Pack It All In

Yesterday was a busy day.  So sorry I missed you!  And this is the last week of July!  Who’s not depressed by that?!

I am choosing not to be depressed.  I could look at my summer bucket list and all that I have not crossed off yet and be sad.  Or I could look at the last few weeks of summer as a chance to squeeze in as much fun as possible.  And I also can reflect on all the wonderful days we’ve spent with friends and busy with life, accomplishing so much.

I’m going to focus on the positive.  And I’m also going to get busy.  I have projects to start to finish and to dream about.

And I’m going to show you anything that I’ve been working on.

Don’t be down!  Savor each day like the gift it is!  And be sure to pack it all in.

Wedding Week- White Tie

While it may be rare, there does exist one more label on the wedding invitation that may give you pause, white tie.

Basically, if you see this on your invitation, you need to be in a formal.  That means a long evening gown.  The men will probably be in tails and there may even be gloves involved. Think an invitation to the White House.

I know your maxi dress is a long dress but this does not qualify as a formal.  And as much as I loath the LBD, this is the time to dust off that black formal that you keep in your closet for such emergencies.  This is a dress that can be worn again and again.

The same rule as for the black tie invite applies:  be careful not to look like a bridesmaid in a pastel dress with no detailing.  Make sure you have a clutch and not a clunky mom bag. Wear your nicest jewelry.  Think elegance!

Thanks for a great wedding week!

Wedding Week- Black Tie

I’ve posted many a time about what it means when the invitation says “black tie.”  You can read more about that here.

What’s the short version?  Don’t show up in your cotton daydress.  Put on the jewelry that you feel is a little too fancy for work or the playground.  DRESS UP.  You should feel comfortable in a cocktail dress.

One other thing to keep in mind.  Solid color dresses may wind you up in the bridesmaid category.  So be weary.  Also, NEVER wear a white dress to a wedding.  The End.  🙂
