About Me

My photo
Bien Vestido
My name is Lesa Porche and I started this blog on a dare from five girlfriends. We call our group "D.O.T." and meet once a month to share and get encouragement to "Do One Thing" that we want to accomplish. My one thing was to find some mode of creative expression different than my day job. During the day, I'm a Brand Identity Manager for a large corporation; which is fine, especially when I get to view and discuss graphic design. But I also have a love for clothes and wanted some way to explore that. I thought blogging was for other more clever and worldly people. But I surprised myself with two things. One is that a dare is a great motivator for me. And the other is how much pleasure I get from writing little stories, styling photo shoots, clicking "publish" and enjoying the end result. I hope you do too.
