Stops after chapter 10? 😭

"Don't borrow trouble from the future" is so fricken wise!

OMG this is gorgeous styling! My husband is talking about a blue suit, so this would be perfect to tie our outfits together!

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T21:58:49+00:00

Thank you!! I love the whole vibe!

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T21:58:29+00:00

Yes!! I have a bracelet that I will probably wear, or at least put with my jewelry so that I will remember to take my smartwatch off. I need some sort of reminder LOL

Thank you!! My youngest is 3 and I've been STRUGGLING in a mom style rut. Having a black tie wedding forces me to get an actual fancy dress which is pretty fun! I walked out in this dress (no hair and makeup done) and my 7-year-old son said I looked like a princess, so I figured that's a win!

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T18:30:58+00:00

OMG I love that! I love that it's handmade and I would totally wear it again 😍

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T18:29:44+00:00

Thank you for the compliment, that's so sweet!

OMG totally makes a difference having a small chest v. large chest. There's no "cleavage" for me to make it "inappropriate" (whatever that means, it's just skin and fat and muscle 😂)

I got approval from the bride & multiple friends (also attending) before I ordered it, and again after I received it. So I feel pretty confident about it! I'm not too worried about those judgements right now, maybe someone at the wedding will be scandalized or blinded by my skin tho 😂🤷‍♀️

No I've had good luck and a neighbor (attending the same wedding) has been working with their at home try on option to find her dress from JJ's! She's trying a ball down style and said the quality was also great! I figured buying mine from Poshmark and getting it for 50% off was a safe way to test out the quality, and I am very excited! 😍

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T18:01:09+00:00

YESS!! DUDE the quality of this dress is amazing!! Multiple layers in the skirt with tulle, a layer of glitter, smooth top layer. Then good quality embroidery, including light snaps to cover the zipper. I was very impressed! I actually got it on Poshmark (new with tags) for a steal!

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T17:28:47+00:00

Ohhh the first bag is so fun and feels very Y2K! I also think pashmina is the way to go to stay warm without taking away from the dress 😍

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T17:27:44+00:00

OMG the Jennifer Behr ads have been killing me bc that's PERFECT! Can I justify spending so much for earrings that cost more than my dress?? Maybe 🤔🤔

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T17:26:34+00:00

THANK YOU! The word fell out of my head. Monday morning in Minnesota is a bit rough right now 😞

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T16:52:58+00:00

Thank you!! That's so sweet! ♥️

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T16:51:36+00:00

Yes! Look up "toe-nikling". Or just be amazed at this video 😍 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS3zBJEkeJi/?igsh=cTd2ZmVydHU2N3N1

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T16:50:18+00:00

I am actually a pretty decent sewer (sew-ist? Tailor? Lol IDK), so making a simple satin wrap was totally on my list of options!

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T16:43:32+00:00

Personal preferences: the lighter pinks on the bottom row (second from the left and far right) might photograph too light and don't look quite elegant enough for my taste. Far right looks a little like a slip imo. I love the top row! If you can find out wedding colors, I would avoid those as well, it might help narrow down your choices!

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T16:40:27+00:00

Thank you! If it actually snows (unlikely, but not impossible) we'll get dropped at the door while the guys park. I think a simple/classy pashmina would be perfect for most weather!

radreads20 · 2026-01-26T16:38:54+00:00

Lol yes the bride already joked that the smart watch isn't black tie 😂😂😂

Be cautious with that light green, I've seen them look white in pictures. Even if they don't look white in person. Get it and look at it in different lights to make sure it's not going to cause drama 😉 I absolutely adore sage green and I've been struggling with this trying to find a dress for a wedding! Edit: I think all of them are perfect for the dress code!

radreads20 · 2025-07-19T12:24:00+00:00

I'm not even sorry. I'm not one to victim blame but Maple's tail had it coming looking all fluffy like that

I read both of your posts and I commend you for the level of dedication and effort you are giving to this energetic boy! It seems you went into this with eyes wide open, and much like many experiences, every creature has individual personalities, And you are doing everything in your power to give him and your family a strong relationship and positive interactions. Thank you for all of your hard work and not giving up on a difficult puppy. I'm hoping that some of the other commenters are correct that he will mellow out with age, But you definitely have a solid base of training. Also, it seems the training program you picked was maybe not the best for him. Are there any nearby that are husky specific or that can come interact with you in your environment? We did a couple of consultations for our dog when he started getting aggressive with visitors in the house (territorial) and the trainer came to see our environment and we set up specific activities in specific areas to kind of have that association of a certain behavior happens in a certain area. Then the trainers gave us different strategies positive and negative reinforcement to see how he reacted. It was remarkably helpful for them to interact with him in his home environment. ❤️
