They are very comfy, inexpensive, and they do come in Tall sizes.

I think people in the Pacific NW are super casual so when you dress up at all they stare and let them you look good! Chico's is where I go if I wanna but something funky for my Mom she loves that store. I think out of all the mall stores that chicos wins for bringing the funk! <br /><br />Speaking of different styles of dress in different countries, I love when you talk about living in Russia. I can't imagine all the effort you would put into making a dress. A designer I adore who incorporates some Russian elements in her creations in Susanne Bisovski. I could wear her stuff to the grave!<br /><br />I wanted to also say thank you for all your kind words recently I wish we were neighbors taking pictures together and sharing recipes. I'd lovingly eat your Soup!<br />Lotsoflove<br />XxxxoooooKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00350442910321860733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-29276826552990784872014-05-08T21:45:42.754-07:002014-05-08T21:45:42.754-07:00Wow, you look stunning in this dress!

You are a s...Justin does love you but he is right. You are a stunner so everyone in that restaurant was staring at you! I love that dress and those shoes and the denim jacket with it-just perfect! I have to admit I hate polyester though I do have some items of it. I love natural fibres but it isn't easy to get the kind of colours and patterns I like in them. I admire things on someone else and then find I can't buy similar for myself because I just can't bring myself to buy the polyester. However, I'm having to change that attitude if I want any clothes. I also have huge troubles with dresses and need them tailored to fit me, which means making my own and altering the pattern and that is beyond my ability or interest. So I wear more skirts than dresses. Being taller than average my torso is longer so the waist of the dress never hits me in the right spot and is usually too high, or if it is empire waist it goes across the middle of my bust instead of under it. Often I have to buy a size 14 for my bust when the rest of me wants a size 12 or 10. It's just too much of a hassle. <br /><br />So I am going to be very admiring and very envious of all your dresses this month. I already am and we are only just beginning. You look gorgeous!<br />xoShawna McComberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296162660865309624noreply@blogger.com
