Pashminaaaaas! (Happy Dance)

Well everyone, I can rest easy and cross one more thing off my to-do list! My wonderful sister who lives and works in NYC (aka MOH M) has been on the search for sketchy street vendors selling apple-green pashminas.

These will be given to my bridal party. I was worried I'd have to get them black ones or settle, since finding that apple-y green has been hard. I see a lot that are too "clover/Kelly green," too "olive," or too "lime." MOH M took the search seriously. Here one is, modeled by her coworker.

MOH M and her coworker have been looking (working hard or hardly working, M?) and today shopped around until they found the right color. They got them in the Grand Central area in Midtown. I'm so jazzed! I had her get six, just in case BM S hits the lottery or something crazy and is able to come, or in case there's a spill/rip/pashmina loss. Worst case, I get a new pashmina for me!

And in all seriousness, I'm so happy and blessed to have such a caring sister.

Did you get your bridesmaids pashminas (like everyone else?) Oh, and anyone else want to strangle the color green and all her crazy variants?

  1. I really want to get pashminas, but I can't find a good price. How much were yours?

  2. Those are adorable!! I would love to know how much they were too. That's the absolute perfect color for me too.
    Would I be an absolute pain if I tried to arrange something with you for your sister to buy some for me?

  3. If your sister can't help, I might be able to!! I work in NYC and see pashmina tables ALL the time (there are two within two blocks on my . I think they're generally $5 each, sometimes you can get a deal when you buy multiples? They're not REAL pashmina material hence why they're cheaper but a great buy!!

  5. Those are awesome! I too get frustrated by the many different shades of green, it's so hard to find that perfect one!

  7. I LOVE pashmina's...I'm kinda jealous I'm not one of your b-maids right now! They are lovely, and the girls will love them.

  8. I did dark gray pashminas for my girls. One of my BMs picked out the color. We found them in (of all places) a kiosk at the mall, 5 for $20.

    Congrats on finally finding that perfect shade!
