Fall In Love

On Friday we celebrated at the wedding of my brother in law and new sister in law. They chose a venue that was a historic location and had the ceremony outside in a garden and a beautiful indoor reception.  My husband and I love going to weddings- I think I like going a lot too to see what everyone (including the bride) will be wearing. I love the decorations, colors and themes. I often imagine what I would do if our wedding were this year instead of thirteen years ago.  While I didn't have any part in the wedding, I still wanted to dress up and look good. I decided on this beautiful dress from Loft that was purchased during a 50% off sale. I wore nude bow pumps and pearls with this dress and carried a leopard clutch for fun. I love this look! I think I will wear it again with a denim jacket and boots.  Here are some pictures of my wedding ensemble: Dress: Loft Clutch: Forever 21 Bow Pumps: DSW Bangles- Lia Sophia Pearl Neckla...

My husband and I put on our finest attire and get a sitter and attend a lovely service with a reception to follow. You all know the drill.  I can't tell you the last wedding that I attended before the two that I just did in October. Maybe it's because I love a good party but I wish more people were getting married so I could attend.  I digress... Anyways, we were invited to two weddings two weekends in a row! Spectacular! But what to wear? I was looking for dresses and I wanted to wear two different ones since a) I would be seeing some of the same people b) one was daytime and one was nighttime and c) who doesn't want a new dress?  I saw the collection at New York and Company by Eva Mendes and immediately fell in love with her dresses! They were classic and feminine at reasonable prices. I purchased two different one...
