“Wait a second,” you say,”I thought Danie was already married.” Well, you would be correct in thinking that. I am in fact married, and have been for almost three years now. The reason for the title of this post is I decided to wear my wedding dress for today’s OOTD. I had a small, inexpensive, afternoon wedding. Thus the lack of a fancy, I will only wear once in a lifetime, dress. This dress is fun and flirty, and fit the occasion perfectly. If I remember correctly I got the dress at Younker’s, and it had a big bow on the front. I swapped out the big bow for a vintage looking brooch as my something blue. Actually, I had a lot of something blues: blue garter, blue brooch, blue jewelry including a blue stone in my wedding/engagement ring. Ok, I’m done with the trip down memory lane. Here are the pictures.
The Scoop
Dress- Younker’s w/ personal edits
Shoes- Target
The reason I started this blog was to help me be more imaginative with my clothing and accessories. I figured if I am documenting it I won’t want to be boring by either repeating the same pieces over and over, or going for plain and boring outfits. Just after starting I stumbled on Kendi Everyday. Shortly after I became a follower she issued a 30 for 30 remix challenge to her readers. I decided this would be the perfect starting point for my blog. Boy was I wrong. I jumped in the deep end without knowing how to swim. To sum this up I’m going to drop the 30 for 30 remix, and challenge myself to remix and revive my current wardrobe without the limitations of a certain number of pieces. Trust me this is a challenge in itself. I wish good luck and happy remixing to all of the others joining Kendi in her challenge. I may be down for the count this time, but next time I’ll be ready.
As my farewell to the challenge I offer you this outfit. I wore this dress plain and simple here, but today I decided to wear it how I wouldn’t have done before. If you want to see me grow out of my comfort zone and into my knowledge of style please become a follower and stick around for awhile.
Yes you read that right. Today is outfit number ten. That means I am 1/3 of the way through my challenge. Yay me!!! While getting dressed this morning I decided my summer wardrobe is pretty boring. My accessories are lacking too. Because, of my shopping restrictions I won’t be able to add the much needed, inspiring items to my wardrobe until my trip in the middle of August. By that time all of the stores will be stocked with fall items. I decided I will just have to dream about building a wonderful fall/winter wardrobe, and try to wear my current items in as many new ways as possible.
Now for some fun, “Tag you’re it!” On Modesty is Pretty she tagged us to write five random facts about ourselves. Here are mine. What about you? Let me know if you participate, so I can learn a little more about my readers.
1. I have been dancing for 18 years now. Wow…when I say it like that I feel older.
2. I married my high school sweetheart.
3. Blue is my absolute favorite color, but the hubby gave me a hard time about always purchasing blue items. Now my closet has a large amount of purple in it.
4. I have lived in the same house twice.
5. Lastly, I have a Puggle named Juno. Maybe, she will get some blog love sometime soon.
Today’s outfit had to be comfy, because, I spent a large chunk of the day at the hospital while a friend of mine had her baby. In the end she gave birth to a lovely little girl.
I’m getting home late, and can barely keep my eyes open. I will keep this post short and sweet. Sorry the pictures in this post and the last didn’t get edited due to lack of energy on my part.
