The Opera Populaire

Another one in the squad gone to the altar! I was so touched by the love shown by friends and families shown during Jing's wedding on Sun. Although programmes and everything else was not exactly perfect...a few times the audio failed to play to cue and the emcees had to stall for time...I think it was amazing how the couple cared less about perfection in schedule than catering for the people they cared about during the dinner. They had the longest thank you speech I had ever encountered in a wedding dinner, thanking almost everyone they knew. And I love the fact that people love them so much as to prepare surprises for them; a mutual fren who could not make it to the dinner made a video to be screened during the dinner. Wish DH and my wedding had been that touching! But we r both task-based robots *LOL* I suspect our photographer did not find us good subjects haha. But never mind...I always think what's impt about weddings is that they r over! And the marriage can finally begin.

Anyhow, I feel very satisfied with some of my fashion "investments", some of which I wore for the wedding. The one which got the most compliment: my wedding shoes!! Not many people could see my wedding shoes as my gown had covered them. But the heels are the prettiest part...as you can see from the picts, they are sewn with bling-blings (I don't know what they are called!). They are too "bride-y" so I had them dyed black after the wedding. The sweet lady from Bagspa even rushed it for me, so it came in time for Jing's wedding. I think it's a terrific idea and I can see myself wearing it for many a future events...it's so hot and easily matched!

I'm thinking of exchanging/ coloring every accesory that I seldom wear to black; just wondering if it will encourage me to wear them more often. I hate stuff cluttering up my space and love the idea of buying things to use than keep for special occasions these days. Feeling the success of my wedding shoes and black reissue, I'm thinking of extending it to my other stuff as well. Like this pair of uber comfy Lea Foscatti shoes I'm wearing now. Easily the most comfy shoes I have, but I don't wear it as often I would have loved to because it is red in color. I think red is the color that suits me least. Some well-meaning relatives had told me to wear more colors, but I'm really a neutral-color person. Red, pinks and some bright shades like orange makes me look totally off. Anyway, isn't it like those Parisian women to stick to only fail-safe colors? LOL.
