NEW BLOG HEADER SIZE

Thursday

even more suitcase photos!

my room mate Karla Jensen took these photos of me last Monday for her series of people and their collections. In my case, I somehow came to collect suitcases. I have a pink one that is not pictured because it didn't quite fit with the color scheme.
The dress I am wearing is from Salvation Army in Litchfield, IL. (it was 50 percent off day!) The belt is from Goodwill, too.
She also took my picture with a view camera (where you have to look through it under the black cloak). I am excited to see how it turns out for her.
here is Karla (she's a photo major at U of I) using the view 
camera, just to give you an idea of what it looks like!
Here's a really "emotional" picture I took of Karla.. haha 
love, polly

I love your pile of suitcases and your plaid dress. Anything plaid that doesn't look like a school girl gets an A+ from me!

Cute dress. I can't find a plaid shirtdress anywhere. I am going home in October where my search will continue in their thrift stores. :) Love the "roomie" picture.

Hi Sweetheart! I saw your comment on your feature and just wanted to say again that I think you are lovely and that I am very happy to have featured you. I am sorry that you got that comment, but I hope that you saw the post I wrote about it as well, I wanted to adress it out of respect. I have been critized for not aiming my blog solely at plus size women, but I don`t want to limit my self, and I am more than my size, as are we all.
sending you lots of love!!!
