Illustration Friday: BRAVE

There are days when I really wish it was okay to leave the house in nothing but a tank top and a tutu. But as a 38-year-old mother of two, I'm quite certain this would cause some very awkward moments at pre-school pick-up. I feel the same way about lederhosen and leg warmers. hmph. I'm definitely putting pink streaks back in my hair next week- if anyone asks, I'll chalk it up to a mid-life crisis. Hair dye is way cheaper than a corvette.

    Well, I can tell you that as you get older, you really don't care as much what other people think, so hold onto that outfit! (I'm only slightly older than you, but I can feel those tutu-wearing days coming!) I always love your shapes, lines an muted colors!
