Rocio & Lee Ann....701 Whaley

Rocio, in the brilliant orange dress, is on sabbatical from her job with the United Nations in Colombia to study English at Agape language school. Part of her education is living in an American home. Lee Ann is Rocio's host.

Rocio tells me that while her dress may appear daring in colour, it is actually a traditional South American dress (the intricate detail around the neck is done by hand; I wish my addled old brain could remember more). Lee Ann's dress, on the other hand, strikes me as quite North American--a knit bodice and vintage floral fabric skirt.
