I got all my cleaning done today, and I'm mostly packed for my trip to D.C. I ended up packing a bunch a jeans, tops, and knit dresses. These classes usually consist of computer nerds dressed in jeans and t-shirts, so I decided to keep my attire casual this week. I'm going to scope out the Anthropologie website tonight before I go to bed so I can get an idea of the things I really want to try on at the store. I'm so excited!

Today's photo shoot was another disaster. No, it wasn't the wind again. It was the sun getting in the way this time. Darn sun! LOL! I waited until right before sunset because that's when we usually get the best light. You see, I have a "glowy face" problem. Maybe it's all the angelic energy coming out, or maybe I'm just freakishly white. I don't know. All I do know is my husband gets this disgusted look on his face while looking through the camera and says, "You're face is glowing again." I was super frustrated today. No matter where I went my husband said "glowy face." We stayed out there until the sun went down and he still said my face was glowing. I was like, "How the f*** is my face glowing when there is no sun!" I felt like crying. When I uploaded the pictures, I expected the worse. However, they weren't that bad, considering.

Since I'm not dressing up this week, I decided to wear my favorite dress today, the Crocheted Clouds Dress. I made the look a little more casual by putting the Maximum Capacity Jacket over it, and added some color with the Cockle Shell Tights. I was terrified of getting sap on this dress from the trees. I managed to not get any on it, but I did get some on my hands. It smells really good, but man, it is sticky!

Today's song is "This Modern Love" by Bloc Party. Bloc Party is my favorite band to listen to while driving, so I will be listening to them alot tomorrow. This is my favorite song by them.

Well, I've got a long day ahead of me. I'm going into work for half a day, and then making the 5 hour drive to D.C. I'll be exhausted by the time I get there tomorrow night, but I will still try to make a short post from my hotel room. Have a great night!
