Ahead yet still behind

I managed to take some OOTD photos last week (just didn't find time to post them). I am trying to get ahead this year for Christmas....so far so good but everytime I think I am in good shape I think of other things. So far I have all the Christmas cards ready to mail next month, all the big presents and everything I need for the packaging of my homemade goodies. Yet somehow I know I will end up rushing around like a mad woman at the last minute. I keep trying to remind myself of the true meaning of Christmas so I can keep it all in perspective.

Oh yeah.....and there is Thanksgiving to host still.....oops. Well here is some of what I wore last week:

Buds & Bunches

Today I was feeling some Anthro love! For running around in the heat, I threw on the Buds & Bunches Tee (on sale now for $29.95). I really can't wait to style this top better. It is cute enough to wear with jeans but I think it has lots more potential!

Tonight I am teaching a class for some of the Laurels (16 and 17 year-olds) from our church so why not pull out my new Rising Vipers Dress. This picture does not do justice to this dress is but it is very flattering and sooooo comfy! I hurt my knee this afternoon doing who knows what so I had to wear flats (gasp)!

My hair is in a side bun here thanks to my new Goody Spin Pins which I LOVE!!! I have thick hair and little bobby pins just don't do the trick but these do job!
