something blue


Isn't this skirt stunning? This photo is from Blueprint magazine a few years back and when I turned to this page it was love at first sight. I loved it so much in fact, that when I was planning my wedding I decided that this is how I wanted my wedding dress to look. It took me forever to find the right fabric and my mom was so good to sew it up for me-but then I could never find a top to go with it. I really looked everywhere and to no avail. Talk about drama.

A few weeks before my bridals I had to face the facts that I needed a plan B, and fast. Lo and behold, I found this blue dress at a vintage shop, and despite it being very different from my beloved skirt I fell in love all over again. It reminded me of a summer picnic-and that was how we wanted our wedding to feel. You can still spy my yellow skirt in the outfit though....
