At first I put them on and was all "tight, not good, damn, vacation starts in two days". I calmed down, read the instructions on the box, dampened them, took the dog for a walk, and couldn't be more in love. They fitted themselves to me like a glove, they are light weight and are very cute. I will be getting more of these! Maggie,

I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal and when I see your clothes I fantasize about branching out. Starting with the shoes. Do you know how to order them? Also, Forever 21 has some cute jewelery that's also super cheap. Love it all. I’m a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal and when I see your clothes I fantasize about branching out. Starting with the shoes.

My legs are my best feature so I wear a ton of skirts. I completely agree; skirts and dresses make it so easy to pack a light bag. I'm new to the site, but I love that a lot of your pieces are vintage/thrift store. I am a thrift-store junky. I just picked up a thigh-length, light wool Banana Republic coat from Goodwill for $7.99. It's in beautiful condition. Now, I just have to find a scarf to pair with it. Oh, and I'm surprised there's not a worldwide oxygen-deficit from all the air my 6 year old daughter sucked in when she saw those peacock earrings! Awesomeness.

I don't have many skills but packing light is one of them. I can go on a month long trip with just a carry on. And I love clothes! As you said, dresses are key. I'm looking forward to your toiletries post. Fantastic post! I don’t have many skills but packing light is one of them. I can go on a month long trip with just a carry on. And I love clothes!

Never have I known anyone with such a talent for making the best of adversity, embracing imperfection, and living life to the fullest--with both grace and style. I applaud your genius for finding a way to share your "gift" with many, Maggie. May you be blessed ten times over. In case anyone’s wondering, yep, Maggie’s the real deal.
