Awesome checks

This is my last post for this seriously cold/snowy (most of it's melted, thank God) lazy Sunday, but I had to share. I've been dying to order my veil and shoes for the past few months and today was the day - basically because Jer and I decided to have a super lazy day (see his tweet @JDZimmm).

So I went to veilshop.com to look at a few veils. Since my dress is the epitome of simple elegance, I love it so, I wanted my veil to compliment this look. I decided to browse through what other Knotties have done with their veil/dress - I'm not posted what dress I have because Jer loves to read this (and yes, he's making peanut butter cookies right now - God bless him!).

It was down to two veils - the one I've wanted for the past 6 months and a new veil that I just found today.

Veil from today

Veil I've always loved

After some debate, I went with the veil I've loved for the past 6 months. For a number of reasons. 1. It's just classic. I think it will completely compliment my dress and I've loved it for 6 months. 2. It was $40 less expensive than the new veil. So I spent $42 on a veil - rock on.

Next stop - shoe shopping. I've been thinking about the Kenneth Cole Reaction shoes since I tried them on at the beginning of the month. To me, this is a sign that they are meant to be. They're gold, they're comfy, they're affordable - all good things. I get to Kenneth Cole's site and they're offering 30% off sandals - um SCORE! I'm on a total high and then - BOOM, they're out of my size. So I'm totally bummed but I don't give up hope!

I started browsing the Internet and found my sandals on shoes.com...after some careful research I see that I qualify for free shipping and I find this promo code: y98shoes and get 20% off. It's not the 30% I would've gotten from KC - but I got free shipping so I'm happy. All together I spent just over $100 on my veil and shoes - and that makes me happy, plus the sun is now shining and the cookies are just about ready... it's going to be a good week.
