Thanks Ornella! I just tried to wear the bag a bit longer - it's possible - and you'right. It really looks better like that!
Thanks Kirti!
Thanks Claire! It's great in this kind of weather, I agree. I sew a bit , thanks for the tip - this might just work. The worst of the gaping is between the third and fourth button from the top and I'm able to get into the skirt with only the top two buttons open, with a bit of wriggling.
Thanks Aida! The longer strap really looks better. And that's the YLF secret santa bracelet, so it's always extra fun to wear it!
Thanks Beth Ann! The top was a great find, I already wore it quite a few times since I bought it three weeks ago.
Thanks Kiwichik! It's mostyl visible from the side. But I'll try sewing it shut.
Thanks Manidipa! I'll try it. The backwards buttons are also a good idea.
Thanks Deborah!
Thanks Jayne!
Thanks Denise! The oxfords really are comfortable. Also with bare feet. I had some problems when I wore them without socks the first time, but now that they are broken in they are really comfortable.
Thank you so much, Lemonade! It really gets better everyday, I'm a lot less self-comscious now than I was in the past. I agree that sandals would have been great with it, but I still don't have a fab pair. I'm not sure I'll be successful in finding it either.
Thanks Inge! I'm a bit stressed out at the moment, but I'll try to find some time to enjoy the sun anyway.
