WEDDING attire

Happy Monday! Well, just when I thought wedding season was over, hubby and I received four more invites. That means 12 weddings between May and the first week of October this year. I didn't even realize we had that many single friends left! I have already worn the life out of my $5 red dress, but my wallet isn't up to the task of purchasing anymore weddingwear. Let's pretend for a minute that I have money to burn. 

Vintage Peach Crystal Pleated Maxi Dress - Apepazza Finoe Sandal - Anthropologie Tugela Bib Necklace - Nine West Agnes Croco Clutch - Anthropologie Sandy Stretch Belt

Lia Kes Ombre Chiffon Dress - Nine West Zann Pumps - Nine West Gabby Clutch - Anthropologie Rolling Mercury Earrings - Liz Palacios Crystal Statement Ring

Gryphon Flower Cap Sleeve Dress - Poetic Licence Miss Betty Pump - Anthropologie Hypnosis Earrings - Anthropologie Tree Rose Cuff

That was way too fun. I must do that again sometime, but I'm all out of pretend money for now. It's time to return to reality and think of 4 new ways to wear my $5 red dress...

aaron & lauren's WEDDING

Who: My college roommate and her betrothed

Where: Portefleur Estate in La Habra Heights

The Story: On Thursday I decided I wasn't feeling well enough to make the trip to SoCal. Friday I changed my mind and decided I would tough it out. Friday evening I decided it wasn't wise to go. And Friday evening at 10 o'clock I decided once and for all that I didn't want to miss my college roommate's wedding. Saturday morning we took off at 6:30am to arrive in SoCal at noon for a quick costume change at hubby's uncle and aunt's and then we drove straight to the wedding in La Habra Heights. It was beautiful. Lauren was beautiful. I had a great time. Indecision turned into the right decision.

Highlights: professionals doing silhouettes of the guests for the guest book and to take home, a classical guitarist, the speakers blowing out during dancing and the guests singing new songs and continuing to dance- then a guest pulling out a guitar to fill in until the speakers were up again, being reunited with two dear college friends for the first time in three years!

A small taste of the improv singing:
