Today in the spotlight: the oversized oxford shirt. I saw one of these in InStyle back in spring and knew right away I wanted one.
I was so glad when I spotted this one, in Wal-Mart of all places. It is the perfect length and so cottony soft. I've only owned it for 7 months, but I wear it all the time.
The great thing about this shirt is that it is very versatile. It can go casual or dressy, though clearly I have mostly don the casual look with it. But I am anxious to pair it with sweaters in the cooler weather.
Today I went with a dressy casual look. Sure, it's not office appropriate. I'd sooner die than wear these shorts to the office. But, I dressed it up with black and a gold belt.
I needed to have something to wear that is easy to run around in today. Even though it is a day off of work, it is not a day off from getting last minute shit done for the wedding.
Among other monotonous tasks today, I got to enjoy a pedicure, manicure, eyebrow wax, spray tan and Starbucks run. It was my first time going to the nail salon/spa by my boys' Kumon center and it was just delightful!
With my wedding being the day after tomorrow (yikes), I have been thinking about my engagement a lot and I think it can best be described in a musical montage, aka typical Frannie style.
When Patrick first proposed to me back in November, I was so stoked. The proposal was absolutely perfect in every way. I remember being so euphorically numb. Totally on Cloud 9.
I will never forget how amazingly happy I was. I remember having many moments with Patrick of little random kisses and I love you's and just feeling so full of love.
For the next few months, I pinned and dreamt and Googled all these grandiose plans of DIYs and little crafts. And I got busy. Very busy.
Over the next several months, I became overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed by people's comments and suggestions. I was overwhelmed with all the details. I was overwhelmed with all the to-do's. I was overwhelmed with the cost and the time.

Now the day has come. Somehow, it showed up after feeling like it would never come. I am currently in shock. I constantly teeter with wishing that the wedding would just get here all ready because I can barely stand the excitement and nausea and anxiety over what has to be done and how everything will go and wishing we had another week (or month . . .).
One thing I do know, though, after Saturday I will be married to the World's Best Man and be in the presence of all of my favorite people in the world. This is my last blog post before I'm a Mrs. I'm glad. I need the break and I am anxious about spending time where it needs to be spent. I'll fill y'all in when I return from our honeymoon. Laters baby!
