Day 24-"Countryfied"

The Dress, Top: Elizabeth & James, Shoes: BCBG, Necklace & Ring: Stella & Dot,
Bracelet: Gift from Courtney

It's day 24, can I get a Yee Haw??? I love this top but it always reminds me of a picnic tablecloth, and tying it up definitely adds a "countryfied" flare. I can't believe I only have six more days in this dress. It has gone by pretty quick I must say. I am excited to get back into my closet, but I am also nervous that temptation is going to start creeping. With the dress I have no choice, I must wear the dress. But out of the dress....I hope that I don't start to struggle with wants again. So far so good, so I will keep on keeping on.

I did get a little treat today, my bracelet from The Hunger Site that I will be wearing throughout November. It amazed me how excited I got over something that I would not have thought twice about purchasing prior to the 12X12 Project. It's actually refreshing to be jazzed over the little things, and oh how much more I appreciated opening that package!

Day 22-I'm Back!

The Dress, Scarf: Banana Republic, Belt: J. Crew, Shoes: Nike

It's so good to be back! Spending the weekend at Tres Dias was the most amazing experience I have ever had. There really is no way to describe it other than I felt so very loved, and I have finally grasped the truth of God's grace. He loves me unconditionally, not expecting anything in return but my love. I can't spill too much because it would ruin the surprise for future Tres Dias attendees. Not knowing much made the weekend so much more meaningful to me, and I completely understand now why they want to keep it that way. I met so many dear friends, and I am excited to be a part of this community for support, love, and encouragement!

As far as the dress, it is getting much closer to the end and I am SO looking forward to wearing something else in my closet. I haven't really been tempted to buy anything, other than my bracelet from  The Hunger Site which I will wear all of next month in support of the 12 X 12 Project. My purchase bought 50 cups of food, now that felt good! I hope your week is off to a fantastic start.  :)
