   Awesome outfit! I love the bright color, and the kitty admiring you from behind.

   The dye job is fantastic, and I have to say a 100% improvement. I can’t even imagine you in off white. Not at all. Thanks for the dye info. I know a few people who overdye reclaimed yarn and are largely pleased with the results. I’m looking forward to seeing your dye + denim experiment.

   I must agree with you that off-white isn’t a good color, but the dye certainly took care of that problem.
   Hopefully this isn’t creepy, but I saw you wearing your orange dress at the Capsule Design Street Festival this afternoon in front of Patxi’s Pizza. I wanted to say hi, but I was with friends and you had a crowd about you, so I didn’t get a chance. If you noticed a girl wearing bright red heels scoping you out, that was me. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the street fair–they had some really cool stuff this time.

   rachel: oh no, that’s not creepy! haha, believe it or not, people say that kind of thing (that they spotted me) or come up and say hi…and it’s great. you should have said hello! i always love meeting cool people who are reading/from the web!

   the street fair was neat, but i was feeling a bit tired/sick and strangely, not as into as i probably should have been! but i love that SF has cool little grassroots things happening like that. did you find or buy anything interesting?

   You look fantastic! I looove the orange dress. The belt just makes it all so perfect.

   Tricia, I did buy a few cool things, but I was also making a mental, “If money were no object” list. I also had my picture taken by a local street fashion blogger, http://www.fashioni.st/, although it’s not up yet. Hopefully you’ll feel less under the weather for the next Capsule event.

   Given our shared affinity for thrift stores and craft/sewing projects, I wouldn’t be surprised if I spotted you again sometime. I’ll try harder to say hi if I see you!
