bridesmaid's dress

my little sister is getting married in september of this year. we finally picked our bridesmaid's dress! it's a bari jay dress, made of starlet taffeta and empire a-line skirt style. the photo i posted here shows in golden brown and gold sash but my sister's sash color will be a light blue. which are her wedding colors. very fall, don't you think?


granted, it's not a dress i could wear again but at least it's flattering. this one will go in the closet with 6 other bridesmaid dresses. i should really think about donating these or something...

note to self: start dieting now!

makings of a bridezilla

the strangest thing happened today. i woke this morning late. hit the snooze button like 4 times. so by the time i bolted out of bed, i was running late, obviously. when i got to the train station at harlem-125th st, i was able to catch the 6:50am train! which thankfully was about 10 minutes late. the strange thing is, when i try to catch the 6:50am train, i have to get up at 5:30am to get there in time. so, did i get ready in record time to make it somewhat on time? or was there some sort of time shift that i was luckily part of? or was i just so disoriented this morning that i got up way too early (thinking that i was late) and stressed out for nothing? i didn't think i was going to get to work til 9am. but to the contrary, i was an hour earlier than expected. so strange. i still can't figure it out...

anyway, the other good news is that i received my first two wedding magazines in the mail! no, i'm not officially engaged, YET. but i expect it to happen VERY soon. some people might called this a bit obsessive or even getting ahead of myself. but, i'm just PLANNING early. to be prepared! i don't want to rush. i have a feeling it will be a short engagement so i might as do all the legwork NOW. right??? at least, i told myself, no wedding binder til the actual engagement ring is presented! i know, i could potentially be a bridezilla in the making.

now i have to really think about where to have my sister's bridal shower in august.... i know it's still 4 months away but i know it'll creep up on me!
