Love it but not…

December 12, 2011

During my search for a gown, only three dresses left a lasting impression. Fortunately, I wasn’t put in the position to pick between the three, which was great.

Months ago I wrote about gown #1, my first gown I fell in love with but wasn’t willing to risk purchasing (here). Well, dress #2 was going to be the ONE. I was days away from making a final decision; I only had to justify paying the additional $300.00 for the belt that I think looked great with the dress. But, (I know, there’s a but) well lets see the dress first.

(Sorry, the pics are a bit blurry!)

Loved it in the color that I tried in on..Oyster, but disliked it in Ivory!! The dress in ivory didn’t have the same effect or glow. So the IT dress was placed on the chopping blocks once I saw it in ivory. So there you have it, the ending of dress #2. 
And if you’re wondering why I just didn’t get it in oyster, well it didn’t work well with the wedding colors I wanted to use.

You got me Crew!

March 16, 2011

So I fell in love with this simple and oh so gorgeous dress from J. Crew. Yes, J. Crew! It has no lace, no beads and not overly done with embellishments, just my kind.  To top it off it’s at a reasonable price, which triples the points in my book.  It was the first wedding gown that I could actually see myself in. Next call of duty was to search for a (wedding) store locally, to my surprise, nothing came up within a 50 miles radius….NOTHING!!! Why??

I fell in love with the dress but couldn’t commit, in other words, loved it but not going to risk ordering without trying it on. The thought of purchasing the dress and the gown not looking the way I envisioned on, was a dreadful thought on its own. In the end I decided to lay my first dress love affair to rest.

Blindsided

This year started off with a blessing as I birthed my precious third baby. Two months later I find myself hospitalized for sickle cell crisis not once but twice. I never deemed myself a sickle cell warrior as I grew up watching my other sisters deal with this disease a lot worse than I ever […]

Fear in Vulnerability

I recently shared on instagram some personal trials. I stated it was a long, vulnerable transparent post; which it was! I originally came on here (the blog) to paste the post so it could be available on most of my platforms but I was inclined to post about fear in vulnerability instead.  I contemplated for […]
