thing… but I really can’t wait for that day to come… just give me a year. So, that baby that has grown from a size 2 to a size 4 would be my candy baby… my cookie baby… my vino baby… my vodka + soda with a splash of lime baby… my 5 guys baby {which is TOTALLY not fair that we live within not even a block walking distance to that oh so addictive place}… I’m sporting a kicking, screaming, let me out, food baby. And for that and my swollen tummy, I did not document my S T Y L E this morning. Side note… I have 2 months and 4 days before Mel’s wedding day, her dresses are amazing, stunning, long, and just beautiful… from this day FORWARD I’m putting on my A-GAME… diet is on! Bring it.
But instead I FINALLY am documenting the style and wardrobe selection of my wedding… which as most of you know… vintage glam! For those brides out there…. you can hire me to select wardrobe at a fabulous price point for your wedding parties!!
With my wedding it was important to find a dress for the ladies that they felt sexy and stunning in… we looked EVERYWHERE and just couldn’t find “the one” until one trip to BCBG in Southpark mall… Found the dress 4 months prior to purchasing it. Originally it was almost $400, but I waited, we waited and waited until it got down to $150! We had dresses shipped in from all over the United States for my 5 bridesmaids!
As the bridal party gift I purchased the most PERFECT Steve Madden shoes which again… I waited to go on sale… finally they did and $49 later they were all ours! I also purchased a necklace {$19} and chunky ring {$5)as a gift to them.
How hot are they??
For the handsome fella’s we wanted something classic. Thanks to Penguins for their fabulous help in pulling this ENTIRE look together!
And then there was the children… and if they didn’t play a classic vintage role of porcelain dolls… I’m not sure what does!
I promise… more pic’s to come of the best day of my life…
