I thought my days of lounging around the house while it snowed buckets outside were over upon graduating high school…

but surprise! SNOW DAY!

Unfortunately, Mr. Chickadee is not so lucky… so while he’s working hard I’m spending the day doing productive things… you know, like walking around in my wedding shoes and veil. Breaking in my shoes, pretending to be America’s Next Top Model, same thing, right? Right.

As you may remember, I’m the bee suffering from veil-a-phobia, so the fact that I was wandering through a bridal shop, fell in love with a veil (that actually looked right on my head!) and took it home with me that day is a little bit surprising. But I guess when you know, you just know.

My veil’s short and perky (just like me!) and I think it’ll add a lovely bit of whimsy to my wedding day ensemble.

On the same day I found my veil (which, I should mention was also the day we chose bm dresses and got my mom’s dress), I also picked out my shoes. This was, again, a total impulse buy.

My mom, sister, aunts, and cousins (why yes, I do travel with an entourage) were wandering around Woodfield Mall, enjoying some smoothies, when we decided to swing by Macy’s. In the shoe section, I found these beauties, and seriously, within 5 minutes of walking into the store, I was at the cash register paying. They’re perfect with a peep toe, short heel, and jewel accent! They’re Caparros, style: Vincente.

Despite these items being bought on complete and utter whims, I really really love them! I think I’m starting to discover that agonizing over every little decision will only cause this whole wedding planning process to be an utter nightmare. Sometimes it’s best to just run into a store, buy what you need, and run out before you can have second thoughts!
