White Lace Top with Blingy Sandals

Clearly, this outfit is from the archives! These are the Barefeet Shoes I bought for my Bachelorette. I ordered this top through eBay, but when it arrived the sleeves were a little too flared. It made the top look more Patchoulli than Romantic. But with a quick little roll of the sleeves, it still totally works.

Hot Pink Stripes, Camo Vest, Snakeskin Sandals, and New Hair!

WHOOPSIE, I have been slacking off! With the wedding right around the corner, details have officially taken over my life!

These pics are from over a month ago, right after I got my hair done (which you already know if you follow me on Instagram). It started out as a very simple casual look - jeans and a striped tee - but as I kept adding patterns, it turned into something more exciting. I continue to be fascinated with New Neutrals, and if you're playing along at home, add snakeskin to that list.

Black Shift with Snakeskin Gladiators and Ethnic Necklace

Last time I wore this dress, I went with a clean, modern look.  This time, I used it as a base for a more eclectic, bohemian vibe. This is an old Forever 21 necklace from my mom (as a present! for once I didn't just steal it from her!), and these snakeskin sandals are among my most comfortable.

Lavender Party Dress with Crystal Gladiator Sandals

I need to take all my pictures at sunset on the beach! Again, after much debate over numerous options, this is what I settled on for the official Bachelorette Party. I tried this Akira cupcake of a dress on mostly as a joke, but as soon as I put it on, I knew it was coming home with me. It was too big, so I had it taken in at the sides, but my tailor left alllll the poof at the bottom. 

I had planned on toughening up the sugary sweetness of the dress with my old Dior Gladiator knock-offs, but I ended up finding these amazing flats in Pennsylvania. At one point in the evening, while I was decked in a veiled tiara and bachelorette sash, one of the girls asked me if I felt like a bride. I replied, "I feel like Toddlers in Tiaras, but I'm not mad about it!" My other options were a bit more sophisticated, but the deciding factor was that if I didn't wear this silly dress that night, I don't know where on Earth else I could pull it off.

Special shoutouts to Jill for lending me her "Vegas" clutch, and my sister Liz for letting me borrow my favorite J. Crew necklace of hers at the last minute (YES, even my zillions of options needed supplementing)!

Silk with Sweatpants and Gladiator Heels

This was my wild card look, and I kind of wish I has skipped it. With everything else being SO classic, I felt like I wanted one look to be representative of  Now. But I think I went a little overboard... This was cute in person, but the grey of the pants against the grey of the rocks and the grey skies just didn't look right. I also changed in the back of the car, so my shirt tuck came out a little awkward.

These shoes are knockoffs of the Extreme Dior Gladiator Platforms Carrie Bradshaw wore in the fist Sex and the City movie! Steve bought these for me when we first started dating, so I thought it would be a cute touch to include them.
