wedding: doc martens, fishnets & red lipstick

last week was my 32nd birthday and i wrote a list of 32 things about myself.  at the last minute i added the fact that i wore doc martens, fishnets and red lipstick and it got the most interest in the comments.  being as i'm someone who likes to give people what they want, i give you:

doc martens/fishnets


red lipstick



i chose doc marten boots (from zappos) because i grew up in the 90's and always wore docs.  i also got married in march in chicago.  they kept my feet warm and i didn't run the risk of falling down.  i wore fishnets because i thought they were fun.  i wanted the smaller eyelet but as i was madly shopping for them at hot topic (because doesn't everyone shop for their wedding attire there?) two days before the wedding the bigger was all i could find.  

as for the red lipstick, it came into play once i chose how i was going to do my hair.  i have a pixie and i didn't want to grow my hair out for my wedding.  a pixie is me and i wanted my wedding to be a reflection of that.  instead a girl i worked with found a picture of finger waves and i fell in love.  the model in the picture had on red lipstick and i knew i had to too.  my hair turned out awesome on the day but i did need to grow it out a bit.  i had nick carter from the backstreet boys circa 1996 hair when it wasn't done up.  not good.  i still have a pixie but my hair isn't that color any more.  too pricey.

i hope you enjoyed this peek into my wedding.  i see a lot of wedding recaps out there and i read every single one of them.  i can't imagine making posts of mine.  they look like too much work.  maybe someday.

  10. You look beautiful! I was a big Doc Martin wearer back in the day. I loved the 90s. I wore red lipstick, a little lighter than yours, but it lasted all of 10 minutes for photos after all the kissing posing!
