I wear scrubs five days a week, so on the weekends, I tend to wear more dresses or skirts and shirt combos. I like to think that as a woman in my early 40s, I am trendy and stylish. Nasty Gal has a lot of cute clothes, just not a lot that I, as a 43-year-old woman, would wear.

I have found myself drawn to other bloggers posts about “links they love”, so today, starts the first in a series. My plan for this series – “Links I Love” – is that it will become a monthly series.
