I included a bunch of photographs in today's post as a sort of narrative to accompany the outfit.  Take from it what you will!

Jess and Kevin will be coming in tonight and I really want to have at least one item posted on the shop's site before they get here (Jess is really excited and anxious to see what it looks like and I want to surprise her with at least something).  However, the combination of a lack of technological know-how on my end and it being that time of the month (all of my energy seems to literally slough of with the rest of me... I hope that image isn't too horrific for you), is definitely working against me.  No matter how many tutorials I watch on Etsy I still seem to be lost in some confused state when it comes to figuring out the logistics of everything.  Once I have a breakthrough, though, it will all come together rather quickly I hope (at least that's what usually tends to happen in my case).

I'm including two photographs of yesterday's outfit.  It seems I should have included views of the shoulder pads.  Hopefully you (most specifically Krista and Jess) can get a better sense of the silhouette with these. (Click to view larger)
