Welcome to the last day of 2014! I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you so much for being a part of my journey to Dress With Purpose, I have learned so much over the last 2 1/2+ years. It is my fervent prayer that 2015 will be your best year ever, personally, professionally and in faith!

My Purpose & Inspiration :: It is finally here the last day of 2014! Tomorrow is a new year, with new, very big goals and lots of great things to come! Heading to the hubby’s office for a half day, then we will settle in for an afternoon of football games, then heading out for just a little bit to a friends house. We will celebrate New Year’s at home! Today’s wardrobe challenge is Bring on the Sparkle so I did with this fun sequin dress, but I have to say it is gong to be very cold today for San Diego standards at 54 with a breeze, brrrrrrrr, so I had to pair it with stockings, boots and long sleeve top underneath, still trying to make it look fun and cute and stay somewhat warm.  Hope you have a wonderful New Year’s Eve celebrating with family and friends!  Blending the  inner and outer beauty to make a Godly, confident, beautiful, well-dressed woman.

My Purpose & Inspiration :: Well it’s the last Tuesday of 2014! I am just still in denial!! LOL!! Although I am super excited about 2015. Today I am heading into the hubby’s office for the whole day, plenty on the agenda to keep me busy, busy, busy! Today’s wardrobe challenge is Stepping Outside the Box and it may not look like I am stepping out of my box because I am wearing my standard black and white, but I would not ever normally put this sweatershirt with this faux leather pencil skirt and flat boots, a little on the rebel side for me. It really is fun, exciting and scary all at the same time to step out of our comfort zones, I have learned alot about it over the last couple of months, stepping into my God given purpose! Have a really great Tuesday!   Blending the  inner and outer beauty to make a Godly, confident, beautiful, well-dressed woman.

Happy Monday!

I am excited the MandaHall.com is launching and I will moving my daily outfit posts over to my new site. The new site will have so much more to offer that I am super excited about! I am working from home this morning, running a few errands, meeting the hubby for lunch, after lunch heading to watch my niece play basketball and then home to finish off my work day! Today’s wardrobe challenge is Wait A Midi, I had several options to choose from but I decided that I would stay in the comfort zone of black and white.
