Tuesday Project Roundup: This Looks Like Another Vacation
Why yes, I am going on another quick trip in a couple of weeks--this time to the beach in California. (I haven't traveled this much in two years. Poor Toby!) My oldest friend is also turning 30 and has arranged a beach house weekend for eight other people, with menus and itineraries and everything else planned. So the least I could do was make a new dress for the event:
This was one of the new Cynthia Rowley for Simplicity patterns and I have to say I like it a lot. Here's a better idea of the fabric color (and my own lack thereof): 
(While we're on the subject...spray tans: Pro or con? I'm thinking con, but I don't want to blind everyone in the group with my special shade of pale, either.)

Oh Karen, it is amazing! I have that pattern, but I think I like your version better than the ones on the pattern cover. And as usual, your fabric choice is perfect. I might definitely have to copy you on this one.
As far as spray tans, I tend to lean toward con. There has to be a nice medium between pastiness and jersey shore, but I think that shade is quite elusive.
My sister forwarded this post to me and I have to comment...I LOVE your dress. I totally have this pattern too and am inspired to make it now. Beautiful job!
looked at my watch it was nine twenty one was at a rock and roll dance having nothing but fun
Definitely con on the spray tan.
Another "con" vote on the spray tan... too much potential to end up looking like an oompa-loompa (classic 70s version, as orange as the sofa in the shag-carpeted den).
Hey, you're from a winter time state! Own your geographical pastiness!
OK, OK, no spray tan! :) Thank you all for the advice. Erin, go for it--it's a fun pattern! Kara, copy away because I'm totally copying your yoga bag. Contrapunctus, hi again. And yes, Jason, I will own the pale.
