My wedding (and yes, vintage clothing)

Something I want to do on my blog is to share items from my own personal collection of vintage clothing. And I thought the perfect place to start would be my wedding dress. To make a long story short, this was actually the third wedding dress (yes, I know) that I bought for my wedding this past summer. I wasn't looking for it (since I already had two other dresses), but I walked into a local vintage clothing shop, I saw it hanging on the wall, and I knew I had to try it on. When I saw myself in the mirror, I had one of those moments you see on shows like "Say Yes to the Dress." I started tearing up, and then I thought, "I am beautiful," and then, "this is the dress for my wedding." It was a moment that my pragmatic, anti-WIC self wasn't looking for or expecting.
