I love this outfit because the sparkle makes it feel so fancy and fun. It would be a wonderful outfit for a holiday party because of its beautiful sparkle. 

Both of these outfits are super cute and comfortable. They would be lovelyoptions for those hard-to-decide-what-to-wear holiday parties.

This month, I am participating in Dressember. Dressember is a collaborative movement where women take on the challenge of wearing dresses for the 31 days of December to advocate and raise awareness for sex trafficking. I have made a goal to raise $500. I am not very near that goal yet, but there is still hope!

It has been really difficult this Dressember because I am constantly  dwelling on the fact that I may not meet my $500 goal. I read a story the other day of a woman who was participating in Dressember as well. She lives in a country where there is deep poverty and money shortages. She kind of put everything in perspective for me. She had to remember, as do I, that yes, raising money is good and beneficial, but you may not meet your goal. And that's okay. You don't have to meet your money goal. The point of Dressember is to raise awareness, then money may come as a result. So, I am not going to focus on money. Because money is not that important. If I don't meet your goal, oh well! At least I have been advocating by telling people about it.

So, I am not going to push you to donate. I want you to donate, IF that is what you feel God telling you. If you feel that you need to donate to an amazing cause that frees women and children from sex slavery, then do it. But, if not, don't. Either way, I encourage you to talk to others about trafficking and the fact that there are more slaves now than there have been before. Have difficult conversations, and tell people. Because that's what makes a difference.

If you would like to donate, you can do that here. Also, if you would like to learn more about Dressember, you can here. Thanks for reading my rambles. :)
