Dressed for Church



I pulled this very casual dress off the shelf this morning and decided to dress it up with a light-weight jacket, black belt and shoes, and a brooch the same color as the jacket.

 I hope the wrinkles work their way out of the dress.  I had NO time to try out the steamer I thrifted a few weeks ago.

 









I believe this dress will do nicely for my five-day trip to the Abbey of Gethesami in Kentucky next week.  It's comfortable, versatile and will travel easily.

I probably won't have access to internet and cell phone while at the Abbey.  It may be awhile until I post again.  I'll miss all you  "fashionable friends" while I'm gone!

  1. Very stylin' today. I've come to appreciate the way a jacket can really formalize a look, from jeans to a dress, and always keep my eye open for good jacket buys. Enjoy your upcoming trip!

  2. Oh, Rebecca. Is that going to be a retreat at the Abbey? Sounds like a wonderful idea. Would you pray for me? Thanks! Sincerely, Susan

  7. Hi Rebecca:
    What a lovely lady you are. I like your style and I stayed on your garden blog enjoying the background sounds of nature : )
    Your grandchildren are beautiful and the hair cut the little blond got was too sweet.
    Your photography is calming and soothing to this harried apartment dweller. It is most refreshing.
    I hope you enjoyed your retreat and happy to come home again.
    peace
