Summer of Dresses
On Friday, PopFizz Daily, one of my go-to websites and blogs for everything Minneapolis, alerted me to a very exciting movement this summer: Summer of Dresses!
Armed with a posterous blog and a twitter hashtag, four girls have declared Summer 2010 the “Summer of Dresses” and are inviting followers around the world to email in pictures of themselves pant-free (because skirts count...
