OOTD 1/8/11

Wedding day OOTD!

Remember I told you guys about my high school BFFs wedding this past weekend? Well, I have OOTD pics for you!

My husband is a dodo-bird and didn't know how to work the zoom on my camera (LOL) but here I am! I ended up wearing a different necklace (borrowed from my mom), and I threw the shawl into my pocket (yes the dress had POCKETS!!!) almost immediately, it was so annoying!

Dress: eShakti "overstock" section , $35 (here is the link to the dress, in case you'd like your own! It comes in other colors as well.)
Shoes: Lane Bryant, $25 on sale
Clutch: gift
Shawl: came with a formal gown I bought about 6 years ago, and has become my go-to shawl LOL

Here's a pic of me wearing the necklace I ACTUALLY wore, along with my sister and one of our besties:

Me, Jennicke and Christie

I LOVE Christie's necklace!

SO yeah. My husband's wedding gear ended up costing more than a formal outfit (head to toe) for me. Yay, frugality! :)

and of course, CONGRATS TO NINA AND PETE! Everything was gorgeous!!!

Um, I think I just found a reason to renew my vows!

You know I have a special place in my heart for designer Alfred Angelo...not only because he's a designer that caters to straight size and plus size brides alike, but because I wore one of his gowns on my own wedding day. Well, I happen to be a pretty big Disney fanatic, so reading this article was pretty exciting!

"Wedding outfitter Alfred Angelo has teamed up Disney on a collection of gowns inspired by those worn by princesses Ariel, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White and Tiana."

"For interested parties, the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings collection will be available in sizes 0 to 30W for $599 to $1,199 at Alfred Angelo Signature stores and select Alfred Angelo wholesale Partner Bridal Boutiques next year."
