holiday party 4::worn.

tonight was the staff christmas party at the church. it was a lovely time, and the 2nd of 4 parties this weekend, 4th of 7 (i think) total parties this season.

two words about this outfit: wrap dress. is there anything better? i think no.

OK, i think there are a few more words. first, my hair is parted down the center today. i can't decide if i love it or it's weird looking. second, i'm wearing the same tights from my last post, and i'm still madly in love with them. i want them in every color of the rainbow. still.

dress: liz lange maternity for target
tights: banana republic outlet
shoes: forever 21

the season's first christmas party::worn.

tonight was the christmas coffee at the church. my MIL, SIL and i hosted a table where we served chicken spaghetti (so yummy) and chocolate truffle cheesecake with a ganache topping and white chocolate snowflake decoration. i made the cheesecake from a recipe in this month's southern living magazine. it was awesome. totally tasted like a truffle. the ganache was my favorite part. we had ganache on and in our wedding cake so it holds a special place in my heart. and my tummy. ha.

the dress was fairly casual tonight, but i did want to be a bit festive since it was a christmas party in the evening. sequins and skinny jeans did the trick. i bought these jeans on clearance at ross just yesterday. they are still a bit baggy, and i did quite a bit of pants hiking as a result. i can guarantee i will grow into them.
