Reston Style: to a wedding shower at Lake Anne

I was so out of habit of taking outfit pictures at this point that I didn't even bring my tripod with me to Amanda and Adam's wedding shower. Hindsight being 20/20, that means I also totally missed out on getting some amazing group shots, like the ones that I got at their rehearsal dinner (and that I will share later).

This is a borrowed dress (that I have had for way too long and really need to return) from Annie. I wasn't so sure about the length, but after getting compliment after compliment on it, I think it's a winner. Though, I must have known that from the beginning, because I did trace the dress to create a pattern, and then duplicate the top of it. I am still working on how I want the skirt. But I digress...

After A and A's shower, Betsy and I went to the Melting Pot bar to have some cheese, a drink, and to see Reid. Even though I had already been complimented on how I looked by several other people that day, it meant the world to me when Reid said how nice I looked. Maybe it's shallow, but I like hearing that I look nice! :)
