Ok Wedding Minions..
Were getting ready to announce our engagement. Above are some photos we already had taken. Granted my hair is black now, but Id like to go with these to help out with the budget rather then have another taken. When we send out a save the date, we will be including a different photo. Anyway which one should we use?

So I just wrote this huge blog and had it deleted by my &*%*^$&%$* computer. GRRRRRRRRRRR.

This is my order from Wet Seal, it arrived a few days after I ordered it, but Im just now getting around to posting it. All items are Wet Seal, with exception to the brown hat which is 80's Purple (10$), and the bracelet which is Pier 1 (12$). All items can be found on my Recent Purchases List if your interested in locating them.

    Ordering from wet seal was easy. The items were shipped quickly. I did however have a few problems. The ring I ordered arrived broken. But I called immediately and they refunded my credit card right away. I did need info off my shipping list thing which came in my box, so keep that if you plan on making any returns. The open cable knit vest I ordered was out of stock so I did not receive that either (and wasn't charged). 
     Seriously though, when are companies gonna get that its wise to have someone paying attention to their website and removing items that are not in stock so people don't get disappointed when they actually CANT order them? Or at least mark them in some way? 
    Anyway, wet seal ended up sending me two pairs on accident of the 2 button destroyed jean. I was only charged for one. I momentarily struggled morally with keeping them or not, but decided to as I did my end, it was up to them to ship correctly or not. Besides, I was irritated at the ring I wanted being  broken. They must hand destroy them as the second pair (which isn't pictured) is ripped up differently. The jeans required a little home shrinking to fit correctly, as they were a little big for what is supposed to be a size 5. On a side note, I thought the jewelry hadnt been shipped at all, until I realized it was stuffed into a back pocket of the jeans, so check pockets if you order from wet seal.
    Overall, pretty good experience with wet seal, and Im happy with the clothes.

My dress Has finally arrived from 80sPurple..along with a 10$ giftcard for a furture purchase. The transaction was easy, smooth, and shipping was cheap and arrived in no time flat.

In the picture Im wearing the only grey shoes I own, and accessories for the sake of accessories..so just ignore them. The actual color is more of a pale pale yellow then the offwhite it appears in the online photo and here, and looks great with the grey lace band. But the dress itself is true to what I expected. It fits me wonderfully (a size small. Im 5'5, and weigh 120), and is great quality. The buttons on the adorable pockets are gold with black tops.

Overall shopping experience: A+++. My first order was out of stock (and after browsing the site, noticed the photo is still up and acting like you can order..no kudos for that.) BUT they sent me a free of charge item that I choose myself for the inconvience. Second order you see above, and everything went well, the item is as expected, and I recieved another added bonus of the giftcard. Ill definetly purchase from this company again.

Im officially in love with this dress. I have a wedding coming up for a good friend. Question kaboodlers..is this appropriate? Its a small, living room, close family and friends only deal. Or do I purchase something a little more formal?

So the photo isnt completely up to par..my webcam is all I have as my touch screen camera took a dive. (The touch screen...ceased to be so "touch")..
