Fall Wedding #3

I wore this dress to a Sunday morning outdoor wedding, adding a black cardigan off and on as the sun and chill alternated. (65 degrees! Brr!) The tag said Dry Clean Only and I said Yeah no that’s not happening let’s see what happens when it goes through the regular laundry it is mostly cotton after all and the dress said I’m going to get a little bit smaller and lose some of the fluidity in the skirt and otherwise be fine. I might take some of the volume out of the now-bell-shaped skirt, and I’m considering dyeing it to lose the white piping. Decisions, decisions!

Congratulations to Brandon and Wendy, who had a lovely and personal wedding. Best wishes as you begin your marriage.

See how my top half appears to be a different color than my legs? I guess it’s time to start taking pictures somewhere besides my apartment, where winter light slips into the north-facing balcony with reluctance and ignores everything below the patio walls.
