Who buys a bridesmaid dress when they aren’t a bridesmaid?

Um, that would be me. As I had posted in March, I won a $150 gift certificate to Jenny Yoo by Wedding Chicago. Last Saturday, I went to my appointment to try on some dresses. I was looking for something that I could wear to weddings that had pockets. (Pockets are a necessity for this wedding coordinator!)

After trying on many dresses, I fell in love with this one. It is perfect… but not really for my work as a wedding coordinator. It does have pockets though.

Since gem tones are going to be so huge for Fall, I was torn between Spruce and Grape. I decided to get the Spruce– they’ll go perfect with my Christian Lacroix pumps!
