Mrs. Magic, Chapel Hill, NC Age and Occupation: 30, Licensed Clinical Social Worker Fiance's Age and Occupation: 30, Researcher Engagement Date: December 1, 2009 Wedding Date: October 2011 Venue: Barn at Valhalla About Me: I’m a tall drink of water (5’10”!) and a Southern bride with an enormous appetite for Mexican food, good deals, anything French, and all things wedding! By day I am lucky enough to work with individuals with autism and their families. By night, I’m even luckier to be able to spend time hanging out with awesome friends, crafting, shopping, thinking about exercising, and kicking it with Mr. Magic and our two cats. I tend to have sudden, intense cravings that will not be denied (seafood enchiladas! new jeans!) and I’m prone to being a disorganized mess of anxiety and stress. After waiting (and waiting!) to get engaged, I am finally planning the colorful, fun, fabulously awesome Fall wedding of our dreams. In an effort to share the fun and craziness that is wedding planning, I’m gonna blog about it for y’all---the good, the bad, and the pretty!

Fashion Advice From a Sloth

September 13th, 2011 @ 12:46 pm by Mrs. Magic

Mrs. Sloth, that is.

So, Mrs. Sloth said her goodbyes yesterday and I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little sad about it [sniff sniff]. I met her in real life, and I was all like “OMG, Mrs. Sloth, all my friends and I just think you are the coolest thing since sliced bread. They are all like so totally jealous that I am hanging out with you right now. Can I get a picture?”

In her other life, she provides some awesome fashion advice. I love to read her blog What The Frock for a number of reasons. 1. It’s a super cute blog design. 2. I always wanna look like a celebrity on the cheap. And 3. You (yes, you!) can write to her and get real live (OK, live over the internets) advice on your very own personal dilemma.

So, I sent her my very own personal dilemma with the white, shiny dress and she tried to fall it up for me (although she says the white is fine, she does think it is too shiny for a casual bbq and I TOTALLY agree!).

Seychelles Shoes $70 - ASOS Bag $39

I am totally digging that top from Anthropologie, but I do think the dress is just too freakin’ shiny. Plus, I just got these boots in the mail today…

I bought them on Gilt for much less than their price on Endless, but I still feel kinda guilty about buying them at all when every last cent should be going to the wedding or my new business. But…if I wear them for the rehearsal dinner, does that make it better?

So, I think the shiny white dress is out, and the boots are in. Just got to find another dress, or skirt, to go with the boots now. This is getting…well, “ridiculous” is the only word that comes to mind.

Have you ever obsessed over an event outfit this much? Is it because it’s much easier to obsess over clothes than, say, seating charts and RSVPs?

I think this is totally normal. I obsess about my outfits on a daily basis. I just want to say I love that outfit Miss Sloth put together for you! And I love those boots.

That top is awesome! I also love love love the boots! I am so excited for fall!

Never feel guilty for purchasing a pair of boots that you will get so much use out of! I wore my brown riding boots so much last year that I am now in need of a new pair. :)

Oop, not logged in. Also, just found the list of bee names for personal messages, for which that might have been more appropriate. Apologies to the hive!

(Btw, I, too, love the boots!)

Those boots are amazing. I can see them with skinny trousers (please wear real pants and not leggings!) and one of those loose cape-y sweaters that’s the length of a mini dress. Can you wear pants to your dinner? Is that not bridal? Well, if you don’t mind, I bet it would look great.
