My Journey to Mrs. O...

C.D.

Yes, many of you are aware that I tend to be a little O.C.D.  In fact, my random quirks and need to coordinate everything is typically out of my control.  I remember sitting in a fancy restaurant with a dear friend, years ago, as we shared our need to add numbers up to ensure it didn't equate to our unlucky digit.  Okay, so maybe I'm more ODD than OCD.

Well, this need to coordinate everything would certainly make its way into my planning for Mrs. Oklahoma as I began to search for the perfect attire to express my personality.  I admit I didn't fully give of myself when preparing, and some of my closest friends can argue that my outfit choices didn't reflect "me".  However, I will say that they coordinated.

Following the never-ending sequins of my gold swimsuit, my husband picked out a lace-overlay gown when we were out shopping around one day.  It was the only style I tried on, and fit without the need for alterations.  Therefore, it won the vote and I didn't even second guess the pick.

I had glitter-gold and silver/taupe.  Therefore, I needed some color in my life.  I searched for inspiration boards to determine what to wear for my interview.  With peach being my favorite color, I knew I had to incorporate that into the mix.  Thus, it was mint to be.  I found a beautiful peplum dress to complete the color swatch I swooned over.

My final purchase was a blush dress I had crushed over for a couple of weeks before justifying the
money spent for our dinner party (and Easter). 
Finally, I had paired the perfect colors with my 6" nude, peep-toes and was ready to go for the weekend!
