Hello everyone -- I've already butted into a couple of conversations so I thought I'd better say a proper hello! I've been reading along for about a month now, found the blog through Maria Killam's blog.

I'm Jill, and like a few others here, I live in Seattle. I love clothes, but ever since having kids they don't always seem to love me back. I'm short (5'3") and about as apple shaped as it gets -- my weight has fluctuated a lot over the years but the belly never really goes away. That plus lack of confidence about how to style outfits without feeling like I tried too hard and missed has kept me from paying as much attention to my style as I should. Angie and all the rest of you have already helped me more than you know, and I look forward to continuing to learn and hopefully to be of some help in return!

Jill
