What a fun morning! Today I had 3 girls between the ages of 6-10 over to our headquarters. These girls go to a school called the Logan School and they get to chose a subject that they are passionate about and explore hands on.

They asked me wonderful questions…
What does beauty mean to me?

What are some things that go wrong when a fashion show happens?
What is my favorite color?

So inquisitive, creative and fun!

I’m wearing my vintage hand-me-down dress, stocking cap and leather gloves with a furry faux-bear jacket that I thrifted at Goodwill for $5.00. These boots aren’t great for this weather though.. I have to walk where there is no ice.

Margaret looks like a classic Sprocket from SNL, comfortable, chic, and minimal. Don’t know Sprocket? Check it out here 🙂
