How is the running going? How is the garden? Is your sweet Bubba back on American time after his international galavanting? Speaking of, as you know I am leaving tomorrow on a jet plane and won’t be back again (for a few weeks.)

And thanks for the extended deadline. Maybe this is one I'll make for a change. ;) This project is the perfect spring/summer clothing item (although the way the wind is blowing today….you might be dealing with some flashing issues).

LOVE the quality pieces - shoes, purse, etc. DO NOT LOVE the haircut. I'm sorry, I know I'm in the minority, and I do think you could totally rock it, but this asymmetrical cut is the new "Rachel." It's the Coach bag of hair - everyone has it. At the end of the day, though, do what you like - it's your hair! ps. Love the India.Arie reference, Tara! LOVE the classic Jackie-O look.

You will love how easy and quick it is to style. Stock up on little hair clips and cute barrettes for when you are exercising - they are my savior. Hoping I can actually complete this project...

My core wardrobe is built around classics (complete with pearl necklace) and I throw in a few fun things now and then to keep from being bored. The hairstyle you mentioned is a great idea, but I think you look beautiful anyway. The wrap skirt project is a lovely idea for the sew-along.

Have fun with it! As India Arie sings "I am not my hair, I am not this skin, I am the soul that lives within!" :) The dress is fabulous too! You should really consider making clothes for your friends who are not as talented as you are but want to look equally as fashionable!

Also, I am with you...it is better to wear clothing that fits your size (not the size you WISH you were) and a good bra. Believe me, without a good bra...the girls are somewhere around my navel or lower. ;) Cute skirt...have eyed it myself. Oh, and what is with me needing to see every woman's cleavage at work?? Hello??? Invest in some camisoles. You would look GREAT in that haircut!
