Top: ???
Skirt: City Chic
Shoes: Wittner
The bags are packed, the vows are written, Suki’s gone to stay at her Cat Getaway Retreat, and the countdown is on.
The wedding’s this Saturday, and The Sophisticate and I are as ready as can be. I have time for one, last, super quick blog post before I tuck myself up in bed in preparation for the Long Drive North tomorrow.
I’m so pleased to have found another top that this City Chic skirt can be worn with – that makes two! – I think it works because the stripes from Fifi Lapin’s sleeves mirror the stripes on the skirt. I’m playing it safe with nude heels and no jewellery, but looking at the photos I think this outfit would work well with a kick of colour. A bright belt, some plastic bangles, maybe some hot pink shoes. Not that I own a pair (yet).
I am sporting some outstandingly red lips, though. My beautiful Bridesmaid Callie is also acting as my make-up artist for the Big Day, and we were toying with the idea of some bright lipstick. I decided to go with the safer option of plummy pink as I always feel vaguely carnivorous when I’m wearing red lippy, but the shade that we sampled was too eye-popping to turn our backs on, so I bought a tube for special occasions.
Long day tomorrow, so I’ll sign off for now – hope everyone’s enjoying their week, and I hope my fellow Australian’s enjoy their mid-week holiday tomorrow!
Good luck with everything, I’m sure it will be wonderful. Have a safe trip!!
GoOd luck, can’t wait to see your dress!
This si by far the most complimenting outfit you’ve posted! I really like it. The top is fifi lapin print for sure!
Lilli, I have been an avid reader of years for forever. I never post, but I wanted to wish you all the best on your wedding. Enjoy the day, but most importantly, the days that will come thereafter ! Best regards from Germany, Tina
Good luck and bright blessings for your marriage!!
Good luck and congratulations Lilli! I have been reading your blog since 2007 and I am so happy to see you so happy! Can’t wait for dress pictures!
Or…maybe 2008 ha ha
Congratulations!
I LOVE your skirt. I especially love that I’ve been told not to wear horizontal stripes on my hips because it will make me look bigger. You have totally disproved that theory! You look stunning!
Congratulations Lian. Many blessings and good wishes on your wedding day and always. I have been reading your blog since the Curvy Chick days and you are an inspiration to me and many others. Make sure that on your wedding day you sit for a moment, look around and take everything in. The day will go by so quickly you won’t even believe it. Cannot wait to see you in your wedding dress!!!
Congratulations and good luck. Look forward to seeing the photos of your dress. x
