Dear Lauren and Lauren,

dress: banana republic outlet  belt: old navy  necklace: world market

I went to World Market last weekend to buy Chris some olives, cheese and crackers for his birthday.
(Yep, we roll out the expensive gifts around here for birthdays.)

And I found this necklace for $6.00.  I love it! 


I am SO excited for this wedding weekend ahead!

It's funny because I almost feel like I've been more involved in your wedding Lauren then in my own.  Maybe that's not true and maybe I don't remember well enough since it was seven years ago.  But I was also pretty much a baby when I got married and my mom helped me an unbelievable amount, so maybe it is true.  

Either way I've been looking forward to this weekend for a long time!

Lauren I can't wait to see you and give you a huge hug tomorrow night.  

Lauren in law you will make a stunning bride and I can't wait to see you marry my brother.  

Getting to be with both of my Laurens is right up top on my happy scale. 

Love you both! 

Love,

at

    Ahhh so cute! I am absolutely in love with that necklace. And what a steal! Aren't things so much cuter when they're cheap? I just had a family wedding this past weekend and it was a blast! Hope you have fun!

    I have a dress just like that from the Banana Republic Outlet!
    You must've been a baby when you got married if it was 7 years ago! We're coming up on 3 years and that makes me feel old.

    Cute! I love that dress, and I LOVE World Market. We don't have one near us, but back in California I would shop there all the time - they have such cute scarves and jewelry... for cheap!

    That skirt dress is SO cute and your necklace compliments it so well. I love how your belt picks up the color in the necklace too. You have such a fun weekend to look forward to!

    Love the entire outfit, Katie! The dress is perfect on its own, but the shoes, belt, and necklace just pull everything together!

    I've seen a few yellow belts on the WIWW circuit today and I'm loving them! (And thinking I need to go pick one up for myself.) Cute outfit this week, as always!
