My sister Courtney is getting married August 1st (yay!). It's going to be a beautiful, small beach wedding, and this is the adorable bridesmaid dress I'm wearing:
Isn't this a perfect beachy dress?? It was after-season clearance at a department store! |
Who doesn't like a dress with pockets?? Perfect for camera-stashing! |
The dress is so cute, but the problem lies in the fact that it barely goes over my hips. With a sheer fabric like this, you can't exactly have that happening. And frankly, I really don't want to have to wear spanx on a freaking hot beach in AUGUST. I suppose I should focus on the positive fact that I can get it on my body, but still....
So Tony and I have started exercising more and more, and our new goal is to not eat desserts*. It's way too easy to go grab some refreshing ice cream on a hot summer day. Sweets are my downfall, so hopefully this will keep me from overindulging.
And yes, I realize I should have done this a few months ago, not 6 weeks before the wedding....
*possible once-weekly exceptions could possibly potentially be made in extreme circumstances....
Its the cutest!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute dress!! Don't stress about your timeline, I think 6 weeks is a perfect amount to get just a lil extra wiggle room in a dress! You'll look gorgeous regardless, though! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous and unique dress for a bridesmaid. I love it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, too. Ice cream is my weakness!
SO pretty! I love the trim and the pockets. Camera in one, lipgloss in the other. I should probably join you in that no sweets pledge. Considering I just polished off the last of my birthday cake, tomorrow seems like a great day to start.
ReplyDeleteVery cute dress, dear! Don't worry--it's easier to be going through a no-sweets zone when you have someone to back you up. Good luck dear!
ReplyDeleteClaire! (It's your cousin, yes, I cyber stalk you - Busted!) The dress is so cute! Is it bad that I'm in the same boat as you, but it's my wedding dress instead?? Whoops! Oh well. I keep saying it's because I enjoy life too much to give it all up, but I guess at some point I should stop kidding myself... :o)
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! And I'm loving the dress!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is so adorable! It's not as fun, but maybe you can make the switch to sorbet or a homemade fruit granita till after the wedding?
