I may feel anything but dressed up during the week, but I must say, I LOVE getting dressed up when the occasion arises! I’m such a girlie girl at heart.
This morning, I thought I’d give you a peek in my closet and show you what I pulled together to wear to my brother-in-law Steve and future sis-in law Joanne’s wedding today! I’m so excited for their big day!!!!
My father in law Ken, Steve, & Joanne:
My bday celebraton 2009 (remember those pink walls??)!
With Brother in law Dave…more SHOTS!
The first time I met Joanne I KNEW she was the one for Steve. I even told Eric after we met her that they would get married. What can I say, I can see love a mile away!! I’ve never seen Steve happier. :)
Joanne is going to make a STUNNING bride. I can’t wait to see her! The wedding is held at a winery in Niagara on the Lake. The setting will be breathtaking no doubt.
Here’s the outfit I put together…
I found this dress in the nick of time last night at Le Chateau. It’s pinky and floral- and if you know me, you know I love that! Luckily, it fit me like a glove, which doesn’t happen often at Le Chateau…usually I can’t find anything for the life of me in that store.
The ruching is extremely figure flattering and hugs the curves (or creates some!).
I thought I was going to have to buy new shoes to go with the dress, but my girlfriend Ashley offered to lend me her wedges. I’ve worn stilettos at outdoor weddings before and it ain’t pretty walking on grass! ;) These will also be much more comfortable too.
My gold clutch is from 2008 from Aldo. I think it was $19.99!
My jewelry is from Swarovski which was a gift from Eric last Spring.
Shimmery eye shadow is from Chanel. I bought this set in 2008 for my wedding and I just love the colour palette.
A shimmery wrap if I get chilly outside. This was a gift from my mom last year. Need to iron this!
Painted my nails with this old bottle of Revlon ‘Pure Pearl’ which goes with my dress nicely.
One more coat to go after this.
Now I‘m off to try and pack LIGHTLY. This would be a first…
See you tomorrow for a wedding recap.
Have a great day!




your dress is stunning! Have fun!
Awww, lovebirds are so cute! :) And getting dressed up is very fun, indeed!
That dress is GORGEOUS.
I have the exact opposite problem with Le Chateau.. I’ll wander in randomly and fall in love with multiple dresses. I never let myself try them on though because I have nowhere to wear their pretty dresses and I am so cheap that I can’t justify spending $150-200 on a dress I might wear once. You’re dress is really pretty though! Can’t wait to see it on!
Your dress is gorgeous!
LOVE your dress! Can’t wait to see how it looks on, I bet you will look gorgeous!
uuuuuuh Angi I love your dress, bet it suits u real well :) pictures pleaseeeeeeeee
my host family loved your homemade granola btw
I am right now touring the east coast and loving it wohooooo ! I do reviews of all the restaurant I go to and I had my first larabar (they dont sell those in Austria)
all the best xo
Aww, you and the bride are going to look gorgeous! Have such a fun time at the wedding and reception!
what a cute post Angela. Have fun and looking forward to the recap. :)
The clothes at Le Chateau never fit me well either – they’re all made for tall people LOL! But I love your dress. Great find! :)
You are going to look incredible! Love the gold accents. Wedges are a also great idea. I have spiky heels as my wedding standard, but that’s a good idea to change them up.
I loooove weddings!! You are going to look STUNNING and they are so adorable together. I love it. Will you play matchmaker please and find me a good man…kay perfect :)
I love seeing people in love :) What a beautiful picture of the two of them!
LOVE that dress…so pretty! I’ve never been a big fan of Le Chateau, yet in thinking back, I just realized I bought my highschool grad dress AND my wedding dress there (obviously not your typical wedding lol). Have fun!
LOVE that dress!!!!!!
OMG I can’t WAIT to see what you look like! I am lovin the entire ensemble!
Can’t wait to see more photos! I know you will look amazing your dress..beautiful colors!! :)
Cute dress and lovely outfit!
That dress is beautiful! I can’t wait to see more pictures :) Enjoy the wedding, and congratulations to brother and (nearly) sister in law!
Hi Angela, this is totally not the type of post an 18 year old guy would usually be drawn to but I wanted to comment to say that I wish your brother-in-law and future sister-in-law all the success in their journey together. Mainly I wanted to say that I am very happy to see that you have had been able to leave ‘frump town’ you are such a source of happiness and inspiration to so many people every day just through your blog. Each time you post I feel like I escape my own Frump Town for a while because of your enthusiasm and natural joy. I hope you enjoy the wedding, thank you very much Angela.
Thank you Andy! What a lovely thing to say. I appreciate your heartfelt support! :)
