A Letter to my Ten Year Old Self

New Year

  So here I am wearing a jumpsuit.  I can’t say I ever thought I would wear one, but this one is pretty damn comfy and seems to work with my curves.  Jumpsuits are a bit tricky with curves.  Admittedly, I purchased this one months ago and just finally got around to wearing it.  It’s a bit baggy looking, but I kind of like that.  I found the key for a winter look with this dark floral piece is some…
