I have big plans this weekend – HUGE plans. Krista – a bestie – is getting married! And this is probably the last wedding I’ll be in {unless a friend decides to do it again!}
Our dresses are phenomenal! I would love to tell you that I look hot in my dress, but I’m afraid that 4 kids later and this body will never equal “hot,” unless “flashes” come after the word “hot.” But it is soooo comfortable! AND let’s face it – that is what matters!

Our dresses are not black, but robin’s egg blue. And I’m not that skinny. And fortunately, we will not be laying on anything during the wedding. So, although this is the dress, it really isn’t the best representation. But I’m sure you get the picture.
Now, the shoes have been the biggest headache for me. Silver seemed to be the color that was agreed upon because a few of the girls’ had some already. Notice I said “some” – this home-girl did not. First off I don’t wear silver anything except 2 of my wedding bands are white gold so I change up my gold ones if I feel like it. I’ve been searching for weeks. Prom around the corner, I really thought it would be easy.
I did find a ton, but none that screamed to me . . . . . until last night.
The heavens parted as these came into view
I seriously smile every time I look at these. Quite possibly because I’m cracking up when I next see this
I think she loves them more than me.
This is not an easy feat – especially for these small feet in my 6 1/2 shoe.
This will probably be the shoes I keep forever because she loves them so much.
As for me – I don’t know if I will wear these again. And I’m sure my love for them will quickly turn into hate on Saturday when I have to wear them all day – in the grass. I hope I’ll have some pictures for you guys next week of the big day. I really want to do another post on “my favorite things” but about favorite wedding things. If I can get my hand on some pictures of those, I’ll definitely do that post next week!

You are going to look SMOKIN! Pics please
I too am in a wedding (wearing a blue dress) and I am searching for silver shoes. I have not been able to find a pair of silver strappy shoes (bride’s request). I do love the sparkles that you have but those would be much to fancy for my need. I hope you have a great time at the wedding!
Keep them!! My grandmother had a red sparkly pair (very similar to yours) that my cousins and I used to play dress-up and they were allllllll sorts of fabulous. Somewhere along the way they were lost or taken to Good will which is a tragedy. I would LOVE to still have them today!
be sure to bring a cute pair of flats or flip flops to wear during the reception
Oh, I LOVE those shoes!! SO cute! Hope you have great time this weekend!
Hi!! Love the shoes! I too am in a wedding in 2 wks and need silver shoes…have been searching with no luck. Love these, where did you find them? Not sure I can handle the heel but we’ll see
Have a great time at the wedding! Also…have you disclosed any info on how you are going to handle the waitlist and taking orders again? I just don’t want to miss the info 
Thanks!
I have my Italian drip beef in the crockpot as I type! Can’t wait to try it!! Thanks for sharing the recipe with us!
That is adorable! my daughter tries to walk in my shoes. I am afraid she is going to wind up with a broken neck. It is too cute though.
