Welcome back to Wednesday Links!

It doesn’t feel like a Wednesday and time seems to be going painfully slow this week. Last night, I had a bridal dress consultation with Alysia Cole, a bridal stylist I found on Instagram. It was a wonderful half hour call and I’m eager to see her suggestions on where to shop locally and what designers might work for the style I envision. I’m especially prioritizing dresses that allow me to wear a standard bra.

If you underwent a dress hunt, how’d it go? Any advice you’d like to dispense?

Japanese teens have made trading cards of the older men in their local community. Everything about it is just delightful.

Lastly, let’s partake in more public library goodness.
