Engagment Picture Look

Yipes! It's here! Engagement picture day. I guess I should have posted this weeks ago, but here we are...

When we booked this day w/ our photog months ago, I told myself I had PLENTY of time to find an outfit. But now today is here, and I'm realizing that I (a) don't like any of the shoes I have, and (b) I have no appropriate jewelry. Aackkk!

FI decided he wanted to dress up for the event, so jeans and a cute cami were immediately thrown out of the window. Not to be discouraged, however, I turned this into an excuse to buy a pretty, sexy new dress from Saks. ;)

And here it is:

It's a Herve Leger (forgive the lack of accent marks) and there was the BIGGEST issue with it arriving yesterday. I spent the bulk of the day on the phone with Saks and Fed-ex trying to see precisely where the package was, and finally Fed-Ex had it specially courriered over around 8 p.m. - only 8 hours after it's original guaranteed delivery time.

So... I have the dress - hurray. But I'm not yet sure what shoes I'll be slipping into. I'd like something bright for a nice pop of color, but I'm sorely lacking in the brightly colored shoes department aside from my AWESOME lime green d'orsay peep toes. Those are for the wedding, though. *sigh*

So, I'm off now to look for some shoes (perhaps fuschia?) and perhaps a nice necklace or some earrings. Wish me luck! :)
