A Fashion Epiphany

So...Pat and I are heading to another friend's wedding this weekend...back in Greenville! Stoked about that :) But, as usual, with a new wedding comes a new outfit. You can't have pictures from more than one wedding in only one outfit! Plus, I just needed to shop. I haven't done that in a LONG time!

This shopping experience actually went really well. It was extremely encouraging, and I actually found a new style that works for me in a fairly short amount of time! The high-waisted dress. LOVE IT!

I bought this Worthington dress on sale for $49. It was originally $75. I can use it for the wedding and for work. A two-in-one!
I knew that pearls would work really well with this dress. No, I'm not talkin' real pearls, folks. Simply costume/fashion jewelry. But, these have a very elegant feel to them and will really pop with that outfit. $18.
What Not to Wear always talks about high-waisted dresses and how they bring out your best features. SO TRUE! They also talk about adding color to your outfit...

I already had this purse. My hubby is a groomsmen, wearing a wine colored vest. Matching? Oh yes!
I also had these shoes from a couple years ago. They are some of my favorites...they really show off my legs :)
And of course, the other bling that I will be wearing...my amazing wedding ring. It's our first time attending a wedding as a married couple :) I still stare at the shiny diamonds on my left ring finger. I am very proud of what they represent! Love you, hubby! I think about our wedding day EVERY day!
Nice!
We are leaving this Friday for the event and we are excited! It's always fun to leave town for a few days and reminisce with old friends. Should be a good time!

One question, though. Should I wear black stockings with my new wedding outfit!?

In other good news, I have a new customer for One Fine Blog Design :) So excited to work with you, Liberty!

I'm off to relax, folks! Happy Tuesday!!

Super cute outfit! I just wore a similar dress but believe it or not I lucked up and found it at Wal-Mart for a whopping $16!!!! I also wore pearls with it. :)

Congrats on your newest customer... you're doing great!!

I like the dress a lot. Very cute. I would go with tights, but I think with or without would be perfectly great. =)

Love that dress!!! (And it was on sale...even better!) I hope you have a wonderful time. You are going to look so chic!

Oh, I wish I had some fashion sense! And I notice you've got a Redskins button in your sidebar. Are you from DC, or just a fan? I'm really sad about the state of the team. Dan Snyder needs to go!

I would go with a neutral shade on the stockings. What a great ensemble!

just stopped by from SITS to say hi; hope you'll do the same.

Oooo!! I love your sense of fashion! The high waist, the pearls, the wine-colored purse... Want to lend the outfit to me when you're done? Haha! You should definitely post pictures after the event so we can all ooh and ahh at your choice in attire :)
