Visible Dragon Lady

I'm taking part in the Visible Monday Link-Up over at Not Dead Yet Style. I wish I could tell you why I'm doing this, but I can't currently explain it to myself. I'm not a style or a fashion blogger. I'm not sure I want to be. Most days I'm happy being Elusive Laurie.

 I've been lurking on Patti's blog for a while. Something about the Visible Monday project resonated with me. That spot in my gut that vibrates when my intuition is trying to tell me something was set abuzz, and I knew I needed to do this. I'm terrified. I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

 Hi. I'm Laurie, and today I want to be visible.


Given the content of the internet I'm most grateful it was Patti's blog that inspired me. I don't know that I'd be comfortable showing any more skin!

    Thanks Mary! It was a last minute substitution when the polka dot option unravelled. Happy accident!

    Thank you Patti! Kind comments like yours have made it far less frightening than I have anticipated. I'm so glad I found your blog, and I'm thrilled that I got up the courage to take part.

    Thank you Sabine. I'm so glad I took a chance on that skirt. I'm just starting to rediscover colour in my wardrobe. Kind comments like yours are so encouraging.

    Hi, Laurie, I know just what you mean about getting involved in Visible Monday, and then some. I never knew I could become so interested in, well, I don't think of it as fashion. More like personal style. It's very stimulating and creative sharing outfit ideas with women our age - I'm loving it! And I love your skirt!

    Hello Laurie! Dragons (so of the moment with other Asian themes) dragon pin (oooh!) beautiful blue and a tailored blazer ... and you are looking very stylish and un-fussy. Clearly you thought about what you were wearing, but didn't beat it to death! Very sophisticated.

    Thank you Jan! As much stress as thought went into the outfit. I rarely show myself on my own blog; I don't know what possessed me to share through Patti's. I'm glad I did. I am amazed by, and grateful for, all the sweet comments.
