2nd Annual In His Image Awards


This past Sunday was my church's second annual "In His Image" Awards. This is the end of the year banquet where those who have worked hard are recognized. My husband decided he didn't want to go so I made it a girls night out with just my daughter and me.

i had no intentions that we would match and didn't even realize that we did until I saw the picture! I found my daughter's dress at Macy's for $20. She absolutely loved it. I found my dress on sale at JCPenny. I wore the black wrap with it because I don't like to wear sleeveless clothes and the dress was a bit to big and reavealed a little more than I would have liked at the top. I really do like it though so I plan to have it altered and maybe wear a camisole under it to give me complete coverage. :)

I think this was my first formal event with my hair in its natural state. Loved it and can't think of any reason to go back.

  1. What a great mother-daughter photo! I have a similar picture from a church banquet with my daughter when she was about 4. Just like you two,we were able to find matching dresses. It's one of my favorites.

  8. Love the natural hair! It is very becoming. The dresses are pretty and how fitting that they matched...I thought you were going to say In His Image meant something about your children being in your image, but nonetheless, beautiful photo and memory!
