This dress is SUPER flattering...I kinda want it in all the different patterns that came out, though I think this was definitely the cutest.  (Emma agrees.)

Pic courtesy of WWEPW--how hard did I weep when she announced she'd no longer be blogging on the regular?  I don't even WATCH Glee anymore (shark jumpage and too many scenes starring the annoying Rachel) so I really just wanted to see what my redheaded semi-doppleganger was wearing.  So I could shamelessly steal it.

Now--has anyone ever cut out dairy?  My aesthetician STRONGLY recommended it as an answer to my hormonal-acne-chin-situation.  Are there any substitutes you like?  So far I've switched out milk for soy milk in my lattes and used some vegan cheese substitute shreds on a homemade pesto pizza.  Life without cheese is looking grim.  In fairness, I don't feel the need to cut it out completely, just dial way back.  Any suggestions?

ETA: I was eating a LOT of dairy (cheese); or at least enough that she was very skeptical and then concerned.
Her: How much dairy do you eat in a day, would you say?
Me: I don't really do a lot of milk.  The occasional yogurt for breakfast and I would say like 4-5 ounces of cheese in a day.
Her: Four to five OUNCES?  (voice of disbelief)
Me: Yeah, that's like a couple of slices of cheese and some shredded on a meal or a salad.
Her: That is a QUARTER POUND of CHEESE.  A DAY.  That is a lot of cheese.
Me: Is it?  (At this point she just kind of looked at me.)
