A writer friend, Pepper, is even bringing me a lovely black wrap with silver flowers to match the sparkly gown. She's a sweetheart for letting me borrow it for the evening as it's an heirloom. So guess this will be a vintage evening:) Wish you lived near St. Lou as I'd love the excuse to see you!!<br /><br />I can only imagine what's going on for you based on your comments here. Your eyes are on Him so you will stay steadfast through it all. I sense you're learning so much and finding Him imminently trustworthy. Prayers are with you as I think of you and your family so often. And it means so much that you would stop here in the midst of it all to touch base. You have really been missed!! And I know I speak for many, dear Amanda. Trusting His blessings will overflow for you today in many, many ways.Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-50253390185914372402011-09-12T06:52:28.671-07:002011-09-12T06:52:28.671-07:00Hi Laura!

But the Lord is sprinkling testimonies in the midst of the trials so we may be cast down but we're not destroyed... :) <br /><br />I love the name of this post, as I love the show on TLC by the same name ;) I haven't read the other comments so not sure what others are saying or where you stand right now but I love the black & silver one! It's so elegant looking and I love the details! And a shawl or wrap would be a wonderful finish! And maybe a clutch in a deep, rich plum color just to keep the essentials close at hand without lugging a big purse around ;) Oh, but no matter what you wear, my friend, you'll look beautiful!! You always have such a glow about you and that is way better a perfect dress or accessory! Like a friend of mine said once, dress as if Jesus is your escort :) Looking forward to the pictures!<br /><br />Well, I pray you have a beautiful week, dear Laura, and hopefully I will talk to you soon!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />AmandaAmanda Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372107574684016349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-68295234005176611762011-09-10T19:14:27.693-07:002011-09-10T19:14:27.693-07:00Pepper, You're such a dear!!

Don't think I have a chance of winning, either, but it's an honor to be nominated. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your comments. Praying you feel much better today!

...Hi Laura! Sorry I'm late to the party. ;-)<br /><br />I like both dresses, but I especially LOVE the sparkly one!! It's so pretty, and I imagine it looks even prettier in person. I like the idea of wearing a small shawl/cover up if you're self conscious about it being strapless. I'm sure you'd look fantastic in it though! : )<br /><br />Can't wait to see photos from the event with you all dressed up!<br /><br />Have a great weekend! I have a feeling that you definitely will! ;-)<br /><br />Love,<br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111576612128164411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-24944255673490658152011-09-09T19:17:58.817-07:002011-09-09T19:17:58.817-07:00I love them both but I think the black strappy dre...I love them both but I think the black strappy dress is smashing but which ever you choose will look beautiful on.

You're going to look lovely in either one, my friend. :) And can I just tell you, I LOVE the vintage vibe they both have -- the beadwork on the black dress and the lacy bodice on the other both remind me of the fashion in the BBC series Downton Abbey.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-67728873885472079562011-09-09T10:00:52.340-07:002011-09-09T10:00:52.340-07:00Niki, Bless you for your thoughts.

It's so fun to dress up when it rarely happens here, living in the woods. Even our churchgoers don't dress up. I miss those hats and high heels on Sundays!

I'll have to check out the Chico's/Traveler's line. Floor length is my favorite and it is best for formal occasions. Plus it makes you feel quite elegant - and is very slimming! I have a pair of black pants and a black skirt that travel very well, too, and I'm so thankful for the no wrinkle effect! I'm praying I get there safely, along with everyone else, the Lord is honored, and we enjoy the moment, just like you said, dear Mary:) Bless you.Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.com
