The Best Knit Dress

I adore this Uniqlo heavyweight 100% cotton jersey dress.

I purchased it sometime in 2017.

first published sighting: 11/9/17

I counted 20 IG posts with it, and I've worn it many more times than photographed.

It is my perennial go-to for air travel.

In this photo, I'm all packed and ready to leave Houston, October 2019.

A favorite combo is with a Uniqlo flannel shirt:

Disaster struck while shopping at Smart & Final - Severo dislodged a glass jar of Sesame Oil onto the floor, it shattered, and I was in the line of fire. Major oil stains happened, which I was unable to wash out.

Fortunately I learned some good mending tricks from Kate of @visiblemend on IG. I disguised the stains with embroidery! 

yes, mending while flying

All in all, a very Good Buy!

It's time to take a trip down SpyGirl memory lane!

My first post for this blog was a selfie, sort of:

I started SpyGirl as a place to post fake visual journal entries for International Fake Journal Month. 

I sketched what I was wearing every day from 3/25 through 4/28/10 in a small Moleskine blank book. I created the fake persona SpyGirl for this fake journal and she has taken me through many blogging adventures!

I crawled through my early posts to find my first documented full figure outfit selfie:

I also sketched the outfit.

Well, it took me a while to photograph myself, right? Haha.

That corner of my back patio is now totally overgrown by a Rose Geranium. [gotta do some trimming]

I'm curious -- what was YOUR first "Fashion" selfie? Did you crop your head out? Is it just part of your body (Remember Arm Parties)? Is it an awkward mirror pose? Is it your first blog post? Let's share!
