Some people never change their look, and wear the same hairstyle, same makeup, same clothing style throughout their life. When I look back on old photos I'm all over the place, but I eventually settled into my current hair, makeup and dress style ...
I can't understand how a single trip would knock me for a blogging loop but it happened. I've been traveling with my mother ~ wonderful trip but we are both glad to be home from Chautauqua. Hi There 🤗 What's so wonderful about this skirt? I asked myself the same question when I saw a similar pair of $600 linen shorts on the Moda Operandi website.

I'm quite at home popping over for an occasional pic, and always enjoy seeing campus developments. Right now the Colonnade of Wofford's new Greek Village is calling my name.
