3 in a week

By on July 15, 2011

This skirt is the same skirt pattern that I made on the skirt I wore on Monday and Tuesday this week.  This one I added a kick flounce to the back, though.  Can you tell it is my favorite skirt?  I love it when I find something that is flattering and comfy and EASY for […]

A bit groggy

By on July 9, 2011

We had our rock concert the night before, and like most of them…it was during the week.  This ends up meaning that the night is late and trying to get up and get ready in the morning is hard.  I only switched outfits once before settling on this one.  It had to match the updo.  […]
