HNT-Out of the Closet or What I Did for Love

paint



Earlier this week I mentioned my closet contains a periwinkle blue sausage casing bridesmaid dress and white satin corset (to squeeze into the sausage casing)I wore in my best friend's wedding. In addition to all that I paid $50 to have my hair done AND I wore make-up.

I told my dear friend it was obvious I loved her more than I loved my husband because for my own wedding I braided my own hair, wore no make-up, and wore my regular underwear. I'd only go to the higher level of expense and trouble if I really loved someone. Hahaha But hey, the bride calls the shots, right? It was her day and I was happy for her and happy to share in her special day.

I had nothing else for this week so you get Lime as a Blue Sausage. Maybe one day I'll get brave enough to show the corset...

Happy HNT

  12. You ARE a good friend, Limey, and you looked lovely.
    But seriously, why DID you save the dress?

  13. Ah, the joys of being a bridesmaid - it takes a good friend to be one and have the relationship remain intact after the wedding. No doubt that you are a special friend. Happy HNT!

  21. Last weekend, along with a few other guys, I dragged my friend up north to a weekend at the cottage filled with golf and watersports (not THOSE kind) and beer - none of which I would normally do on my own, as he is getting married next month. I told him at the time he's lucky I like him. :P

    That said however, you look much better in the dress and all dolled up than I did after 3 days in the wilderness without a shower *shudder*.

    Happy HNT!

  22. Of course, the question that obviously crops up from this post is what kind of underwear you wore for your best friend?

  35. Lime, I clicked on the pic to see a blow-up version, but flickr first made me log in, then said your pic was private. Not complaining, just explaining.

    Like the makeup BTW.

  43. I know exactly how you feel, since I am doing the same thing right now. But since I am the only bridesmaid... it's been less traumatic. It does look lovely on you.

    HHNT!
