I totally get (and applaud) that there are differences in what is appropriate and makes different women feel beautiful. But I think those of us who like a little sex appeal are, at times, under-served. <br /><br /><br /><br />FYI - I didn't necessarily do a whole post about each of those techniques/features (some yes, some no) - my links are to the projects that featured them or to posts where I referenced the technique/tutorial that I used, for my own future reference.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-52696369398792630092014-01-10T06:42:16.056-05:002014-01-10T06:42:16.056-05:00Lots of beautiful sewing, and your fashion risks w...Lots of beautiful sewing, and your fashion risks were inspirational - long love the frosting diet!Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-43591684731399256272014-01-10T00:11:08.751-05:002014-01-10T00:11:08.751-05:00What a beautiful haul for the year!

I'm not really into stunt dressing, but I just don't see why I shouldn't give myself the freedom to overdress even on an average day. So, perhaps my version of cake could be called "wearable frosting".Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-21128022814074944872014-01-09T15:25:43.781-05:002014-01-09T15:25:43.781-05:00Do I?
