I was having wardrobe trauma as I tried to find wedding-appropriate attire that lent itself to being outside and on the move for pictures. I ended up wearing a pair of dressy black pants that I bought in a preParis frenzy last year but never wore. They are comfortable pants, but I did NOT feel comfortable at all and was glad I had my big winter coat over my ensemble. Nothing like having a body-image crisis right before having to stand in front of a big crowd of people...but of course, they weren't there to see me and that was a relief.
It ended up being breezy and cold, but the heavens smiled on the bride just in time for her festivities. The clouds parted, the sun came out and everything was lovely...we just had to wear winter coats.
There was much more to this day, but I'm weary and have to be up early tomorrow, so this will have to do.

Just when I think I've seen all the best labels, along comes THIS one.
Nothing will top "Frumpmeister."
an outdoor wedding in winter coats, that is a new one for me....here it is usually outdoor weddings with the lightest materials, the lightest colors under the 100 degree summer sun.
I'll bet you were even more grateful when you woke up this morning only to see lots of snow on the ground! Or did that only happen up here?
Jill, I just went shopping for new jeans last night. Nothing like making yourself feel depressed about your body image!
Frumpmeister? Hee hee! Love it!
Thanks for the birthday wish!
I quite often work myself into a tizzy before going out. I cleaned out my closet and my dresser yesterday, taking out the things that don't fit or that I don't like to wear. There isn't a whole lot left!
I was thinking of you yesterday because it DID snow here -- but only for about 15 minutes. And then this morning, we had snow everywhere! Good thing the wedding was yesterday.
Good thing it was yesterday instead of today. I have a few things that make me feel just like you described- why do I keep them?!?!?!
I am so glad the sun came out, how would she have an outdoor wedding in teh rain?!
I have many things that I am not comfortable in and Sunday mornings seem to be the hardest for me. I think my Sunday clothes are the least forgiving and sadly (altough not at all unexpectedly) I still have baby weight to lose. I am a FIRM believer that you can only be as beautiful as you feel and wearing something that makes you uncomfortable can ruin your day. The funny thing is...you probably looked GREAT in your pants, we are always our own worse critic.
Frumpmeister makes me giggle out loud! You are too funny!
But that photo, wow!!
Yes, happy for you, all were there to see the bride! One time I had decorated for a wedding and was quite pleased with the results. It was pretty spectacular and I was musing over the effect of the decorations! One of my friends said,"Well, the Bride is the most important"....reminding me to take a step back in favor of her!
I'd love to see the photos!
ick. i know this feeling. and yuck. kudos for doing a winter wedding!!!
as always, love your "take" on things.
winter coats, eh?
COLD, but at least it wasn't wet. I often have wardrobe issues. Ever since it got chilly I've been wearing the same sweatshirt day after day - not only am I sick of it already, so is everyone else in the family.
Frumpmeister, that's great.
Frumpmeister! That is the best yet, you are too funny.
I would also like to see the photos, if the bride wouldn't mind you posting a few.
