My 100 Day Dress Challenge is finished. My 100 days were August 19 – November 27, 2021. It was easier than I expected. No mooning, playground or underwear incidents. I was not as creative as I expected. I did not bust out all my jewelry or change much daily. The dress held up way better…
Today marks my 56 day of the 100 Day Dress Challenge. It’s been going well despite the Texas heat. I have missed three (3) days of photos to date, you are allowed to miss up to five (5). I forgot the first time, I had a migraine attack the second (migraines wipe me out for…
