    I was just about to boast to you, rhodie, so I'll do it here. I wore the dress to work and have gotten so many compliments on it all day, and some of the girls were really miffed that it couldn't be bought here. They all want you to send them dresses in the mail too

    So I had to snap a photo outside the ladies room - here ya go - bad quality but I felt a bit selfconscious standing there in front of the mirror I love it!

    It looks perfect on you! I love it.

    Here it is on me. I kept this one because at least the color looks good on me. The cut just looks kinda dumpy, but I'll probably still wear it. It's a long story of why I had 2 dresses I didn't love. I'm happy it looks so good on you!

    Definitely looks much better on both of you!! I got the long-sleeved one and I think it's supposed to be looser than the 3/4 sleeve one. I was thinking about the Indie dress (or maybe the Indie 2Nicki) but I have a feeling that being small-chested won't work with the Indie dress either. I really would like a wool dress, so I guess I'll just return it and keep my eyes open for something else.

    Jess - I bet the Indie cross back dress would look great on you. That's the one I got and you definitely need a smaller chest for it. Of course, it's strappy, so more summery which may not be what you are looking for....

    I have the rosa hoodie which I think is the same cut at that Indie dress and I couldn't fill it out corretly (the top). Combined with the comments about the pockets on the dress, I decided to skip trying the dress even though it looks good on the model.

    Thrift shop score! I got a really fine, lightweight merino cardigan for $1.99. It should be a perfect layer for spring cycling when the temp drops after sunset.

    Of course, this sweater cries out for pearls, so I might look ridiculous. I hope pairing it with my screaming yellow windbreaker will change the look somewhat.

    I picked up at short-sleeved Smartwool jersey (Ewetopia, maybe, in chili pepper red?) for myself for Christmas and finally had the chance to wear it today - fantastic! Slightly looser than I usually go for but it was the perfect layer underneath a windbreaker. I didn't stink nearly as much as the rest of my group at the end of the ride.

    And it looked awesome with the dark red trim on my bike.
