  1. I was about to comment how much I loved the whole 1987 look and I'd still wear with sneakers- and then I saw what you wrote at the bottom! ;-) I take back nothing. Love love love the long tshirt dress thing. VERY Claudia Kishi (in my mind).

    1. Ha! I love 80s fashion. I still have one of my long knit skirts from 5th grade. I was pretty huge back then, lol, so it still fits me as an adult ;)

  2. Hi fellow Coloradoan!! I live in Colorado Springs and have been sewing since I was 14 (1963). I love vintage clothing including hats. Saw a hat post on pinterest (Spring Begins w/A New Hat)attributed to your blog. So ended up here. So sorry about your awful year! Hope 2016 is soooo much better!
