lace overload

did you see this post over at broke-ass bride? http://www.thebrokeassbride.com/2011/12/cant-afford-itget-over-it-lace-overload/

i had already seen a few of these, but WOWZA, this one really caught my eye:

Tadashi Shoji Lace & Chiffon Gown: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tadashi-shoji-lace-chiffon-gown/3105854

$548?!  ok!  there's only one size left right now though.  and i'm nowhere near ready to buy a dress.  gah.  when should i be ready?  it takes something like 4-5 months from ordering til it's totally ready.

i firmly believe that losing a bunch of weight for your wedding is stupid.  i don't want to look like a thinner me, i like me.  that said, i've put on some weight over the last few months (a lot of traveling, which leads to a lot of eating and drinking and not a lot of exercising), which i expect to come off in the coming months now that i'm back to a healthier lifestyle (:D).  so i feel like buying a dress now would be extra silly.
