RobinF It was quite liberating going to Ikea in my dress - it is light as a feather and needs to get out more.
Roxanna I am delighted and stunned that anyone would want to transform shevia style, even a little bit - and I can't imagine a better compliment than thrifting savant!
RainB Thank you for that sweet comment!
Bijou Thank you - I laughed at that comment too, although it may be apt given my ability to ignore so many other things.
suntiger and Lyn67- well no twisted ankles so far anyway
Mirjana - thank you, #1 is my favorite too
DeAnna and nemosmomThank you!
ChristelJ Yes I have a few mid sleeve dresses and I hang on to them!
Cardiff Girl Thank you! Sometimes you just have to stomp!
Sara L. Thank you, they (and their tan sisters) appeared almost the day after I visualized them.
Taylor Thank you! You deserve and an Olympic medal for your walking in heels skills, I would not make it two steps in the shoes you wear!
Ginger Even though the sandals are not the most flattering, I needed to dress the dresses down to feel comfortable. Sneakers would have worked but it is hot!
Janet - I want to see the new earrings!
Laura - Wow, I think you have summed up my style! Seriously the hoops make a difference between dressed and not dressed for me.
Bonnie thank you! Pretty colors, sleeves and not too short are my basic dress requirements!
Suz - I honestly feel my need for platforms is a political as well as style impulse, and we may be responding to the same vibe. Thank you for you lovely words!
Katerina I find Ikea very overwhelming, but some years ago they stopped making our branch a maze you had to go through and put in shortcuts everywhere so I can go directly to pick up before I faint.
Rachylou Almost!
Joy - Thank you! Love the idea that I have a style actually.
Angie - Thank you! I could have worn sneakers with the first dress, and that would have been more obvious to me, but it was hot. I could have worn more pretty sandals but I wanted to tone down the dressiness of the dress. A denim jacket was out of the question. And yes, that is the idea of platforms - fun! And as Queen Hoops I may have to open a hoop sourcing thread next week - starting with the ones you picked and Laura modeled from Madewell, which may or may not be on my ears soon :).
