Engagement Pics - The Bestie

My best friend is getting married! I am so excited for her. She had her engagement pictures taken this weekend and she asked me to go with her to help her shop for an outfit.

Her style is very relaxed and comfortable. She's a teacher so she has to abide by dress codes and be on her feet most of the day. But for her engagement pictures she wanted to wear something a little more special. I feel like I had her trying on almost everything in the store. But that's kind of my style motto, "Try on everything, you'll never know what you'll fall in love with." Things can look atrocious on the rack, but if there is something that catches your eye, a color, a print, a collar, whatever it is, try it on.

Check out some of the outfits she tried on. I know what she bought but not sure what she chose to wear. She did some more shopping after our trip.

She was super nervous about the shoot today, but I know she looked gorgeous no matter what she decided the wear. She's beautiful and in love, what else does she need.

All outfits are from Anthropologie (one of my very favorite stores).

I really liked this dress but she felt it was too casual. Which I can understand

Look at that tiny waist. Love the lace sleeves


Pretending to dance :)

She didn't like this dress. But the color is fantastic. I think it would have worked if not for the neckline.



I just wanted her to try this on for the heck of it. She ended up buying it for work. The blazer is extra soft.


One of my favorites. So pretty

One of her favorites. She picked out the dress. I added the belt. I thought this  one was too casual.


Which is your favorite?

Great Weekend

Friends, I have had such a great weekend. I think it must have something to do with the weather. After having almost 2 weeks of cold, rain, and clouds we finally got some sun. So I spent some time hiking and also shopping this weekend. Before you scold me, don't worry, I didn't spend any money, my mother took me shopping (she's amazeballs btw) and it was for charity.

This past Saturday we had Fashion for a Fraction where local boutiques (and e-tailers) sale their clothes at a discount and the entry price went to Monroe Harding. My church is a huge supporter of Monroe Harding so I couldn't say no.

There were a lot of great deals but there were two online retailers that had some really cute and really affordable clothing. If you get a chance you should check them out. I'm sure you'll see some of my purchases on here in the near future.

Also please please checkout the great work that Monroe Harding is doing
