Wow-wee! Seriously, if I ever need fashion help again I'm turning to y'all immediately. That was the best thing ever. Thanks for all of the ideas, emails, links, etc. Blew me away! Y'all rock. And you will now be my future go-to stylists (besides my sister, of course), so thanks for that!! THANK YOU!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxx
Here's the update: :)
My bestie Ashley (who you "met" here) texted and told me I could wear this super cute J.Crew neon pink dress she wore to her bridal luncheon almost 3 (!!!) years ago. HOLLA! She is the besty-best-best and is shipping it to me from NOLA ASAP. So as long as it fits around the derriere and isn't too short (Ash and I have almost 6" between us), we've got a winner, y'all. Can't beat a price point like sharing clothes with gfs, right?! Cheers to that.
Surprise, AshSass! You're modeling on the blog today, hot lady! ;)
I remember swooning over her dress so much that day. It's the perfect mix of fun, bright, happy, and fitted-but-not-too-fitted, yet conservative. Obsessed! Rehearsal dinner approps fo' sho'.
If for some silly reason that dress doesn't work, here are some of my newest faves that YOU darling ladies hunted down for me! ALL 4 of the dresses below hit the jackpot in the the perfect shade of pink department PLUS the perfect price point department!
1. Petal "Queen of Hearts" * | $42 | Thank you, Erin!
Petal is one of my favorite boutiques in Charlotte! Why didn't I think of this before!!?
*Oh no! The link isn't working. I promise it was up and running yesterday. Might be out of stock? You can still browse Petal here.

3. The Blue Door Boutique "Fit and Flare Dress" | $44 | Thank you, Shelley {Little Midwest Ramblings}!
4. Charlotte Russe "Short Sleeve Scalloped Lace Shift Dress" | $29 | Thank you, Ashley Nicole {Real Life, Real Love}

Now changing gears...there is something else I'm currently crushing on besides neon pink dresses. It's Avelist. As bloggers, we are social media lovers. Plain and simple. (You know it's true! Let's own it.) And you know what else we tend to love? Lists. So, my friends, meet Avelist...founded by a sweet friend of mine who has a heart for Jesus, writing, and entrepreneurship.
Avelist is the social media of lists...from fun to trendy to motivating to informative. I won't ramble on...because y'all just need to go check it out for your sweet selves!

My favorite is the list about "Things I've Learned From Having An English Husband." :)
You'll also find a list of reasons why I blog and a list of my go-to restaurants in Charlotte.

ReplyDeleteOh my little preshy pie! You know, reading through your interview I've decided we really are one in the same. My life long goal and joy has been the idea of being a mommy. Since I was 12. I just can't wait! And lists make my heart swoon! And decor. And oh hardware, who doesn't love good hardware? XOXOXXOxoxoxo my long lost sister
ReplyDeleteAww that's so sweet--I hope the dress she sends you fits perfectly! Borrowing is a great way to get a dress for a special occasion! :)
ReplyDeleteL-O-V-E that your friend is sending you the dress you swooned over when she wore it + FREE = perfection!! I started creating a polyvore of pink prettiness to share with you yesterday and found a few lovelies for you ...buuut then mommyhood/life/homeschooling took the rest of the day {which I heart // no complaints! ;)} ...so I didn't get it completed and emailed to you -- sounds like you had PLENTY of help though {aren't friends/readers/fellow bloggers the BEST?!} & I'm tickled pink that your bestie made your day!! ... Avelist sounds amazing!!! Are you about to get me hooked on something else, sweets?! ;) . . . Love you more than words!! XxOo
