Went to the annual gala fundraising lunch for the charity my friend is a director of yesterday. This is the same dress I wore to my friend’s daughter’s formal wedding last year. I had the hem shortened so I could wear it more often & for day events. Still love it & am glad I’ll have more chances to wear it now than as a long dress. Everyone was wearing very bright floral dresses at the lunch. It was so much colour and vibrancy it was verging on too much for my dark soul. 🤣🤣🤣

We’ve been having a warm snap so it was a lovely spring like day despite it being winter. I still took & wore my overcoat! It was black of course.LOL!

It is a great dress! I love the pattern. The positive/negative space reminds me of looking up to the sky through trees while laying in a field.
How was the event?

I bought this shirt randomly because it needed a 100% cotton shirt and it was organic (I wanted to see if it was worth it) but every time I wear it the words seems to get attention 🤣.

Today after Uni/College move in for my daughter the words are 100% for me because we moved her into a walk up only building.

Oh it does. What a beautiful analogy @GreenTealael. The lunch is always very well done but it is such a mix of emotions as it deals with the loss of children. There’s a memorial slide show which is heartbreaking & a video with parents, grandparents & siblings talking about their loss. It is balanced with great MCs, entertainment & live auctions (men get so competitive 😁) and raffles drawn.

Wha does your t shirt say! A walk up. You would have hit your steps in. Lol! Is this your baby leaving home?

The shirt says Take Care of Yourself . I definitely hit my exercise goals for the day and my arms are sore from carrying boxes.
Yes this is the baby! Am I still allowed to call her that? I remember being called the baby through my late 20’s even after having children of my own 🤣.
