Purple with Envy

Well, it's wedding season. I have yet another cousin getting married (younger than me, of course). So naturally I needed to go out and buy another dress. I scored a really nice one on sale at Nordstrom. This is what I'm wearing to the wedding in a couple of weeks:


I'm not terribly excited about this wedding. In fact, my family members are taking bets on how long this marriage will last. But despite the foreboding cloud of doom that will hang over these star-crossed lovers on their big day, I'm super enthusiastic about my dress.

I'm even more pumped because I just finished my first year of grad school, and instead of stressing over 150-page papers and internships, my biggest problem for the foreseeable future is what color I should paint my toenails if I wear silver shoes with this dress. Thoughts?
