Outfit of the Day and Birdcage Project!

Hello, all!  I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  I recently went shopping for a new springtime dress, because I have an awards assembly and my fiance's graduation coming up.  I cannot tell you how many dresses I tried on yesterday at Maurices.  They have so many gorgeous vintage looking dresses, but none of them—with the exception of one—fit quite well.  However, the dress  that did fit was $44.  I did not like the sound of that price. Here is what the dress looks like:


I really liked this dress, and I loved the color.  It has tiny gold dots all over the fabric.  But, I really wanted something floral with a more vintage feel.  So, I went over to Rue 21, and I found the absolute perfect dress.  Here I am wearing it just for you all: 


I love this dress, and it was only half the price of the other dress at $22.  I am so happy I found this, and I have the perfect accessories to match.  The tan cardigan is from Maurices, my brown shoes with bows are from Payless, and my pearl necklace and bracelet are both from American Eagle Outfitters.

Also, I have been searching for birdcages to decorate my wedding next spring.  I happened to find one for $5 at Earthbound Trading Company just yesterday.  Here is a picture:


I plan on painting it a lilac color and painting the hanger white.  Also, I am going to put a pretty gray bow on the hanger as well.  Additionally, I plan to put some wooden love birds or a mason jar with flowers inside.  As you could probably guess, my wedding colors are purple, white, and gray.  I just love purple!  I will post more pictures once I finish the project. 

Well, I hope you are all having a great weekend.  Let me know if you are working on anything in the comments below.

      Thank you so much for your compliment about my dress! I can't wait to wear it out. I will post the finished look of the birdcage soon; I should have it done in a few days. I am going to try to diy most of my wedding decorations, so hopefully there will be many more of these projects to come over the next year :)Thanks, for your comment, and I will be sure to follow you!

      Thank you so much for the compliment. If you are on the lookout for birdcages, I would recommend Hobby Lobby if you have one near you. They have a wide selection big and small. Or, I would try Michaels. And, I totally agree; they are so pretty with flowers in them!

    I like both dresses. The turquoise green is lovely but florals are always fun! You look great!

    Hope you've had a great weekend. Happy Monday!
