Holly Hobby is right!!! - I do love that blog you sent me.  It was choice timing too, btw, because the day you posted it I took an old sundress out of the back of my closet - now, it was not a freakin’ moo moo (I can’t believe those dresses even existed), but it needed an update.

This dress of mine was a bit too long (a few inches below the knee so it hit awkwardly) and it was just form-fitting enough around the hips that it had an odd mermaid effect.  Plus, the top was low cut and loose in an unflattering way and had spaghetti straps.  So I took a sash from another dress (happened to match) and tied it around my waist.  Then I pulled the dress up and let it sorta poof out of the top of the tight waist - kinda like if you were to tuck a shirt in to your pants and then pull it out a tad.  Before I did this though, I put a higher-cut spaghetti strap tank top on to double layer the top.  The effect was a shorter dress, cinched at the waist, and a less revealing top that made the whole thing look island-cute and great for the office.  Whoop!

And speaking of inspiration, our 30 min walks on It’s Just a Month are inspiring people already.  Three people spoke at Toastmasters last week about different things they’re doing because our blog has motivated them.  Yay!! One Toastmasters-newcomer is mediating every day - awesome.
