Dazzle your coworkers and friends with this beautiful summery blouse! It's lightweight, fun, and flouncy. For future mamas who are shopping: because of its loose and flowy design on the midsection, you could be a several months pregnant and no one would even know. It's in like-new condition, but it's priced low because I got a good deal on it, so why shouldn't you?

Introducing "Very Melody"

 Apparently, I have a signature style. I was first made aware of this in college, when a friend teased me about my floral-everything. My backpack and purse were sprinkled with flowers, and my clothes usually had some sort of floral design. She grew to expect it. One day I came into the classroom and she said "Melody? You're wearing stripes. Are you  okay ?"  Another day with different friends, I pulled out my phone, whereupon one friend said to the general audience: "Ooh, I like your phone case! It's very  Melody ." I laughed at having my name used as an adjective, although it later occurs to me that my husband does the same thing. Just the other day, my mom-in-law did it too. Since I wanted to start this new line of clothing but wasn't quite sure how to classify the style, I simply decided to call it "Very Melody." In this category, you will find things that are...

"Catharine" Floral Skirt, Size PM - $14

This chic, A-line paneled skirt with a little bit of flounce on the bottom is a perfect blend of "nice" and "casual."  Price: $14.00 Shipping: $4.00 Brand: Coldwater Creek Size: Petite Medium Measurements: Waist: 31" (has some stretch), Length 27" Material: Skirt - 58% Linen, 42% Rayon; Lining - Acetate Note: You can purchase the shirt as well for an extra $7. It is size large and has a bust measurement of about 41" minimum (that is, it stretches a lot beyond that). In the pictures above, the shirt was too baggy so I pinned it back to look better for the photos. However, I discovered that putting it in the dryer shrank it back down to a reasonable size. The picture below is accurate to how it fits, on the same model, post-drying. ;)
