For the long weekend, we followed I-35 for 400 miles south and after 7 hours of driving, we were back to where it all started for us, in Kansas!
The in-laws treated us to lots of love and lots of food over our 3-day stay! I swore I gained weight just by staring at all the food! We felt so pampered and didn't want to leave anymore. The long weekend was certainly not long enough.

I really wanted a maxi dress but for some reason, every dress I try on fits oddly...

Found this at Neiman. Not exactly a maxi dress but it'll have to do. * * *
It's very soft and flowy and seriously discounted, so I'm all happy!

For a small town in Kansas, my layers of accessories is probably a bit much. A lot of folks were staring at me like I just I stole Dorothy's slippers!

Hope everyone had a great long weekend!
Can't wait to visit all your blogs tomorrow and resume on regular programming of work, blog and shopping!

We'll talk more the next time we meet. Gotta do my finals first, OK. So nervous about my papers.

loving that dress xxxxxxx
ReplyDeletehiiiii!!!!
ReplyDeletei made the header in photoshop, i used a random composition notebook from google, so that it would have a back to school theme this month!
and about the white background, super funny story. well i have this huge roll of butcher paper from art class, and i taped up one section of my room wall and floor, and then take my pictures in front. but i dont have lighting equipment, so some of the pictures turn out bad...like when the flash goes off on white?
ahhhh i didnt realize you were married!!! ahhh so cuteeeee, you're so young, and very lucky! :) congrats!
i love the maxi dress. it's so colorful and happy. maxi dresses are the best, because it looks dressed up, but without all the effort of taking care of a fancy dress!

Hi Grace. These pictures of you are so stunning. You look gorgeous and I love how the light hits your face and makes you look like you're glowing. You look so sweet and wholesome. The dress looks fabulous on you.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to read that you had a good weekend in Kansas. It's a bit of a drive, I mean 7 hours is pretty long, but I'm sure it was worth it in the end to spend time with family and eat your heart out. And I can relate to the over-accessorizing and when others look at you like you're crazy for wearing a lot of jewelry. Nonetheless, you look great and stylish.
Even though the long weekend is over, I hope the short work week has been good to you and enjoy this upcoming weekend.
Carrie
