Did you all have a wonderful New Year's Eve? Mine was lovely and low key with midnight being celebrated with a couple of gal pals and a bottle of champagne. I can hardly believe another year has come and gone. I don't really do New Year's resolutions so I think instead I'll make a list of thing to accomplish this year... things like take a class to learn something new (knitting maybe?), read a book a month (I already have one picked for January), take a trip back to Los Angeles (tickets have been purchased!) and sew a dress that I actually want to wear (unlike the ones that are usually disasters).



By the way, can you tell this outfit was completely inspired by the "Babes in the Woods" editorial I posted the other day. The photos reminded me that I had this J.Crew dress I found at a thrift store languishing in the "to-be-sewn" pile next to my desk. I finally felt motivated to break out the sewing machine and give it a couple of tweaks and now it's perfect.
