Earring update.

I went into Oroton during my lunch break again on Saturday and bought the second pair of earrings that I posted about (the pearls). They look great, really happy with them.

The gentleman in the store was VERY excited that I was getting married. Here is how the conversation flowed:

me: Hey, I'm trying to decide between a couple of pairs of earrings, but I'm leaning toward--
him: NO! those ones are TOO GAUDY for a wedding, you want to be CLASSIC, CHIC, you don't really want to be looking back in 20 years and asking, "Why did I wear those earrings?"**
me: Uh, yes - that's why I was leaning toward these ones - do you think they are a good size?
him: Yes, absolutely, CLASSIC, CLASSY! What is your dress like?
me: It's an Aurelio Costarella--
him: OH MY GOD, COSTARELLA!! *dying noise* was it expensive?
me: Uh, no, cheaper than some monstrosities I tried on in the bridal stores...
him: Wow, oh that will be amazing. When are you getting married? Where at?
me: July, at The Old Brewery
him: Oh wow - Winter wedding! I think I've only been to 1 Winter wedding and that was when I was like 6 or something. OH MY GOD, THE OLD BREWERY IS SOOOOOO NICE.
me: Thanks
him: So what made you pick July?
me: Well, my fiance is still studying and there is a uni break then, plus we both really like Winter
him: What does he study?
me: He is doing a Jazz degree at WAAPA and an education degree at ECU.
him: ECU? Isn't that AGES away? Does he have to drive far? I study marketing and advertising.
me: The WAAPA campus is in Mt Lawley, so it isn't too bad.
him: Oh cool, JAZZ IS SO COOL. I'm a drummer, but I could never do Jazz, too fast.
me: Yeah, the drummers are insane!
him: So your fiance must be pretty young huh?
me: Yes, *slightly embarrassed* he is 21
him: OH MY GOD - how old are you?
me: *even more embarrassed* I'm 24 - slight cougar
him: NO WAY, that's not a big difference, but you guys are so yooooung!!
me: I know, "young love" and all that. It's pretty sweet. Zac says it's all about the person, rather than the age, though so I'm sticking with that!
him: Oh yes, definitely, and if the GUY is saying that then it's all good and it's all on!
me: Uh yeah, I guess so!
him: Ok, are you a member of the "O Club"?
me: No...
him: Oh you should be, definitely. OH MY GOD!!!! I'LL SIGN YOU UP UNDER YOUR MARRIED NAME!!!
me: Ok....
him: *squeak* how do you spell it?
me: g-a-g-e-l-e-r
him: There all done! Let me know how it all goes!!!!!!
me: thank you :)

I seriously, wasted so much of my lunch break in there. But it is nice when people are excited with you...



**hopefully this isn't what I will be thinking about in 20 years?!?

  1. I say who cares what you think of your earrings in 20 years? You'll be forty-something so of course your taste and fashions will have changed. Im sure even strapless A-line dresses and singapore orchids will eventually look outdated..
    So dont worry about it and just chose what makes you happy now!
    I can't understand everyones obsession with trying to be 'timeless'.. its the touches that reflect your personality and current style that will make your wedding photos fun to look back over.

  3. no, not on the blog unfortunately... but if you want to hunt it online, my one is ivory, but Jessica Mauboy wore a bright orange one for a Marie Claire shoot last year.

    And I agree with looking back. I KNOW i'm going to think my dress/hair/colours/flowers were funny. Why not have fun and go all out?

    ps. WestAussie scrunch up your veil and have it as a ball of tulle on your head! Dare you!
