You'll have to trust me that this (
above) is what I wore on Day 13 of my 30 for 30 Challenge. Nothing fancy, just another "gimme outfit." Which was fine, because this day was less than stellar. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, spilled coffee all over myself on my way out the door, work was crazy busy, and the fire was still burning all over my beautiful hometown. I have since recovered from that day, and washed my coffee covered clothes. The fire is on its way to being contained, and we're on our way to the weekend!
And this (above) was Day 14. I wore my tan short-sleeved "safari" sweater (I think it looks like I'm headed on a safari when I wear it, so "safari" sweater it is) over the tank top for work - I covered those shoulders, don't you worry! I worked a half day, then packed up the car and headed to Denver for a friend's wedding. These pictures were snapped right before I tore apart our hotel room to get ready for the nuptials (Friday afternoon traffic is not conducive to making it to events in a timely & peaceful fashion). I covered my bases for my 30 for 30 in my monochromatic number, and still got to wear a dress I love for the wedding (pictures below).

| if you're wondering, yes, we did coordinate our outfits! I think it looks so nice when a man & a woman coordinate for a special event - prom, a wedding, a ball. What do YOU think? |

I have several pictures of us with the bride & groom and other friends, but don't feel comfortable sharing without their permission.The wedding was beautiful & we're glad we were able to see one of our oldest friends tie the knot. We caught up with several other friends from high school and danced the night away.
We both received several compliments on our ensembles - doesn't he look dapper in his vest? We got his suit, tie, and shirt from
Men's Wearhouse last summer. My dress is a
Lilly Pulitzer that my parents picked out for me last year. I don't have a full length shot of the dress to show you from this evening, but it's the same festive stripe design all over the dress, and the dress ends just above my knees. I wore wedges that have copper, pewter & gold straps. They'll make another appearance on here, I promise!
Fun (and comfortable) dresses are my favorite thing to wear for weddings. They're a one-stop-shop-outfit, and are a lot cooler than wearing layers. This ceremony was outside, but luckily we sat in the shade, and there was a nice breeze to keep us cool during the I-do's & the I-will's.
We'll be attending two more weddings this summer - 1 in July, and 1 in August (that we're both in!). How many weddings are on your agenda this summer?
