Wearing: Wish You Were Here

Sunday, January 9, 2011

There's a blinking cursor and I can't think of anything to say.
Shocking, I know, but this deadline has me down cold.
I've met hundreds of deadlines in my life, but this one seems the mother of all mountains looming before me. I'm working on a project that is more important to me than fashion, flash sales, or outfits of the day....a project born in a place deep inside.
It's make-or-break-it time for me over here...the final stretch of a long race...the last turn around a corner that will take me somewhere new...and I can only hope I have enough inspiration and creativity left inside to complete the course.

I wanted to tell my awesome readers that whenever I'm facing challenges, your encouragement, thoughtful comments, and support help me shed my defenses yet again, take the time to enjoy the distance I've already come and push the next step forward. Much love to you all.

    Is it wrong that I have Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' running through my head since reading the title? What a feminine and positively ADORABLE look :)

    I love this outfit ~ especially those tights with the skirt! I think I drool every time I see this skirt on a blogger. This outfit fantastic and unique. I was on the fence about the tights ~ after seeing them on you, wish I would have pulled the trigger on them. Too cute as always! ~ Susan

    I loooove mustard! I'm so jealous that the Peppered and Striped skirt works for you -- and everyone else in the blogging community. The snow in the pictures are perfect. I miss snow for the photo ops alone (among other things).

    This outfit is incredible. I'm going to pretend that I don't see the covered buttons on that skirt because I am craaaazy for covered buttons...

    ...Is that weird? :P
