My Social Suicide has officially commenced. I had to decline going to more events then I could shake a stick at this weekend for the sole purpose of getting a chunk of my wedding dress figured out. I spent about 12 hours on the dress this weekend. Most of that time was spent at the ironing board getting the final pleats done. I re-evaluated my previous measurements while breaking in my reception shoes. The difficult thing with this is I know what I want the exterior to look like but before that I need to figure out how the interior is going to work. With the dress being strapless I need to make sure it will stay up. Also since it is empire waist that leaves not room for any supportive boning so I need to make sure that everything is tight and stays in place without it looking like the fabric is pulling or strained. I also do not want it to be all the way to the floor since I have some fabulous shoes that need to see the daylight.
My main work station this weekend, netflix on the laptop, connected to the speaker, bottle of water, sewing machine (Brother Innovis 80) and Serger on hand. My narrow hem foot has been my best friend in finishing all my hems for this silk organza extravaganza.
The one night I went out was to a friend's 30th Birthday Party which was just a house party with a bonfire & pinata. I wore mostly casual but most importantly I got to break out my new Dr. Scholl's (yes I will wear old lady shoes) flat wooden sandal and you can see my natural hair color.

Baby Blue Swatch
Finally my hair color as it was Saturday. I plan to put some baby blue into it and get more of that blondish yellow out of it.but overall keeping to a green/turquoise coloring.
