Picked a dress

[Veronica]

Thanks everyone. I'm pretty happy with it. I feel like it's elegant and not at at all frumpy!

Thom has to wear a tux. When we get the dress hemmed, we're going to see if we can get a pocket square made out of the extra material. I haven't picked shoes yet. I think I'll go with silver ones, something like ballet flats. I think the highest heeled shoes I have now are 1/2 inch, so certainly nothing more than an inch or so. I'd like them to be something I can imagine myself wearing some other time. And I'm not an open toed shoe person.

We're getting manicures and pedicures a two or two before the event. I'm thinking silvery polish. Thom thinks it should have glitter in it. I'm not sold on glitter. We're having hair done the morning of. I'll time my cut and color for just before we fly to Maine and I'm just going to have the stylist blow it our nicely. I've got a really beautiful diamond and platinum pendant to wear and some lovely, long, white gold earrings with small diamonds in them. The earrings kind of look like sails.

I really do NOT like to shop, so I'm happy to have the major thing out of the way before Thom's parents visit at Christmas. Shopping at Neiman Marcus is definitely a different experience from what I'm use to. Maybe I'll even go back.

I love it! Great color...great choice! Yes, definitely elegant and not frumpy at all. I'm thinking way more va-va-voom than frump!

"Frumpy" isn't even close to being on the list to describe this. Stunning, elegant, classy, and well, WOW!
