Friday Wedding

 Yahoo! I love Weddings!


There is nothing better than getting dressed up and drinking at someone elses expense. In all seriousness, this is a VERY exciting wedding as it's our babysitters sons wedding and love of my life and I had a role in the introducing.

 We've had our babysitter who is known in our house as "Saint Sandra" for a long time.  SS landed on our door when the four were babies and I was in desperate need of help.  SS is so important in our family that the kids have only just realised that she is not related.  So one NYE we left our four with SS, insisted the now groom come with us, leaving SS with six kids.  And the rest as they say is history, culminating in a Wedding with one of my besties as the bride and SS's son as the groom. Happy Days.


Witchery Aztec
Beaded Skirt $249.95
What am I going to wear?  I kept hoping something would jump out while I was shopping yesterday. I've got heaps of clothes to wear, but I want to wear something new, with a POC (Pop of Colour for the new readers), and I can't decide...  Will it be hot? Will it be cold? bla bla bla.....

It all started when Witchery put a photo on facebook of a skirt.  http://www.witchery.com.au/her/skirts  I love it and it's perfect with a black or gold or silver silk singlet and easy to put coloured shoes or clutch for POC.  There was no time to waste  - I had a skirt to buy and a top, shoes, clutch and accessories to organise. Straight to Witchery for the big purchase, and it's only available at Chadstone. What?  There are also Aztec pants. Same story. What? again.   http://www.witchery.com.au/her/pants/beaded-pant?color=GUNMETAL

WitcheryAztec
Beaded Pant $299.95
I messaged Witchery via facebook and they said the skirt was available in: Doncaster, Southland, Little Collins Street and Melbourne Central.  Not so good if you live in Queensland.  Why do they facebook it for the world and then make it hard to purchase?

Back to "What am I going to wear?"  I'll work it out, somehow between going to Ikea, getting a hair cut, convicing Mr Google to give me more relevant advertising, making lampshades and running a household with a husband, four kids, a dog and a gold fish called "Bernie".  Everyone fought: girl wanted Barbie, boys wanted Ernie. "Bernie' it is!

Can you buy the skirt online and return Iif not ok? I noticed the pants were only beaded on the front, I know you have to sit down at some stage, but to me they look unfinished. Guess I'll never really know as not going to Melbourne any time soon! Beautiful story about the happy couple, hope they mention you in the speeches! And how funny was the best dressed video?!?! Again I ask, who are these people?

How's that video? I have been inundated with comments etc...and the blog of the 50 finalists "Say no more" is the most viewed. Witchery need to realise they have captured our attention in the past year and start taking us shoppers seriously!

Don't know who the best dressed are? Woeful. I am not keen to buy a skirt or pants that are beaded on line. I agree about the pants - half finished and cost more than the skirt?

Why do brands like Witchery advertise items in their e-newsletters and catalogues that aren't available everywhere ? It's almost like a form of false advertising ? Just saying ... So excited for the happy couple - I've only met them once but they seemed so happy and so together ! Have a fab time ... And do let us know what you wear to the big day x

You are right - it is almost false advertising. It actually alienates loyal customers.
