Boy, does it feel good to get that off my chest!
The truth is, I’m rather talented at finding ways to justify
completely unjustifiable purchases. This wedding thing hasn’t really helped. If
anything, it’s given me an excellent excuse to buy anything pretty or vintage
or just plain frivolous.
For example, I just bought two lovely dresses; one is for
the rehearsal dinner and the other is for the wedding reception. Did I really
NEED these dresses? No. I have a couple white dresses in my closet that would
probably have worked just fine. Not to mention, I could just keep my wedding
dress on for the reception.
My mistake was looking at Modcloth’s selection of white
dresses. So many pretty dresses to choose from! It was impossible to resist the
siren call; one click, and my credit card was in serious trouble.
Maybe a week later, I came home to find the much-anticipated
Modcloth box on my porch.

Wanna see what was inside?
Here is the rehearsal dinner dress. I really like the length
on this one, and the sleeves are pretty adorable. I’ll be pairing it with black
flats to match the sash.

And here is the dress I plan on wearing to the reception:

I love how twirly the reception dress is! I don’t normally
like strapless dresses, but this one fits like a dream. The dress is gorgeous as-is,
but I thought it could use a little sash.

What do you think, hive? Sash or no sash?
I’m still not sure
what color shoes I should wear with it. Ivory? Gold glitter? Peach? I need your opinion on sashes and shoes!!!
