    My dream Spring wardrobe would be comfortable loose fitting clothes I could work in the yard in. I no longer work and can afford to dress any way i choose so I would like clothes that are comfortable and can breathe to make a beautiful yard.

May it be a love letter to your body and all she’s carried you through.signed, your curvy running buddy
