    Thank you guys for the compliments. I'm really having a love affair with dresses right now, it just makes it so easy to get dressed in the morning.

    I made this dress from a very flowy cotton voile from Simplicity 2549. It's kind of like wearing pajamas. Super comfy, I plan on remaking this pattern, in fact going to cut it out tonight!

    What are you wearing today??

    Shirt from Anthropologie Skirt Homemade Shoes from Amazon (can't remember who they're by) I wasn't too sure about this outfit when I left home, but when I walked into my office 2 coworkers complemented me.

    The Middy Thread

    Kamikat, you've inspired me to grow mine back out, it's just the in between lengths that bother me, but I'm thinking about wigs for that, we'll see.

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I love Mac Ruby Woo, I know that's been on here before, but I find it stays on all day and that it doesn't feel too "lipsticky". I'm a chapstick girl most of the time, so I don't like something that is overly glossy or mushy. I do want to try the Kat Von D stuff now though.

    does anyone wear wigs or hair pieces?

    You guys make me feel better about wanting to wear wigs. I have short hair, I cut it off to get back to my natural, but I miss being able to style it. I decided over the weekend that I want to start wearing wigs to work and such, but I wasn't sure if I'd look too weird. Now I'm convinced...

    I made a wedding dress for a friend of mine. It turned out pretty well, I'll post more pictures after the wedding in a few weeks. It's from McCall's 4490 view D. I also made the garment bag it's in.

    So, do you wear Sunscreen?

    I wear sunscreen every day of my life, I'm half Irish and half Scottish so I burn quite easily. I also wear wide brimmed hats in the summer, but I'm looking at carrying a parasol this summer, I dunno though, I worry about looking too weird walking around. I guess though my skin is worth it...

    Saddle shoes

    Thank you for posting this. I found a pair of oxblood mary janes by Dr. Martin's at Ross for $15 so I got them, I wasn't aware that they are a vintage style. I'm always looking for vintage styled casual shoes, nice to know I have a pair! I also really want a pair of saddle shoes, but I'll...

    Oh no..dishpan hands!!

    When I was cleaning houses part time I found that my hands got really damaged from the chemicals and soaps.

    Remix Shoes!!

    In an effort to stick to my weight loss goals, my prize for my self is new shoes every 10 lbs, I'm thinking most of those are going to end up being re-mix shoes, they seem like shoes I could wear everyday! And they come in great colors.
