Pinning or pining?

[brdgt]

I broke down and joined Pinterest. I'm trepidatious because I can see how it could feed into envy rather than inspiration. I believe strongly in being content with what you have rather than frustrating your life with wanting things beyond your means or values. BUT, it seems like it might be useful for wedding planning - so here I go!

Speaking of, if you are on there, feel free to give me some input on some wedding dress ideas. I'm feeling very uninspired right now (and it's not like I have to decide any time soon, either).

I like Pinterest because it helps my frazzled mind decide to see all my options next to each other, and I actually find that the huge glut of stuff on there actually makes me want less. I have no idea why!

My favorites of the dresses are the ones where the top half of the bodice is sheer, it's so pretty. I "liked" all my favorites!

Good point! This board has been useful for combining lists from both Modcloth and Etsy.

And thanks for the input! I agree about the bodices - I want something pretty but classy and that is a way to balance that out.

I use it in a similar way, too. Like a visual bookmark--now most things I've starred in google reader get pinned in pinterest (and then unstarred in google reader). It's so much easier for me to find blog posts or ideas with a visual cue than something texty.

I also liked my favorites!
