It isn’t raining rain, you know…
I'm over at Tish's again today, where it's all about violet, and navy, and grey.

Of course you do... ... View the Post

A Travel Capsule Wardrobe – Packing for spring break – no bikinis, no shorts
The most interesting thing I've discovered in building four spring break wardrobes is how many items can be worn regardless of one's age or preferred level of modesty. Every wardrobe has had a striped tee shirt or two, a Chan Luu bracelet, ballet flats, the same white denim skirt, a tote bag, some simple tee shirts, and a cardigan or two. Timeless, indeed!

Wardrobe: navy, gray, pastels, and lots of outfits!
Someone commented that when they looked at the camel and navy wardrobe here, they just imagined that the camel garments were gray...

Partly, I really love the plaid pants, but moreover, I wanted to show what kind of options are possible when building on a solid core. And yes, I would wear those saddle shoes in a heartbeat!
Secondly, the ... View the Post
