I don’t know if you read Kelly’s blog, but I really enjoyed her Recession Dressing post last week. I have had lots of clothing items to buy over the last few weeks/months with our upcoming wedding. I have a fabulous bridesmaids dress* from J.Crew that I can’t wait to share, my mom made Ella’s flower girl dress so I don’t have that to worry about and we’ve already picked up Sweet Daddy’s groomsman attire. I did need a new dress for the bridal shower, the bridesmaid’s luncheon and the rehearsal dinner, not to mention shoes for some of those events and shoes for Ella.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but money is scarce these days. For everyone. It doesn’t really keep me from shopping (unfortunate, says SD), but it does have me paying special attention to where I buy things and what I spend. I found a dress for the shower and luncheon at TJMaxx a few weekends ago and both were $29. I have found Ella’s shoes, I just need to order them – hopefully that will happen tomorrow. I finally decided on an outfit for the rehearsal dinner and I’m so excited. The most exciting thing, perhaps, is how much I spent!!
I got the dress above from Walmart, of all places, for $25. They have 97 cent shipping on clothing items and it is due to be delivered tomorrow. I got the necklace and earring below from SamMoon.com and they were $9.95 together! Also due to be delivered tomorrow. Thanks to Kelly for the suggestions and UPS for the speedy delivery.
I also got those cute gladiator sandals at Payless for $22 and they came yesterday. I am in love. They are so much cuter in person and even better on the foot. Maybe once all of my pieces come tomorrow I’ll try it all on together. And because I couldn’t possibly resist, I got Ella these gladiator sandals, too. How cute will we be? Thanks for indulging my self-centered post. It was fun!
