Two of my very good friends, Rachel and Armstrong, decided a while ago to flee the mainland and marry each other in Hawaii. Thankfully, they asked me and our little group of friends to come along and celebrate with them. We're leaving in a few weeks and while this won't be a very long trip (a few days), I am obviously very excited.
Now the hard part. I am so, so distraught over what I'm going to wear. I have been searching high and low for something to wear for the main event and can't find anything. I hate shopping to begin with so having to go from store to store is torturing me. Not that it matters because I can't find anything island friendly, yet wedding appropriate anywhere. Forget the fact that it's now September and all the cute, summery dresses are long gone, or stuffed into some clearance rack that I just do not have the patience to pick over.
However, Anthropologie (or Anthro, as TAMN would call it) may have saved me from my fashion crisis. Although, I have no business shopping there, Anthro never disappoints making all of my dress dreams come true.
Case in point: 
This would be close to perfect.
This would be close to perfect. 
I am rather obsessed with this one, too.
Love this color.
And this is just too freaking cute I can't even stand it. Obviously, I'd need a shirt to go with it, but I saw this in the store last time I was there and stood around looking at it for a good 30 minutes, debating/rationalizing spending $170 for it. Point went to reality.
Why do clothes have to be so much money? It's just fabric, usually mass produced in a third-world country. I'm seriously considering learning how to use a sewing machine because I would love to just make some simple, cute skirts and dresses whenever I wanted. Maybe I've been watching too much Project Runway, but really, how hard could it be?

Project Runway always makes me feel like I'm hiding my inner seamstress. My mom always says, "It's easier than it looks." Well, it looks HARD, and something rated DIFFICULT is easier than something rated HARD. Sewing is difficult. Not easy. "Easier than it looks" does NOT mean EASY.
Wait 'til you have to buy kids clothes. It costs way too much for so little fabric.
I don't think it's that hard. I learned how to sew, but then learned that I'd rather outsource my projects to my mom or my sister, who were both better at it.
it's not hard just time consuming...
Bri- LOVE the red one. get it. just do it. you will feel better having your outfit picked out before you leave. so cute. ttyl,

It is hard don't listen to these peeps. Chuck taught me how to sew this year and I haven't finished anything I've started. My next project is pillow cases because I can't afford the ones I saw at anthropologie for$180. I love that store. It makes me sick with lust!
Eliza, Anthropologie will always remind me of you!
