Hey, I live in rural New Mexico where my only neighbors are ranchers, cowboys, and llamas... but a girl's still gotta be a girl!
I sell Avon door-to-door to make ends meet as a single mom on the edge of poverty, and I dream B-I-G of the day I can swing my hips through Rodeo Drive.

Anyone else love roller-blading? What do you like to wear when you blade? I wear shorts just like the ones in this look with a cute t-shirt. I'm glad the weather has been great lately!
As a forty-something single mom of five wonderful children, I don't have a Kate Moss figure. I'm a life-size woman, with breasts, ample hips and a sexy wiggle in my walk. I love my curves and want my summer fashions to reflect the goddess that I am.
I put this polished-yet-carefree beach look together for all of us sexy mommas:
The Miraclesuit "Utopia" Halter Tank suit is a two-piece wonder. With a pink halter on the top and boy-cut pants shirred at the waist to help camouflage flaws, your curves will catch more surfers' glances than the ten-foot waves. The two pieces allow you to stretch and jump in the water with ease.
Elongate your shapely legs with a pair of Stuart Weitzman ivory canvas "One" wedges. The retro 70's print in pink, lime, ivory, and gray, is so much fun!
Marc Jacob sunglasses protect your eyes from the harsh ocean glare while you help your youngsters build an incredible fairy sand castle.
Keep those salon highlights looking fresh with the help of a metallic straw hat.
A Lucia Mesh Tote bag has room enough for a towel, good beach read, snacks and bottled water for you and the kids, as well as a big bottle of sunscreen.
Every woman deserves to look hot and feel comfortably cool at the beach!

I added those cute wedge sandals because they looked comfy as well as adorable. I considered a thong-type of flip-flip first, but thought these were better. Anyone have any opinion?

I think simple and pretty - like this look - is the way to go at graduation. You don't want to be worried about something coming loose or sweating too much on a hot night, especially if you are indoors under lights. I tried to keep the outfit under $150, as most grads don't have a lot of cash to play with.
