Electric Sequins
Hi! First day of the month and it’s a brand New Year. I can’t imagine a better place than Austin Texas to kick off 2011. The Bahamas is chillier than here. I’m Jess, and I’m wearing this dress to raise $48k to build a school in Ethiopia, one of the places where I grew up. Here’s a lil bit more about me >
I know that 48k is quite a lofty goal, but the good news is, I have sponsors to help! So every $1 you guys donate becomes $5. I am super determined to make this happen. These kids are currently going to school in a classroom made of sticks. Seriously >
See you tomorrow, I’m about to head to brunch somewhere Tex Mexy.
2010 is so yesterday. xx.wasabipear
Today’s Outfit: Hand sequined vintage gold V, Ethiopian cross pendant, and staple Mary Janes.

First of all, I’ve got to tell you that we all adore you at U.P! Your comments are just as delightful as yourself. We died when we you sent us your LBD Friday pic, totally epic. I have private sponsors through the foundation which I am so pumped about. I think it’s going to be a great month!

You’re from the ATX? Where at?? I’m headed to Zilker to soak up my last couple hours of sun!

Late but not too late I hope. Welcome in the model position and thinks for your further work at UP. Always excited to hear news from the blog. And now to your dress, awesome, I think, this might be the dress for me, if it just were a bit longer! Also love that you’re gonna show us some business style. And your high goals. I’ll help as much as I can.
