Work and house hunting/finalizing We went back to a home we saw on Sunday and checked out all of the other homes for sale in the ‘hood. Then we made an offer!! The owner has come back with a counter offer this evening, so we are about to throw the ball right back in their court. I am hoping that we can get the house, because I really am in love with it…but there is a limit we are willing to pay, so we will see!

Here is what will hopefully be our new home in the next few days. If so, be sure to expect a slight shift to home improvement/design on the bloggie!

And the winner is:

The pink J. Crew dress Last minute decision to change from the BR Silk dress and I am so glad I did. Reasons I chose the pink dress:

1. It was crazy hot and humid yesterday, and silk dresses don’t pair well with hot and humid!

2. I had to sit in the car for 2 hours to get to the wedding and this dress was wrinkle free.

3. I felt like the silk dress was just a tad too dressy for this event…and I was right.

So without further ado, here is my wedding recap:

I kept it pretty simple with silver accessories and shoes. Actually hubby picked out the shoes! No idea where the shoes are from, I wore them as a bridesmaid a few years ago. Bracelet is from F21 and earrings are Express.

Some friends from college, all in tres chic dresses. What can I say, my friends have style

This is my “little” sister in my sorority, although she has about a foot on me in height! You can’t really see, but there were these gorgeous paper lanterns and fabric draped from the ceiling that looked so pretty. I wish I would have taken more pics of the scenery, our friends did a great job!

Starting to look a little rough at this point, must be those things in our hands!

I didn’t get a great pic of the bride, but she was absolutely gorgeous and I loved her dress.

The bride’s sorority always sings to the bride at weddings, and man those girls can sing!

The groom’s (and hubby’s) fraternity also sings to the bride, and they CANNOT sing! Seriously, they could hardly remember the words to their own song. I did love when they did this at our wedding though

We also decided to show off our mad dancing skills. This is my favorite part of wedding receptions…well second to WEDDING CAKE!

The priest also decided to show off his mad dance skills. He was dropping it like it was hot all over the place!

Hubby also got caught me in the act of holding a baby…which if you know me, you will understand this one. Really I just wanted her polka dot footy pj’s. That is her daddy to the right of me and she is definitely thinking “Help me daddy, who is this crazy lady?!”

We had a wonderful time hanging out with all of our friends and the wedding was beautiful. Now for our anniversary this weekend and then another wedding the next!

What is your favorite part of a wedding?

Mine is watching the groom’s face when he first sees the bride. Most people watch the bride when she walks in, but I always love to see the groom get all teary eyed and grinning ear to ear

Happy Shopping!

I have always been a J.Crew lovin’ gal. I used to get so excited to receive my catalog in the mail every season in high school so I could pick out all of my fave looks and styles. My wonderful mom also used to let me order a few things and I dreamed of the day I could afford all of the beautifully classic shoes, power suits, and blouses. Things haven’t changed much! I still wait for the glossy catalog to arrive in my mail box so I can see how the wonderful J.Crew stylists have styled and marketed the beautiful items. Today’s inspiration comes from the pages of my latest catalog, although only one item is actually from J.Crew!

When:

Friday, May 15th

Where:

Workin’ it for casual Friday. Took my first Zumba class during lunch, and HOLY MOLY! Now I was (hear that WAS) a dancer for 15 years, but I haven’t danced like that in a long time. Or sweated that much either! Heartrate monitor read over 500 cals burned by the end of class, so I think it was a great workout. I enjoyed it and will absolutely be heading back!

What:

White T – American Apparel (I LOVE THESE T’s!)

Navy Jacket – BR Outlet

Necklace – F21

Shoes – J. Crew

Jeans – 7 for All Mankind

Purse – Picked up with my dress at Banana Republic earlier in the week. Also basically free since with my 35% off coupon I saved the same amount as the price of the purse

Earrings and Silver bracelet – both gifts

Thanks for all your votes on my wedding attire, can’t wait to show you which one I choose! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
