Colors of the day (#COTDstyle): linear and fun patterns and screaming pink! All the motifs in my crazy vintage shirt have black outlines = Linear. Plus all the rest of the prompt. Dig that WIDE collar. #iwillwearwhatilike #cotdstylechallenge

Friday's prompt (Past and Present) sent me down the rabbit hole of searching for times I posted images of that kimono fabric tunic.

Here's the first, the OG SpyGirl:

And here's the craziest combo:

Hello 2019

Long time no "see".

These are my "Tiny Planets" for the work week. I make them with an app, using elements of my outfit. 

The app bends the photo into a circle.

I've been posting my outfits on Instagram.

Here's what I wore to work last week:

Tuesday's tri color selections are: coffee brown, terrific teal, happy yellow! #COTDstyle All on the back of my shirt, though my "teal" is really green.

Rain or Shine, I've been shooting Daily Trucks since August 2015! I had this dress printed by @redbubble so I would coordinate with my 2017 art exhibition at the reception. #cotdstyle See recent truck images at #dailytruck_amb

As you can see, Friday's outfit was the favorite!

For this post, I learned how to embed IG posts.
So easy.
On Instagram, you go to "More, ie the triple dots" and choose "Embed".
You'll then get html code to paste into wherever.

Primarily Striped

The #COTDstyle color prompt was "Red, Blue, Yellow".

This was a fun mixture, embellished with a second-hand scarf obtained in Portland back in 2011:

and leggings from Society6 with my own art:

Available HERE (I get a commission)

Bright, just the way I like it!

Checking In!

Hello strangers! I've been active on Instagram, silent here.
Last year around this time, I wrote about the Instagram/Facebook Color of the Day Challenge (aka #COTDstyle).

Here is my favorite combo from the past week, the challenge was Black/White.

Olive Oyl x Moschino x Lularoe

Today's #COTDstyle Challenge is "POP ART MADNESS AND CRAZY BLACK!"
I immediately thought of my Moschino Boutique Olive Oyl scarf:

and my Lularoe leggings:

I bought the scarf around the same time that I got the "BOOM!" scarf.
I was imagining it bigger than what arrived in the mail.
I hung it up, and contemplated what to do with it (not a big wearer of small square scarves).
When I recently got the leggings, I immediately added them to the scarf display. They were instant friends.
But what to use as the transitional base to sew the scarf into?
I think it will be the confetti pattern behind Olive Oyl.

Stay tuned!
Pattern clashing. My métier.
