Wedding Weekend!

One of those things that can really make you feel old and unmarried is watching your baby cousin get married! However, I was too completely over the moon happy for him that I can't even be bitter haha! One life milestone at a time for me... Step 1: Finish Grad School :)

I could get into my rant about how women feel like they need to get married right away, but I will save that for another blog post! 

The wedding was absolutely beautiful and very simple... which I love! I am not a big fancy, shmancy wedding person and they definitely did it right! So congrats to the happy couple and I cannot believe my little Michael Shane is all grown up! [And I must add that I'm only 11 months older than him, but he's still the baby haha]

Well, I will begin with the morning of the wedding because my mom and I had to go shopping. My mother has a huge closet full of clothes... most of which are waaay too big for her. My mom has lost a great deal of weight and looks fabulous now [and quite stylish. May I add that we are pretty much the same size now so her closet is my closet when I'm home hehe]. Anywaaay, she had nothing to wear to the wedding because everything was too big. 

I title this OOTD: My mom is the only person that can convince me to leave the house without washing my hair.

I know, I know.... you shouldn't wash your hair everyday, especially if you color your hair. Well, I was blessed with hair that gets oily very quickly so noooo thank you. However, if my hair is curly, I can work with that and deal with my second day hair.

Thank goodness, I did not wake up with a fro which often I do when I go to bed with my hair styled. I was able to run some damp hands through it to reactivate some product and scrunch it a bit to make it look like I meant for it to look this way haha

Forest Green [or green in general] is a color that I have never really worn before. I just have not found it to be very flattering, but one day, I happened upon this shirt and fell in love. It is such a great color for the season, looks very put together, and is comfy at the same time! It's by the brand "Jolt". I think the lace detail is a cute accent and I always were a tank under it because I don't wanna show everything I'm working with ;)

Here is how I style this shirt for work because the lace detail makes it a bit inappropriate for the office: 

Moving on to my wedding outfit :)

Pardon the duck face... it doesn't happen often :)

My dress is from Delia's and can I just say that this dress has me written all over it! The color and the style is right up my alley. I flirt with the fine line between being too old for certain looks, but too young for others. I think this works perfectly because it is conservative, but does not make me look matronly. And even though the waist of the dress was already cinched, I always like to throw on a belt to break up the single color.

My necklace is old, but I'm pretty sure it's from Charlotte Russe. And with statement necklaces being so popular these days, I have no doubt there are similar necklaces everywhere.

I also had to through a cardigan and some pantyhose on the night of because brrrrrrrr... cold and rainy! BTW, I learned that night that I haaaaate pantyhose.

P.S. That's my mom! What a hottie! :)

Hope you enjoyed my wedding weekend outfits! I am travelling across to U.S. of A. this weekend to see my brother's family for Christmas so this week's posts will be packing and other travelling goodies! Stay tuned :)
