Fashion Challenge - Stripes: Stripes Thrice

I bought this skirt at Cottage Art
in Artesia yesterday.
Look how nicely it matches my yellow scarf!

don't be surprised if you see this stripe on underwear!

Are you wearing stripes today? 
It's not too late to join in!

Fashion Challenge - Stripes: From Artesia to the Ocean

what I wore to meet up with Deborah in Artesia:
the skirt has vertical zig-zag stripes and
small horizontal stripes behind them

I bought this skirt in Artesia at Cottage Art

lunch at Jay Bharat!

I love this sweet

Then, as I was driving home,

I heard the call of the ocean...

"take me to the end...

there...

the Pacific"

It was only 56º at the beach
I improvised with the smiley blanket that lives in the car

here's the whole beach look -- pattern max

Are you wearing stripes today? 
It's not too late to join in!

Much has been blogged about the TxSC events. (Was it really almost two weeks ago? I AM IN SUCH A FOG). I will provide you with SpySketches of my outfits and random photos with blogger links.

all suited up for a day with bloggers

Kelly of Broke Style and Punky of Punky Style
Vanna the Dr Scholl's Fashion Fast Flats

Merl strikes a pose in her new caftan

Rocquelle, of Consider Me Lovely,
found a beautiful mustard blazer

Elise, of Dress with Courage,
found a sequined item for $7.99!

I found... three bags full!
Savers is awesome!

We had a "blogger challenge" at Savers - to style an outfit with our thrifted finds and post with the Twitter hashtag #TxSCthrift. The winner got a goodie bag that included Elise's new book, Thrifting 101. I really wanted that swag!!!! I had a GREAT time channeling my inner Project Runway contestant. I wore one of my combinations the next day at the TxSC Symposium. You'll have to wait a bit to see that look... Here it is.
