Welcome to our second week ofPURPLE on 52 Pick-me-up. Aubergine is French for Eggplant. Eggplant is a blue-greyish purple, not to be confused withWine, which has a deep red cast:

What's with the rainbow action? Miz Bagg has gone on "extended holiday" (I say she's having work done) and she sent me off to be monitored by SpyGirl again.
Some sort of Rainbow Project thing.
Gah. Next it'll be unicorns.
No road trip.
Just hanging out in L.A.
With rainbows.
Cue eyeroll.
Did you know that SpyGirl started life as a fake journal/blog? It's true!
Are you afraid that you're "not creative enough"?
Well, you can even "journal" in a blog format, you don't have to keep an "artsy" analog visual journal.
If you have had an itch to start a blog but are too shy -- invent a persona! I did!
Or, you HAD a blog, but you got bored with posting outfits (or whatever) -- make it a FAKE one!
(I'm looking at YOU Maricel. I MISS YOU! "Blogging Besties" does not count!)

I'm doing one of those "Post 5 Artworks..." challenges on Facebook [find mine here], and I thought I'd make it more complicated for myself by making blog posts with the art. Each day a different blog. [Yes, I have 5+ blogs. Ack!]
We are at Day 5, which brings us to SpyGirl, the fashion blog that consumes me. The other blogs? I write posts occasionally. SpyGirl has showcased my fashion passions since March 2010. This marks my 863rd post.
Through SpyGirl, I returned to fashion sketching. I'll be showing a rainbow of digital catwalk sketches at TAG Gallery, November 22 - December 17, 2016. The over-40 fashion/style blogging crowd will be featured. There will be a fashion party during the exhibition, and you'll be the first to know the details if you sign up here.
Yes, Patti is a saint. She hosts a huge link-up party called Visible Monday on her blog Not Dead Yet Style , and she comments on every blogger that links. That's more than a hundred comments, EVERY WEEK! Amazing.
We are finishing off our seven weeks of blue hues with Navy.
I was all set to have this be a post about Poshmark and selling this Navy and wine striped dress from Uniqlo:
That's not a pin at my chest. It's the size sticker.
I was going to sell it NWT [new with tags]
A funny thing happened while I was taking my product shots...
Rare view of my butt.
I decided that I liked it after all and I'm not going to sell it!
It's super comfortable!
I just need to remove the pockets -- the pocket bags are too bulky on my hips.
My hips are big enough, thankyouverymuch.
Here's the saga of why I have this new dress that I thought I didn't like:
Upon arrival, it didn't live up to my fantasies (a hazard of online shopping). I wanted to send it back, but a mail-in return was going to incur a "restocking charge". Sigh. I could return it to a local Uniqlo store but never made it within the 30-day deadline because of a combo of laziness and the holiday season (I don't "do" malls during November/December).
Anyway.
It's a keeper, for now. I like how it looks with the argyle tights.

Back to the subject of Poshmark.
I've had some success with sales, and have racked up some "bank" to shop with.
I went on a Quest for Mexican huipils, etc, and found this:
Yes!
Mine!
I thought from the photos that it'd be a darker blue, but that's OK. It's lovely.
Signing in at Patti's Visible Monday, like always.
I'll also link this up with Judith's Hat Attack for April.
Navy or any other Blue / Quest -- Link and tell! I'm changing up the link-up schedule and will have it open for a longer period starting next week. For this week, here are all the "BLUE" linkups. I've reopened them, so add to whichever shade of blue you coordinate with. ;-)
Ink Blue or Navy

Electric Blue is this week's color for my 52 Pick-me-up linkup party.
It seemed like the right moment to wear the colorful paisley top that Maricel gave me a while ago:
It matched my cyan Uniqlo tee and nicely clashed with my gilded paisley scarf. Electric Blue =very visible, catch me at Patti's Visible Monday.
Electric Blue / Impatience -- link if you have the inclination!
