frocks, kitsilano

ladies, you should totally do an ad campaign. i wish it were the 1950's - because then this dress wouldn't be $350+ and there would still be such thing as a "send off dress" for me to wear.

navy, orange

here was my original inspiration for an "orange" wedding, via a martha stewart weddings color issue. what truly excites me is that those diy poofy hanging flowers have my spherical ball shape that i'm obssessed with (more on that later). however, after looking at the orange flowers available, gerbera daisies (my favorite flower variety!) and tiger lillies just don't cut it for me. can't they just carry an armful of satiny orange fabric? orange and blue are wonderful complimentary colors!

so the best color on these fair beauties turned out to be navy. i never got a photo of vanessa's fave at frocks - a sweetheart neckline type navy dress at frocks, and i didn't get a frontal photo of this middle dress which jenn liked, also at frocks.
