 the best part of the outfit was the necklace that  I scored at Kohl's.

It was on clearance and ended up being the perfect color/accessory to complete the outfit.

Love when that happens!

Today was our Visiting Teaching Conference/lesson. It was awesome to have all of the sisters there. The YW and YM were awesome about stepping up and teaching the Primary children. I loved having our RS room so full today. So much love and definitely a sea of beautiful faces. The theme of our Conference was My Sisters Hands. We talked about what our sisters hands and our own hands do...service, pray for our sisters, and  how each of us are different and to be able to recognize those differences(young hands, old hands, worn hands, etc...) and still  love and serve those sisters that we have been asked to visit teach.

 

Even though it was fast Sunday, we still had to have a treat...that they could eat after they broke their own fast. I baked chocolate crackles and made rice crispy treats. I bagged them up and attached this quote to each treat.

 

"In visiting teaching we reach out to each other. Hands often speak as voices can't. A warm embrace conveys volumes. A laugh together unites us. A moment of sharing refreshes our souls. We cannot always lift the burden of one who is troubled, but we can lift her so she can bear it well."

I am so thankful to be part of such an amazing church that has a wonderful organization for women. The Relief Society allows us to feel included and loved. I love each one of the sisters in our ward and am so thankful for all that they do and the service and love that they render.

What I Wore Sunday

Here are a couple of my latest What I Wore Sunday outfits!

 Again, I am loving the shopping and the outfits I am finding for church.

Up first, this grey skirt is from New York and Co.. This store has quickly become a favorite of mine. There is always a sale going on. I get emails from them daily and am pretty sure John is going to ban their emails from my email account any day now. The sheer(peach/grey stripe) top is from Old Navy. I loved it so much that I went back and bought the black and tan one...sure to make its appearance very soon! The grey t-shirt underneath is from Down East Basics. I love their fitted t-shirts and am collecting all of the colors, one by one! I think everyone should have one of each color in their closet. The necklace is from Old Navy and my tiny silver earning were found at New York and Co..

I found this super fun black and white A-line dress at Old Navy (on sale). It is a tank top dress so I added a black fitted t-shirt from Down  East Basics underneath. The black cardigan is from Old Navy and so are the red bracelets. Red necklace is from Charming Charlie's and the red heels are Madden Girl found at Famous Footwear.

 This outfit, minus the black shirt was purchased from Down East Basics. The black shirt was purchased at Target. The maxi skirt was on sale and so was the cardigan. Belt was a last minute add to the pile to complete the outfit. This skirt has quickly has become one of my favorites. I love all of the fun colors in the skirt. I am thinking I may need a job at Down East Basics to support my shopping habits :).

The weight loss/getting fit journey needed to happen. I feel better and have a ton more energy. At the end of the day, I have decided that the journey was all worth even if it was just for the fun shopping factor.

Happy shopping, friends!
