dressed obsessed


morning! i have been working on a project for about 5 days now and i have found myself obsessed with dresses--well, i guess i love dresses no matter what, but it's been especially consuming lately ;) i was actually joking with a friend the other day about how i think i could have a blog solely dedicated to dresses...and of course i would want to "test them out" first. you know, to make sure i would be able to give my complete review on them...i guess that is just an excuse to wear fabulous clothing all the time--i don't think my husband would go for that.

anyway! so i though in "honor" of my obsession i would dedicate this week to some fabulous dress finds! so first, this is for the maids. do your best girls a nice favor and pick out dresses that are not only flattering but chic too! they want to feel pretty on your big day too--well, of course not more than you :) and as much as i don't even want to think about fall (here in oregon, we haven't had a day over 70 in like 2 weeks!!! eh.), here are some good choices for fall weddings--or anytime really. but don't get stuck in an orange and brown rut just because it's harvest time! go for some color; muted brights and soft hues of pink and blue are good choices too!! so i hope you enjoy this--which ones do you like?? let me know. my fav? the green dress. love the back!!

I think my fav is the navy one. love the flowy material. If one of your colors was navy what would you have the guys do for tuxes? still black? just curious what our style guru thinks... :o)

good question!
navy and black is so "in" right now, so you could definitely go with back. your men could also be in a chino suit of any color of brown--perhaps a navy tux?? you can pretty much do anything you want. just make sure it all ties together.
