You know what bites about summer? MOSQUITOES.
Every summer, without fail, I get eaten alive. I’ve tried sprays. Skin-so-Soft. Not wearing scented lotions. NOTHING HELPS. And, being the awesome mom that I am, I’ve passed this rather unfortunate trait on to my daughter. I am the coolest! We have matching bug bites!

Several weeks ago I did an in-between-sizes fashion post here on Chic Critique. Right after that, I found a great nursing-friendly dress (which are few and far between) and did a little follow-up post on the dress on my own blog.
SEVERAL people have asked me how I altered the sleeves. So I’m going [...]
