On the Fly

On occasion I've been known to pull together a pretty sweet outfit without even trying. Case in point: yesterday. The screen door place called to say it was ready for pick-up (as you may recall it flew off the hinges Beverly Hillbillies style over the long weekend and...uh, yeah we'll just leave it at that) so I pulled on a skirt, hiked it up as a dress, added a belt and a little lace vest and ta-da!

Why have I never tried this before? Mysteries of the universe.

    Why do things look a million times better on you than on the model...if I just saw it in the store or online I'd walk right by....

  15. I've found my outfits are better when I just throw stuff on as well. I over-think my clothes too often.

    You look amazing. If I had the right pieces, I'd recreate this in a heartbeat.
