ugh, i've done nothing on my first day of at home vacation and my throat is sore. I AM NOT GOING TO BE SICK, UNIVERSE!
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
paperdol, I think the blouse Robin linked to is gorgeous -- pretty and sophisticated and should look awesome with that skirt, but versatile enough to probably go with a ton of other stuff you've already got.
And, what everyone else said about you and the pretty. You've got gorgeous skin and thick, shiny, usually very fun-colored hair, great eyes, a lovely mouth, and a beautifully sly wicked grin. The only better thing for you than that blouse would be something in a deep jewel tone that'd play nicely off your hair and skin.
The thing I really love about both What Not To Wears is how emphatic they are about Body Image Demons fucking with all of us, and that style isn't about being thin enough to wear the really great stuff, it's about learning how to do the best you can with the body you have (and also that it's the body you have that deserves the pretty things and the nice treats, not the mythic perfect body you're waiting for that will likely never happen). Dressing up is all smoke and mirrors and sleight of hand and misdirection with fabrics and accessories, all tricks anyone can learn.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our friend Ed was here this week and we had a talk about the "I am fat, but you look fine" mindset. Ed, DH and myself were all CONVINCED that we were ourselves fat, but the other two looked great.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm sorry, Daisy Jane. We owe you because you are our countrypeople. That's why.(That used to be enough...fucking neocons.) Arizona has heat, dust storms and a scary ignorant populace.

So true.
I think you are lovely, Allyson, not to mention that you always look effortlessly sexy (nevermind that it isn't effortless, it always looks effortless and natural on you).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I still need to shop for jeans, and more chinos. Not looking forward to that at all. Which is to say, we all have our body image demons to get past. You'll do fine, paperdol.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Daisy Jane, let me second what erika said - we owe you help because it's what people do for each other. It's what's makes a civilization civilized. (and, considering that the govenment keeps bailing out people who build - and rebuild - fancy houses on the beach and on floodplains, why not?)
