It’s not feeling like Spring here in the Ozarks — the rain makes everything feel colder than it should be. I know, I know, April Showers bring May Flowers. But now it’s May, so I want my flowers!

I’ll take a Mexican Dress as a consolation prize, though. Check out The Mexican Dress Lady’s amazingly-simple-looking-yet-beautiful dress creation!

I love the way it looks — so long and flowy, yet very feminine looking. I’m holding back on sewing until I get a better place to do it in, but if you’re wondering how to put that old Singer to work, this is a great “try-me” pattern.

I strongly recommend this cute little dress, and it’s not because The Mexican Dress Lady enticed me with magical chiles…

…OK, a couple. I couldn’t resist. Kidding, kidding. Seriously, this is probably one of the best purchases you can make for 5 bucks. Not quite free, but unlawfully cheap. C’mon, fashionistas, get crafty

I cannot tell you how much I’m looking forward to this sizzling summer season that’s right around the corner. I’m thinking halter tops, tube tops, flouncy skirts, and dresses that go from day to night. Can I get a witness on that?

Winter time has brought Me nothing but ice storms and bra straps. Of course, when you’re fighting to stay warm, you aren’t thinking about the bra straps. But when the weather turns in your favor and it’s time to get some sun (and show a little skin!), you can’t throw on the same old bra with those big ol’ straps, can you?

I’m really starting to get on a strapless bra streak. I’ve found some that are comfy and actually hang on for dear life, instead of slipping down or flopping around. Of course, the straps aren’t leaving forever — there are so many dresses that need them!
