Purdy bride ensemble

I promised myself to be more friendly to my blog. I felt the need to be more personal and loving towards my ideas and thoughts. Then I realized, I'm due to get married in 6 weeks! I'm lucky if I remember to breath. Last night, I realized I have a big shower at the end of the month, a ladies lunch in, engagement photos, a rehearsal dinner, and a bachelorette party. Have I thought about what I was wearing to all these event. Kinda but not really. Then I started to go through my closet. In the past year, I bought bride friendly clothes. Things I knew would come in handy. In honor of the wedding planning, which has it great moments, I decided to show some of the wonderful textures, bead work, and ruffles that will be part of the wedding week wardrobe.

New Shoes!

The other day, I was sitting at my computer reading fashion blogs. Some may say, I was daring to open Pandora's Box. Due to my tight budget (thank you wedding coming up) this was not a wise idea. Surfing the fashion blogs, while the thoughts running through my head were- oh the beautiful purses, I need those shoes, ruffles, i love ruffles. Lately, I have convinced myself to wear all the clothes in my closet. In an effort to save money and to stop buying new stuff all the time.

Thank you to Green Wedding Shoes. This was just what I needed as I continue on my love for everything in my closet before I bring new things in.

The shoes I used were a pair of black Nina shoes I bought at Dillard's three years ago. I never wore them because they were too plain for my taste. NOW, I can't wait to wear them since the upgrade!

I didn't have clear fishing wire but I used thread the same color as the fabric instead. Worked out perfectly for me!
