Wedding Wardrobe Update!

I spent the entire afternoon and evening Monday braving torrential, heavy winds, and COLD. I was on a mission for shoes. I needed a cardigan too, but the main objective was to find the perfect shoe to match my dress. I wanted a round or almond toe pump with at least a 3-inch heel, in black patent (to match the patent belt on my dress). Simple, right? Not so much. I went to at least ten stores, including discount department stores such as Marshall’s. I couldn’t find a single shoe I liked under $50. I won’t bore you with all the details of how I didn’t eat all day, was cold and wet, so tired that my eyes were sunken, and I had a meltdown in Target. Short story: I ended up in Target where I found the perfect shoe for $20. The problem was, there was one in my size…with GUM ALL OVER IT. Good grief. I gave up and went home for some sleep.

Today I lowered my expectations from “perfect” to “suitable” and set out in search for shoes. I made a quick run into Cato where I used to work. A lot of times, I can find some great treasures in there. There, sitting in the clearance section for $9.99 was a pair of shoes exactly like what I wanted, except in suede. They were reasonably comfortably, wonderfully priced, and with the shiny heel to match my patent belt, I was sold! I haven’t taken a picture of them, but these are close:

I am in love with the cardigan I bought. I found it in Forever 21 and I just know I’ll wear it over and over!

I am so excited to be done shopping for outfits! I can’t wait to do a lookbook on our outfits, complete with budget breakdown! Now I just have to get my hair cut (tomorrow!) and do my nails.

I’M GETTING MARRIED FRIDAY!!!!
