Style Confessions :: The One I Had to Change

Have you ever gone through the whole process of getting ready and all dolled up only to discover that your outfit of choice is not a choice candidate for what your day has in store?  This is exactly what happened to me on Saturday.  When it comes to weddings I like to dress accordingly.  No, I don't want to be confused as one of the bridal party or anything, but match just enough to not stick out.  So I talked with Christina about what the colors were etc. etc. and came up with this little number.  I loved all the color and movement in this piece and thought it would be a nice and appropriate choice for the event.  Wrong, oh so wrong.  I didn't even make it out of the driveway before this outfit was benched for some serious fouls.

The shoes are brand new and fresh out of the box.  They seemed to fit like a dream until I realized the ankle strap opinions did not provide a hole small enough for my ankles.  After a couple ankle rolls I contemplated some new footwear.

Strike One

The weather has been unseasonably warm which made perfect sense for selecting this light weight frock.  What didn't make such sense is that there was also a lot of wind for such a warm day.  Wind + Lightweight Fabric = Strike Two

Last issue is actually part of the reason I am even sharing these photos with you... my new hair!

It is Beyond the Zone in Huckleberry and it is one of the most striking blues I've seen.  Although I love it, it is fresh so I tend to avoid wearing a lot of white prior to the first shampoo.  I wasn't too concerned by the bit of white on the jacket until the forecast informed us that Fresno (where the wedding was taking place) was estimated to reach heights upward of 115 degrees.  Disgustingly hot weather + Newly Dyed Hair = Sweating my Blue off!  No need to risk staining a perfectly good crop jacket in the name of fashion right?

So there you have it.  The outfit I just had to change.  Oh well, for another day I guess.  On a brighter note I will be making a Craigslist ad for the group of peeping tom raccoons terrorizing my front porch nightly.  Free to a good home... you haul!  haha  Just follow the little clawed paw prints to inquire.

Love & Lollies...
