What Not To Wear: Bridesmaid Edition

In our quest to find the perfect bridesmaid dresses, we were met with failure.  We did, however, find what we will NOT be wearing down the aisle! 

From left to right:  The purple leopard print would be fabulous if we were living in 1987. 

The pink, orange, blue, and black leaf/butterfly print?  Perhaps if we were teenagers who were one with nature.

I happen to think the middle selection is kind of a little bit cute, just not for a November wedding.  Key words being kind of and a little bit.

Number four actually shows some (fairly small) resemblance to the desired color scheme, though the heavily shoulder padded jacket might be more appropriate if we were all 70 instead of 30.

As for the last option, well, the bride is all farm girl and the groom loves his motorcycle so maybe the denim combined with the leather would suffice in a pinch. 

 

 

 

 

The good news is that by the end of the night, after discussing many possible solutions, the end result has been decided, though not available to see yet.  Not til November!

I Knew Him Before He Was Famous

I don't really know anybody famous.  But I might in a few years!  Awhile back my BFF Katrina heard a song online or on XM radio or something from a guy she had never heard of before- Austin Moody.  In his song he talked about a Case IH tractor, and being that she is a 3rd generation Case IH dealer/farmer, she emailed him!  Through a series of emails he then said he would like to come play at the dealership and through a series of a lot more stuff, he did!  And he's really good!  He definitely sounds like he belongs on the radio.  She let me take advantage of being her friend and I got to meet him and the band, and hang out on the tour bus before everything started.  (I know, I'm such a groupie!)  But they were all really nice and someday when he makes it big I'll frame my pictures.  Well, probably not, but at least I'll have a good story!

 

 

On the bus

 

 

 Austin and the drummer, Bobo.

 

 

 Concert time!  These band members have played with the likes of Wynona Judd, Tanya Tucker, and Dolly Parton.  They were legit!

 

I'm sure it helps that I really like country music, but I'm serious when I say he's good.  If you like country, check out his stuff!
