#263: it's lovely.

when i first started researching for my faux-wedding, i had no doubt in my mind that a bride would need to drop at least $2000 for a dress worthy of wowing the future hubs. at least.

but i've since been inspired by you brilliant readers and am happy to report that i now know that i have endless lovely dress options, all of which fall within my 'budget' aka $500 or less...you know, for when it comes time to drop the 'faux' from 'faux-wedding'.

$3000 dresses are wonderful...hell, so are $10,000 dresses...but hope is not lost for those who have limited resources (ME!) and would rather put the extra money where our stomachs are (ME AGAIN!) and at the same time would prefer something a little less cookie cutterish (um, ME...).

open your mind and keep the faith, ladies.

and if i were getting married, say, this june, i'd keep the faith whilst prancing around in this $440 rebecca taylor number.
