Catching My Breath

polka2

These past few days have been kind of crazy!  I've been trying to get everything ready for our wedding on Friday.  It doesn't matter how prepared you think you are, it's really never enough.  I tend to be an "over-planner" so I think I drive myself a little nuts for no apparent reason.  The truth is, if I wasn't completely overwhelmed, I'd probably be a little worried!

Top- H&M
Skirt- H&M (remixed)
Shoes- Jessica Simpson
Scarf (worn as headband)- Modcloth
Tights- H&M
Necklace- UrbanOG

This shopping ban is starting to get hard.  It's not like I don't have anything to chose from, but I'm sure you know the feeling of being completely uninspired by your wardrobe.  I guess it's just more of a challenge, but it's so much easier to go out and buy something exciting and new!  I'm still staying true to my promise...  I just hope I can resist the temptation to shop!

xoxo

  9. Don't stress. I know that is easier said than done, but just try to be excited rather than stressed. You will enjoy the moments leading up to it much more. It's such a special time in your life. Try to savour it and remember what you are feeling right now. It's a fleeting instant in your life...don't rush...slow down enough to breathe it all in. I guarantee you won't regret taking the time to appreciate the details and emotions of it all.

    That is the same scarf I have : ) So cute on you around the head.

  15. You don't look uninspired this this. I love how there's juuuuust a hint of Americana/vintage going on (maybe the headband does it?).

    Good luck as the wedding draws nearer!

  17. So perfectly Rosie the Riveter! Love it!

    I tried to do the whole shopping ban thing this month. I went shopping not once, not twice, but THREE times. Although it was definitely my mom's fault. She made me drive her to the mall all three times, so I couldn't resist.

  21. I can't believe your wedding is so soon! I hope you get a chance to breath, I'm sure it will all go smoothly. You'll have to keep us updated on the My Fair Wedding Thing too :) And I totally get you on the shopping ban thing. It is TOUGH. Luckily, everything you already own is adorable. I love how you wore this scarf and I especially love the necklace!
