While re-sale shopping I fell in love with two dresses ... so bought them both and saved one.<br /><br />Last year I felt like a princess in the spaghetti strap, sparkly purple gown that laced up the back (if you're interested, I have pictures on my blog under the ACFW tag!) ... until I walked up the wrong stairs to get my 2nd place award and ended up on the platform above Brandilyn and Pammer!<br /><br />'Member that?!?! :)Christina Tarabochiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917807123445539587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-35422880955709390112009-09-05T21:13:03.134-05:002009-09-05T21:13:03.134-05:00I'm late to this post, but my daughter just sp...I'm late to this post, but my daughter just spent an hour "helping" me try on my clothes. :) Business casual is my work look too; the only thing is that I prefer NOT to wear suits or jackets. I have lots of pretty blouses with accessories and such, but no suits.<br /><br />Trying not to stress. WHat will be, will be!<br /><br />For the banquet I'm wearing my little black cocktail dress. I have sparkly accessories including a pair of way cool cross earrings...very sparkly! <br /><br />Can't wait...just a few days now!Gwen Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062502118990955905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-45978167080820084122009-09-01T05:04:50.059-05:002009-09-01T05:04:50.059-05:00I didn't realize you were doing a whole confer...I didn't realize you were doing a whole conference thingy! Awesome. :-) I have to go shopping because most of my clothes are either at-home, at-beach clothes or they're church clothes. Or I have a lot of slacks that might be too fancy. Sooooo, mall, here I come, as soon as I can unload the kiddos on hubby. LOL<br />Thanks for the link on my blog. I couldn't open it in a big window so I'm scrolling through your posts and will find it in a sec.<br />Thanks for this post too!

Modest shorts were given the green light this year. I guess they didn't want anyone fainting.<br /><br />Everyday attire: pants and T-shirts or casual tops. When I'm working, it's business casual. Sunday is also business casual and occasionally a skirt or dress. I avoid skirts and dresses because heels make my feet hurt!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

Got 'em at Sam's for about $6. :) Sweats in the winter, though. And (gasp!) Spandex when riding my bike. (Spandex shorts with the padded butt, actually.) I totally know why cyclists wear those tight shorts. It really DOES make that big a difference. :)Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807404107561910704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-81583445765681449052009-08-31T08:21:33.454-05:002009-08-31T08:21:33.454-05:00I found an old dress in the back of a closet that ...I found an old dress in the back of a closet that I've only worn once.
