Oh my goodness, this new Tory Burch vacation collection is fire. I love almost everything. I did manage to pick a few - ok, more than a few - favorites for us.
One of the most fun gains from learning to sew is that it has given me options. When I see how garments are constructed, it gives me new ideas or chances to take a few risks. For example, the difference between a sundress and a skirt is not that big. Especially in the case of the Angel Mini Dress from Show Me Your Mumu. I just loved this "spicy tomato" print when I saw it - and I loved the style of dress, but I new it was going to be too short for most things.
