I am on a mission.
My mission involves two specific colors:
cobalt blue
&
mustard yellow
WHY?
Because 10 days from today my little brother is marrying this goddess of a bride to be,
And I for one, would like to please her.
(I so enjoy pleasing a beautiful goddess, don’t you?)
She picked cobalt blue and mustard yellow as her wedding colors. Aren’t they fun? I love them!
Because I am me, I cannot be content to just look for something for myself. OH, NO! I must outfit the entire wedding party. So dear sisters and sisters-in-law (and sisters of my future sister-in-law) if you see something you like here let me know and it shall be thine.
Here is what I have come up with so far.
These two sweaters from Ann Taylor (on a super sale)
Any takers? I was thinking of Brynn, Allison or Tess…
Now, Sam – I know that gray is neither cobalt blue nor yellow – but as the groom will be in gray I thought that a little gray chucked into the mix will not mess with things too much – at least I hope this will be the case, cuz my dress is gray, and so are the flower girls dresses (if you’ll recall)
I found this necklace. Mom, you have any interest in this puppy?
Found these gloves at J. Crew for $12.00. I was planning on wearing these, but can get more if anyone has interest in them. There was also a matching scarf. Any takers?
Ah, the ELECTRIC BLUE tights – got these for $6.00. I don’t think I can pull these off (or on for that matter). But I thought that maybe Betta or Rosie might just have the sort of fashion daring to make these work. Again, if more than one person wants these, I can get more.
I think that I am going to wear this head band, as modeled by the lovely Millie.
On a side note, check this out – does not this mustard yellow frame look perfect with your engagement photo, dear Sam and Chas?
It is placed right here, on my desk so that I might look upon it on a regular basis. It fills me with J O Y!
The end.
For now.

Just kidding there is a P.S. to this post as well.
Brynn, looksies what I finally got for you –
Those herringbone tights!! Only I paid around 7 dollars for them (they were 30% of 9.99, suckaz!) I will bring them out with me when we see you next weekend.

Thanks for the tights, Lize! I do love them! And you’ve done excellent work, yet again, on finding some excellent wedding items. I should really call and consult you about what I should wear to this little shin-dig…

Much love. Maybe I’ll buy my first “maternity” item in cobalt blue or mustard yellow just for the occasion. Or I’ll just find some cobalt blue leggings…
Wahoo! I’m excited to see you all, and in such color! 🙂
