I miss being in Paris for Bastille Day! There was a three-year stretch when we were there. MrB and I were hoping to go revive our tradition and go this year, but we didn’t get ourselves organized in time. I’m looking at some throwback outfit\/style photos instead.<\/p>\n

I keep forgetting that my hair was this short in 2009.<\/p>\n

In 2010, I wore a tricolor Alexander McQueen dress to pose with MrB and our friend Tom. The hotel gave us two tricolor rosettes, which I pinned them on MrB and Tom.<\/p>\n
