Welcome back, Lisa. I missed you here (even though my own participation is somewhat spotty). You are looking as fab as ever. I am inspired by your style and like all of these outfits. You make the work-outfit shorts look cool. The dress still looks very chic to me, and I like it with the sandals and bag. Could it go with the Vans, too? I adore the colorful outfit--the matching bag just launches it, to my eye. I'm sympathetic to your hair woes; I think about a grow-out every now and then, and the idea of it overwhelms me--haha! I like your edgy looking cut. I think: ooh, that's the idea! And then I realize: oh, right, my waves would NOT do that!
