What I Wore Wednesday [Plum]

Happy hump day lovelies! I hope you're having a great day! To keep with the trend of wedding talk [wedding brain], my WIWW outfit will be all about what I wore to our close friends' wedding this past weekend.

I searched high and low for the perfect cute, comfy, not too dressy dress for the wedding. I was helping with setup and acting as guest book attendant, so I wanted to look my best-but not over dressed. So, after tons of shopping around, I found this beauty.

Isn't the bride beautiful?!

She fit perfectly! I was definitely comfortable and I got a ton of compliments!
I'll enjoy wearing this dress again and again.

The dress came from one of my most trusted/favorite go to stores for dresses---Kohl's! If you don't already, you should start shopping there for all of your dress needs. They always have the cutest dresses and they are beyond affordable!

[You can find the dress here--it's even on sale!]

P.s. I wore a silver cuff (Target), my beautiful engagement ring and medium sized
silver ball earrings (also from Kohl's). Simple and understated, no? : )

Wedding Brain

Well, it's official ladies...I have wedding brain [similar to baby brain, no?]. Why, you ask?? Because I'm engaged!!

It didn't happen at a baseball game, but this is where we told some of our friends

It happened last Wednesday at home. Ryan definitely surprised me! It was intimate and special, and I'll never forget that moment.

Although I did mention to him that I wouldn't bug him with too many wedding questions right off the bat (or for 30 days....), I can't help but peruse the internet and pinterest gathering my favorite ideas! So far I've categorized my favorites into these categories: wedding color ideas, flowers, centerpieces, bridesmaid dress ideas, decoration ideas, and photo inspiration.

Though there are still a ton of other categories to address, these have been my main focus so far. I feel like if I make a few preliminary decisions on these details, I'll have an easier time picking out the big things down the road.

Here are a few of my favorite details so far!

What did you focus on during your first month of planning? We'll be engaged for a while, so I'm in no rush to finalize anything, but it's fun looking through the million ideas online!

What I Wore Wednesday [Derby]

Hello ladies! I've been a terrible blogger [again] this week....this I know. I promise to post a Derby recap as soon as I get a free minute in the evening! Until then, I'll share with you my outfit from the big day this past weekend [Derby], as this week's What I Wore Wednesday outfit!

While we did have a blast this past weekend, I have to admit that my favorite parts (as usual), were seeing my friends and getting dressed up!!

This peachy dress [+belt] is from Forever21, the hat is from Kohl's, the shoes are BCBG, and my jewelry [thick silver bangle and silver outlined pearl earrings] came from Target!
