(no subject)
Here's a selfish post about me.
But first...
Matt and Kim are getting married on Friday. Matt is Mike's cousin, and I've known him since second grade. Kim is a friend of mine that I met in my freshman year of highschool. Time and distance have caused us to grow apart from them more than I would have liked, but I am so excited to be there for their wedding day. Not to sound like we're from some kind of goofy white trash town, but all four of us graduated together and have such a history. Kim and I used to giggle in our ninth grade science class about how we were going to trick Matt and Mike to fall in love with us. We had silly little daydreams about having a double wedding, etc. And ten years later here we are... it really feels so sentimental.
My major issue is that I need to try and make myself look relatively put-together in front of all of these people. I am well aware that is not my day. But we all know that in the downtime in-between nuptuals and cake cutting there will be much mingling, with many people I have not seen since my wedding day. I don't want people to ask me, "so what have you been up to?" all the while thinking, "other than clearly letting yourself go".
So I pulled together this little frock and I am only missing one piece... a cover up.
Trust me, it has been more difficult than one would think.
The Dress.
The Shoes.
The shoes are the right color, my dress is actually black with red accents.
I've been having such a difficult time finding a little sweater or something to wear over it, and I certainly will not be going without one. I also don't plan on wearing a wrap... it's not the freakin' prom.
So we'll see. I also need a manicure and an eyebrow wax... (good thing I do those things myself) all before Wednesday night!
