I'll be attending a wedding on Saturday. Yes all my friends have decided to walk the talk and walk down the aisle. This been my umpteenth wedding since March, 2008.
I could pull a number from the back of the closet. Alright, I have already pulled out a number from the back of the closet. But it's black. My closet is almost entirely black. I'm not morbid it's just that I think black rocks and so am all about black.
However, this week I've been googling guest wedding dresses and black to a wedding sounds morbid? and it's all about lavender, yellow and the other light colors. And now am frightened. I absolutely do not want to be frowned upon for wearing black to someone's wedding. But am sure as hell not going out and buying a dress in a different color. I spent a half day yesterday trying the yellows and lavenders..er..umh not my cup of tea. ACK!! I don't hate weddings but the deciding what to wear is stealing the little sanity i have left and am trying so hard to hold on to.
So what am I trying to say? because some of you might suggest I get one in a different color but as stated above I won't be doing that. Secondly, some of you might say what the heck pull the black number on them, which is what I plan to do. Yeah I am not trying to say anything. I'm just blabbering.
I've been so busy lately I've not had time for me. I've not had a bath in a long, long time and I don't have my cup of green tea to enjoy it anymore but to actually stop me from going delirious. I need away. I need to stop and take a breather. I need to leave all this madness behind. I need a day in bed to catch up on sleep. But assignments and work and just life to put it mildly have all had a way to get in the way of that.
Attending all these weddings is starting to make me feel like am living 27 dresses. Not in the good way but in a nightmarish kinda way. Oh my friends are just getting married left, right and center and the only thing keeping them from getting married soon enough is that dates are already booked. Probably by other friends of mine which could mean another wedding for me to attend LOL I kid. Or may be not :) Which reminds me I need to go watch Bride Wars because I am 'living it'
This wedding is going to be my get away. I'm going to check into my room early enough and read a book and relax. I've not had a day off for a long, long time. This weekend am off four days in a row. Which is a piece of heaven. So I look forward to it and will not let the not having the 'right' dress (if there is such a thing. which I know some of you will argue there is) get in the way.
Thank you for reading my ramblings. Oye!

i do black myself
but as my sister always says
accessorize
if u can find a yellow or pink or lavender or white belt, shoes and bags to rock it out it takes attention off the black and instead draws attention to the combo WHICH includes color
good luck
so yeah
accessorize with color and make up and u should be fine
and if the wedding is in a warm place like texas then u should be able to get away with a lil' black dress, some skin and color accessories
:)
have fun
I would def. wear black to a wedding. You could get away with it..I agree with Kafo...accessorize.
There ia a quote by Ruth Elmore that goes..."You have to take care of yourself first. Only then can you truly give to others."
I know for sure that you are single and have no kids so no care-giving needed in that area, but your line of work can be emotionally and physically draining. Taking time out to nurture and renew yourself in 2009 will be good for ya!
hehe! closet debates are fun to listen to, let alone read. I know you were one helluva hottie(wink wink) regardless what you chose to wear.
Enjoy the days off!! literaly black out for a while!!
finally someone who feels like me.Three of my close girls are getting married this year, the ones who arent are having/had babies. am tired of baby&bridal showers arrgghh
Well, first, congratulations to your friend. You must be the anti-me. I can count the number of weddings of friends I have been in on one hand. Perhaps even one finger, maybe two. So what do I know about what to wear?
I would say, whatever makes you happy because if you are happy, you bring your happy to the wedding and that makes everything even more happy!
Oh, and don't forget the fabulous shoes.
wow, gothic
no dont change keep it coz its who you are
