Wow you look really good! The colours and patterns work very nicely and I absolutely love the way you do your hair. Teach me someday?

Wow I think that this looks really great, and the colors look nice on you. Don't be soo hard on yourself Julie.

Hate to say it. I'm with Alecia in that fit on the pants is less than ideal. Cuffed below the knee is a good length for you.

What a gorgeous, fresh colour combination! Like a whole trayful of tropical fruit sorbets, plus icy white.

You've already had great suggestions on pants length and fit; so I'll only say I love your hairstyle! Do you ever wear it down?

Congrats on your first WIW. Your hairbun is very fun and perfect for a hot day.

Hubby is so sweet, pretty bun indeed, the spicy colours team You so well, perfect croped length, just a bit pouch in the crotch area, which I do often have it, also-and never goes away (ha! only if wearring a longer top:-))see what others say, but congrats on your very first WIW!
You look officially Fabulous!!!:-) Wellcome!

Wow! you ladies are all so helpful and kind. I really appreciate your thoughtful replies.

Alecia, Annagybe, Lyn67 - re: poochiness - YES! I hate it, never thought about the drape of the fabric. I guess that's the reason. A longer top would be helpful, thanks Lyn.

Nanabear, ManidipaM, Lisa - thanks for sweet comments about the bun. It's pretty easy to do - I will maybe do a few snapshots sometime to show how. Lyn67, I rarely wear my hair down cause it is really curly underneath (straight on top - how's that for a weird combo?), and it bugs me to feel it on my neck. I'm always in a ponytail or bun type of do. I'm a bit tomboy-ish in that I don't like to fuss with it, so the up-dos keep it outta my way.

Dawn you are so kind.

Again, all of you, thanks a million for the warm welcome!!!
