New line of bags...

I'm very excited to have been able to take home about 15 dress shirts from work that were going to be thrown away.....I'm going to use the fabric for a limited number of handbags. Unfortunately when I took them home my father said they were my uncles size so he took about half of them from me : ( and of course they were the more colorful ones....oh well, hopefully my uncle will not like them all.....

Neglecting you......

So, I have been really neglecting my blog and one of my resolutions is to post everyday on here. I would love to be a master blogger like some of the ones I read and have hundreds of followers. So, tonight I will make an actual post (b/c this doesn't count). My problem is, when I get home I'm tired of being on the computer all day that I don't want to get on at home. I'm also going to start working more on my bags throughout the year and continue to make different styles. So, look for more this afternoon and tonight!!

LBD HELP

Ok, so I should know what to wear with a little black dress (LBD) but I don't : ) Corinna's bachelorette party is Sat night and the dress code is a LBD, but I'm still a little sick and I'm sure it's going to be cold. I can not figure out what to wear over top to keep myself warm that will look cute since I am the only single one that's going to be there. I really don't have anything so I would have to go get something......the only think I do have is a 3/4 sleeve cardigan. Any Suggestions?!?!?!?!
