Engagement Session Outfit

We haven't picked a date to have our engagement photos yet nor have we decided on a photographer. But I have started thinking about what I'm going to wear when we do schedule them.

I bought a pair of teal jeans that I'd love to incorporate in my casual outfit, but can't quite decide on what kind of top. I can't decide on a color, a style, patterns, no patterns, sleeves, no sleeves. There are so many options and I'm not really sure what I want.

Your Special Order Has Arrived‏

That's the subject of the email I received from David's Bridal last week letting me know that the dress that I had ordered is now ready to be picked up. And I still haven't gone to get it yet.

If I had loved it I would have practically ran to the store to pick it up. The fact that I haven't made an effort in that last week to get it, let's me know that it's not the right dress. But I need to though, so that I can start the process of selling it.

If you or you know anyone who may be looking for a brand new wedding dress with no alterations done, I've got one for sale. It's a Oleg Cassini Gown Style Number 8CWG435 in White, Size 16W.



The dress looks quite different on the web than what it actually looks like on. I do have photos of myself if the dress if you'd like to see it, just shoot me an email at teamjenkins79 (at) gmail (dot) com.

I Found a Wedding Dress...

My mother, future mother-in-law, maid of honor & I made our way to David's Bridal in Mesquite for my appoinment on my birthday 9/16 and the search for my wedding dress began.

My wedding consultant was pleasant but didn't really add much to my overall experience. I showed her what styles I was interested in and she brought a few dresses that were similar to start off with. I was alittle bummed that that store didn't carry the DB Studio line, but I was game to try on different dress styles anyways.

I will say that I was open to either an ivory or white dress but after trying on my first dress in ivory I quickly realized that it didn't work with my skin tone. The white dresses looked much, much better on me. The selection of dresses the store had in stick was alrigh, but I didn't like that they didn't have very many options of one shoulder dresses which I really wanted to try on.

After trying on about the fifth dress and still not loving anything, with the consultants permission I made my way around the store to pick a few out myself. And found two or three that I liked and wanted to try on.

My appointment was coming to an end and I was down to my last dress and still hadn't found something that I loved. As I walked out of the room with my finally dress on I loved it. I felt pretty. I felt like a bride. And then they 'jacked' me up with a headband and jewelry and I was sold. Kinda. I asked if I could walk around the store in the dress to get a feel for the dress and see how comfy it was. When I came back from my tour around the store, I said YES TO THE DRESS! And I bought it.

Two days later though, I woke up and thought to myself what had I done. I had a picture of myself in the dress and when I looked at it I knew it wasn't me. I looked the dress up online and hated it. It's a VERY pretty dress, but it isn't me. It's not something I would normally pick and I'm not sure why I did that day. Since we're planning a destination wedding, this was the first experience with anything wedding related that wasn't online or in a magazine. Plus, it was my birthday and I thought it was the coolest thing to have my wedding dress as the best birthday present ever.

Soooo I still need to find MY wedding dress and within the next few months I'll be at it again. But this time, I know not to get something unless I absolutely love it. And since I tend to get buyers remorse, I might have to leave it at the store and if I can't stop thinking about it go back and get it days later.









Sorry for the picture quality, they were taken with my iPhone. (Non of these dresses are the one that I bought)
