I thought was the only one who still preferred the styles we wore then - shifts, simple A-line skimmers a la Jackie Kennedy, A-line skirts, etc. - classic and timeless, in my opinion. Looking forward to reading about what you make in 2014.

Don't worry about what people at work think, wear what you like! I work in a very corporate environment too and I wear what I want, no matter how short ;) I like that you've made a new year to do list, I always do the same. Top of my sewing list next year is to tackle a suit.

It would take me years to make such incredibly gorgeous clothes and don't be so hard on yourself, your "flops" are beauties!<br />Love the snap of your and your handsome cat.<br />Great resolutions especially ditching the unethical labels. The only time they can be bought is from a charity shop where at least someone benefits other than the heartless owners.<br />No NYE celebrations or resolutions for me. I'll be tucked up in bed sober by 9 ready for a 3am get up!
