Wedding Guest Ideas

I didn't get any wedding invites this season, but the Prop 8 ruling in California has got me thinking of what I'll where when Edwin gets married someday. Here's the highlights of my online window shopping.

Fabulous Florals

Old Navy

Since I've stopped working at the Gap Inc. call center last month, I have been missing spending essentially all day online shopping. Not literally shopping of course, but spending all day on the site discussing the product with customers. While going through Gap Inc. withdrawals, I've been especially pining over some lovely floral prints at Old Navy. This is not surprising, considering that in my posts I've tagged "Old Navy" 39 times, and "floral print" 19 times.  Today I'm going to share some of my favorite florals for summer.

Musings: Prom!

It's that time of year again! I'm pretty sure I don't have very many readers in the high school age bracket, but who knows. I'm going to take a moment to share my Prom looks, philosophy (thrift store dresses and then splurge on accessories!), and suggestions for great dresses (traditional and non). While these selections are chosen with a High School Prom in mind, but many of them would also be cute for a guest at a summer wedding or other grown up event.

My thrift store dress featured a velvet bodice embellished with paillettes and a satin skirt.

I found this dress with a lovely bustle in the back at a consignment store in Palm Beach, Florida.

Well that's enough of my dresses. After the jump, there are lots more unique dresses and jewelry perfect for any evening occasion.
