Bridesmaid dresses, check!

We finally picked out a bridesmaid dress! Yesterday I was sitting in Starbucks browsing Modcloth.com, as I do everyday since their inventory changes every few hours, and found the perfect light grey chiffon dress...



This isn't your typical embarrassing bridesmaid dress, right? And you really can wear it again, even if you never do! Plus, it's a neutral color, so I don't have to make-up my mind yet about light green vs. robins egg blue vs. cherry blossom pink. Now to find a freakishly adorable flower girl dress...

I heart this fabric.

I just saw this in the textiles section of the new Ikea catalogue that arrived in the mail today. I love how retro-forest-y it is, although completely different from what I've been thinking about so far. Table runners, or cloth napkins, perhaps? Hm... great, once again just too many cute ideas...

In other news, this summer has pretty much been consumed by Darryl's job hunt. There are lots of positions out there, it's just a matter of convincing the right person that you are the best fit for their school. It's been quite the emotional roller coaster, for sure. Hopefully something moves forward soon. Keep us in your prayers!

Also, if you haven't received it already, the first batch of the save-the-dates have been mailed, and the second batch will be out as soon as I stop procrastinating and put them together. Still kind of adjusting to not being in school, I suppose. Sometimes too much free time is just as bad as no time at all.
