At nine the world was open to me. I could be a ballerina, an actress, an airline hostess, a teacher, a model, or a nurse.

Oooo. youve got me all excited for this series.: )
I discovered your blog…and discovered I am a size 6 pear. I love shopping for tops, and I detest shopping for bottoms- they never fit my waist.
I am also a kindergarten teacher, so knowing what to wear to work (as well as what’s affordable in the budget) is something I’d love to figure out. (No pun intended!)

Love how you presented the post! Very creative!
I always wanted to be a vintage-style children book illustrator, like Carolyn Haywood.

And stay tuned, dressing for your unique figure is a recurring theme.
Thanks for stopping in.
