QE 2 allegedly has multiple copies of the same dress made in different fabrics for different seasons.<br /><br />What irks me is that when you find a nice dress in a summery fabric, it's almost always lined. What's the point of that?

Since I live in Houston, our brutally hot summer is now ramping up, and it's a real challenge to dress stylishly when it's always 95 degrees & humid. Especially if you are "of a certain age" and want to cover certain body parts!Jill Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-21055071722820586622012-05-22T21:44:37.660-04:002012-05-22T21:44:37.660-04:00While none of these are really my style, I do thin...While none of these are really my style, I do think you've captured that "easing into the weekend" vibe quite well!Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-20943234488839601252012-05-22T19:09:29.003-04:002012-05-22T19:09:29.003-04:00materfamilias: Oh no, a broken bed is serious.
