Home sick today. For whatever reason yesterday really took it out of me and this cough/cold has gotten the better of me. I felt like I could barely breathe trying to go to bed last night. It actually feels an awful lot like the cough I had when I had bronchitis a couple years ago. I would prefer to avoid that scenario again, so I'm in bed resting, and maybe doing a few things around the house today, hoping that with a few more doses of robitussin I won't have to make a trip to the doctor.
Over the weekend I didn't get much of anything done, as I wasn't feeling well, but I did work on a couple more inspiration boards. I think I'm still looking for direction. Or it's just fun to make them. Either way.
I was watching "Say Yes to the Dress" on Sunday morning, and saw an episode where one bride was trying on "Sunday Rose" by Monique Lhuillier - a dress I kind of like (I can't decide, keep changing my mind), but Johnny saw it and HATES it. He doesn't like big poofy dresses or ballgowns at all... the complete opposite of me. So I'm trying to figure out how to find a dress that I will still feel like a princess, and have a dress that exemplifies my personality and the dream dress I've always envisioned, but that is also figure flattering, somewhat form-fitting, and thus pleasing to the man. Ugh, I have no idea. I am totally lost on the dress front lately.
Anyway, the first inspiration board features that dress, and the second one just became a group of pretty, soft, vintage-y feeling images. Lots of flowers, vintage, lace, pastel colors, details... it's hard because I love this look, but it's a bit tough to marry it with my color - the peacock blue - and some of the more formal details I like for a wedding. I guess that's why I still need to make inspiration boards... until I figure out which direction this is really going! Oh yes, I've also been throwing beach and ocean images into these, since our venue is on the water, and we are planning on incorporating elements of Maine, summer, the beach, etc. somehow into this thing.
That's all for now... My one goal today (besides resting) is to finish gluing the paper dolls for the bridesmaids cards... then I can get them out by the end of the week hopefully! Yay!
Oh wow! Love the dress. I don't like puffy dresses though...but I think it is because I am too short.
ReplyDeleteI also started my bridesmaids cards like a month ago and am not done...ADHD at its best!
I like that dress, but think there are others that would look better on you. But of course I need to see it on you- AKA we need a trip to Kleinfelds soon!
