It’s… a romper! | (bottom/center) Clipped Curves Out dam spot I actually picked up this romper pattern (bottom left) a little while back and have been wanting to try it. And/or make the dress version… but pretty sure I need a romper. Who doesn’t… right!? :) Also, Rachel of House of Pinheiro wasn’t sure about her polka dot dress, but I think it’s awesome. So it’s a bit of a flash risk… gotta live on the edge sometimes, right?! :) But I’m 100% sure I would have the same problem here in Wyoming… the wind never quits! Until next time,

No Motrin No Mission

Meet my pharmacy staff! We recently had t-shirts printed for the pharmacy. Here’s part of what we included on the back, along with the phrase “No Motrin No Mission” :)     I’m sure you can guess which one is me.

August Stitch Fix

Stitch Fix #3 – The time I almost kept everything! My stylist this time, Arteresa, really got me! I loved the colors and simplicity of this fix. See also my first and second fixes. Collective Consepts Esten Button-Up Sleeveless Blouse | $ 54 | Status: Going back Stitch fix seems to think I need a lot of sleeveless blouses; I’ve gotten one in every box so far. It’s a really nice top, but it didn’t excite me enough to keep, and the armholes were too big. Danny’s take on this one was “not enough pizzazz” lol. Sold Design Lab Sara Bootcut Jean | $118 | Status: Going back What is it about Stitch Fix and their ability to find me perfect-fitting jeans!? If you can’t tell from the picture, these are actually “pull-on” jeans… almost like jeggings; they only have a button in the front, no zipper. They are super comfortable and actually the perfect length (she found me a 34″ inseam that actually seemed a little longer than 34″). If it wasn’t for the …
