Frock Me Friday > We're Going To A Bridal Shower -- Again!

Our bride to be is having her "Not Clan" Bridal Shower on Sunday at a local winery and believe it or not the weather is saying it's supposed to be 84 degrees that day!  

I have found the perfect dress on Polyvore and accessorized it with all the items that I wish were in my wardrobe.  My dream is that after making a styleboard on Polyvore I could press the print button and my in home dressmaker (like your printer - but makes a dress with fabric) would work away and then out would come the dress and not only would it fit but it would be very flattering on me!  Of course this magical machine would also spit out the accessories, handbags and shoes!!!  Okay back to reality or Polyvoreality.

I know I like to use my existing wardrobe and build on it but sometimes a special occasion like a bridal shower calls for a special outfit - especially if you are the mother of the groom.

I should have added a hat - not just any hat - but a wide brimmed southern belle type of hat.  I had to include a pair of wedges with this because while I'm a pump girl, wedges are much easier to navigate if you are outside on the lawn.  I really, really, really, love those sunglasses, but sadly I don't have $230 to spend on something that I will scratch, bend, and eventually lose or break.  I can't be trusted with a nice pair of sunglasses.  If anyone knows where I can get a more reasonably priced version of those, let me know.


I did not go completely over the top with this outfit because I can use the pieces in this outfit and mix it up with my existing wardrobe for some cute outfits.  That sweater is very versatile and would go with a ton of things in my Polyvore wardrobe.  Check it out.

Happy Frock Me Friday.  Don't forget to let me know if you find those sunglasses!

Frock Me Friday > The Sun Has Come Back!

In between the wind, rain, and snow (true story) coming down around here, I caught a (gasp!) glimpse of the sun. Me, with my winter pale skin and sensitive eyes, squinted up at those joyous rays of light like one of those cave creatures who had never seen the sun before. Then I ran inside before the sun disappeared again, to grab my favorite pair of sunglasses. A chorus of angels sang (well, maybe that was just me)as the sun had liberated them from the dark drawer, I had thrown them in months ago...

The sun is back everyone, and while this may not be as dramatic to you as it was to moi; it does mean that it's time to break out those fabulous sunglasses you've been dying to wear!

 Cheap Well priced sunglasses are one of my very favorite accessories. I think I inherited this obsession from my Dad. He's never met a pair of gas station sunglasses he didn't love. Some people collect magnets from places they've been, my Dad collects sunglasses. I'm also the worst at remembering where I've left my sunglasses and I have three boys and two dogs that love to destroy things; so I often buy sunglasses in multiples to avoid the inevitable melt down when I find my favorite pair stuck in the toilet. It's happened before...  

So today I've rounded up a few chic and well priced sunglasses with this season's trends - just in case you can't find yours or they are in a toilet somewhere.
