My fiance and I went to our first wedding registry event last week at what Macy's likes to call a "Sip 'n Scan." Macy's brings in a local catering company, a DJ, a makeup artist, a cookware specialist, and anyone else they can dig up to represent the services needed at a wedding. Not a bad idea, really. We got to eat yummy food, sip some punch, listen to fun music, and play Charlie's Angels with the registry gun.
Initially, I was really excited, but when we had been pointing and shooting for about 25 minutes, I had a slight emotional breakdown. The idea of asking people for anything always really bothers me. Everyone in our lives is extremely kind, but it was still unnerving to register for a $399 KitchenAid Mixer and a $600 Dyson vacuum (both of which I fully plan on buying myself after the wedding using the post-wedding registry discount). We registered for lots of much less expensive items, too, but I just felt really uneasy about it all. It didn't help that we're registering for most of our bigger items through Macy's, and then using Crate and Barrel and Target for our smaller, less expensive items. Perhaps we should have started there instead to avoid my mini-psychosis.
I eventually recovered, we registered for a few more items, and we headed home with food in our bellies and smiles on our faces. Here's what I wore:

Blouse: J.Crew Blythe blouse, size 2
Scarf: Simply Vera by Vera Wang, a gift from my future mother-in-law
Jeans: Joe's Jeans, Anthropologie, size 28
Bag: Prada
Shoes: Cole Haan Air Lyric heels, size 7.5
I have a feeling this is going to be one of my favorite outfits for the transition to fall (although the weather the past few days here in western PA have made it pretty clear that there is no longer a transition happening...fall, along with its cold temperatures, wind, and rain, has arrived.). I love the look of a blouse tucked into flared jeans with a fun accessory and heels. I've worn variations of this look several times over the past few weeks as the weather has become cooler, and it's just effortless and polished.
Have a wonderful day, everyone!
