But I do need to figure out a better topper if I take these to NY! It would be fabulous to see you in Paris!!

Having my skin covered lightly always makes me feel cooler. August isn't always miserable, and statistically, July is the hottest month in NYC, DC and Baltimore. (We always seem to pick the hottest day to take a day trip to DC. Let me know when you are coming, and I'll pick a different day!) The shows at the Met and FIT are a must see in my book, too. <br /><br />Also based on your posts, I made a Presto top! Brilliant! I don't sew much from patterns, so it took me a while to get my head around the directions. But once you do, it is so easy. There will be a couple of these in my Paris wardrobe this fall. We are going for the fall months this year, so I might see your group. Especially if you are wearing your lovely coat!365 Dresseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05370083544324974912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-48975872372630342902016-05-30T21:30:39.095-07:002016-05-30T21:30:39.095-07:00I made two pair of white leggings today.

Last year at DS#2's graduation, it was sweltering- in mid May! Lots of families in shorts. I wore a knit dress from Lands End and fit right in- I even looked dressed up! So be comfortable and be you.
