I've Got a Dress!

I've looked at a lot of styles of dresses, but the one I've had my heart set on is this fouf-y empire-waisted number from J.Crew:



However, J.Crew doesn't carry this dress anymore, and even if they did it would be way out of our budget. We'd much rather spend money on other things than a dress I'm either never going to where again or will have turned into a cocktail dress.

But, I have ended up with a J.Crew dress. I won't tell you which one - you'll have to wait and see! Two awesome things about it are that (1) my mom won it off of ebay for a bargain price and (2) I'm going to be able to dress it up with some seriously funky accessories, inspired by some of the looks I've seen on Offbeat Bride.

Dress Shopping

Today was my first attempt at dress shopping. I went with my mom and a friend to Unbridaled on South First. It was a very cute store, and the staff were incredibly nice and helpful. The in-store selection is small, but they can order any dress from the designers they carry. For someone like me who is not looking for a poufy princess dress, they have a great selection. Even if I don't get my dress from them, I still highly recommend Unbridaled.

This isn't the dress, by the way.
