A Christmas Party


Steve's work christmas party was this past Saturday. Despite the fact that most people wear jeans, i decided to fancy up. i got this dress from Astral Boutique on etsy. When i spotted it, i screamed and then i pushed the "add to cart" button so fast i almost knocked over my coffee. Its hard for me to date, but Sasha assumes it is from the 1940's based on the lot of clothing she bought it with. its so unique. i'm such a ruffle-fiend.

Steve just LOVED this dress and told me about five times, "This is my favorite dress, ever." He almost always likes what i wear but doesn't always tell me quite THAT much, so that was pretty special.

As a side note, may i say that i can totally see why Susan Powter ended up with her infamous haircut. every time I go to my stylist I find myself saying, "I'd like it shorter and blonder." will i soon end up like this??? :)

The party was fun; talks with steve's work friends that are slowly becoming my friends and really yummy cheesecake.
thanks for reading, and looking at way too many pictures of me,
