Wedding News: Finding THE Dress

When I went into this wedding planning whirlwind, the one thing I knew was what style of dress I wanted. The only difficult part was going to be finding it, and actually being able to afford this amazing dress I had designed myself (before I actually got engaged, not crazy, right?!).

The reason I decided to design/draw up my dream dress was because I have seen so many gorgeous dresses, but each one was either missing that one major element or a few of them that would make it MY perfect wedding dress. So I decided to combine all of my favorite elements that I have seen into one dress. Once I had it visualized it was treasure hunting time!

Outfit Details:

dress: H&M

jacket: Bernardo Leather via Nordstrom

bag: Chictopia

boots: Restricted

sunglasses: Asos

hat: Urban Outfitters

lipstick: Kat von D Studded Lipstick in Wonderchilde

This was such a fun outfit to put together! Sometimes I get shy about mixing patterns and just going for it! Here I didn't even think twice about my choices. I knew I wanted to wear this dress,and then I knew I needed some tights, so I grabbed these. Probably one of the few outfits I haven't over-thought in awhile. And the great thing about it was that I didn't feel self-conscious at all about my choice, which sometimes can happen when I am launching myself out of that safe box. I felt funky and comfortable and myself in this ensemble! This probably means I need to stop over-thinking my outfits all the time and just go for it!  

On a side note... this dress is one of my favorites at the moment. It is so easy to throw on and can be styled a few different ways. The greatest thing about it is that It was only 10$ from H&M!!! Super amazing deal.

Do you have a hard time over-thinking out of the box style choices?
