Rehearsal Dinner Dress Revealed

Hello all!  This Thursday night will be our wedding rehearsal.  Immediately after we'll be going to a nearby Italian restaurant in Ballard for a dinner and celebration.  I can't wait for it as it'll be one of the few times I get my family and friends in one room together. 

A momentous occasion like this deserves an amazing dress.  I decided I wanted to treat myself and get the Discovered Lace Dress that I loved so much.  I'm glad I did because my size ran out quickly after I bought it in my store and all sizes are running out fairly quickly online.  I also am against buying dresses for one occasion, so with the fall coming, this little number will transition great for work.



To add drama, I decided to pair this with the new Jessica Simpson pumps I recently purchased at DSW.  With these shoes on, I tower over all my friends, but it also makes me feel super skinny!  Haha.


I will be posting pictures up to show everyone the ensemble when I'm all dolled up to give you guys the full affect!!! 

Today is also my last day at work until after Labor Day.  For the next few days before the wedding, Chris and I have a bunch of little errands to run during the day and prep work during the night so I apologize ahead of time if you notice fewer posts and comments on your blogs.  It doesn't mean I'm not reading them.  =P 

I wanted to wear one of my favorite purchases for my last day at work before our vacation.  Of course it's the Acting Out Skirt!  And yes, that is the Showtime Tee you guys are seeing with it.  I loved this tee so much after I tried it on and decided to get the pink version.  I still love it and it's so comfortable.

  3. Wow - I haven't been a fan of the Discovered Lace Dress, but you are STUNNING in it - what a pretty choice for your rehearsal dinner!

    And I love your new tee, I am very tempted to order after seeing how cute it looks on you.

    P.S. - my mom owns an Italian Market, so I got a kick out of your lunchmeat platter picture - most people haven't even heard of some of those!

  12. I love the acting out skirt. It is such an enabler, isn't it? Pretty much works with anything you throw on top of it.

    Now the heels... I am always in awe to women who can walk on heels that high...
