Why Did You Wear That: Budget Bride

By |February 23rd, 2011|Why Did You Wear That?|

Going right along with my post from yesterday and my love for all things lovely, I was inspired to find some beautiful wedding dresses for the brides to be out there.  I was amazed how many gorgeous dresses are available for under $1000 (Hopefully, my mother isn’t reading cause she’ll punch me for picking one for about ten times as much- sorry, mom!).  If you aren’t aware, weddings are freaking expensive!  The dress alone can exhaust your financial resources, so finding so many amazing options (seriously something for everyone) is a total relief.  These dresses are all of the rack, so you have plenty of time to save up and then get alterations done.  When you order designer dresses they take about six months to be made and then add time for alterations – not a whole lot of time to pinch pennies.  I’m not gonna be shy, I’ve really outdone myself this time, behold 24 to die for dresses.  You’re welcome!

Why Did You Wear That: Green With Envy

By |December 7th, 2010|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

This time of year, most people think of red for holiday dressing. Well, I say, why not go against the grain?  Who wants to blend into the crowd when you can lead the pack? Rather than going with the obvious crimson dress, seek out something green.  Green is actually much more flattering and easier to wear for all skin tones. Whether you go evergreen or army, going green is sure to leave them envious.
