In a Brown Study - #OOTD

Brown, pink and yellow. It's such a strange combination of colors (for me).
I'm working on a 30x30 type challenge. I decided to try to wear summer-appropriate garments that have been either in the back of the closet or newly added to my collection to see what combinations I can concoct. This Shabby Apple cotton pencil skirt I got last March at the TxSC Lulu's swap from Shasie of Live Life In Style. The cotton is "sticky" so it doesn't "play nice" with tights. That makes it perfect for summer, if I can find things to go with it!
I've been very happy in today's combo. PLUS, I can finally close the zipper and not have the skirt float up over my ribcage.

I chipped out the colors of the print:

It reminded of this piece of art I did in the 70s:

Maybe I should print this on fabric and wear them together?

Green Goddess Dressing - #OOTD

I whipped up this look on Saturday for the first day of my new OTIS Continuing Ed class: Advanced Digital Design for Fashion and Textiles.
The scarf-as-wrap was a last minute stroke of visibility and I anchored it with a plastic leopard pin that I'd made in 1978 (meaning I glued a pin back to one of those plastic animals that you get as part of a menagerie-in-a-bag). The scarf loosened up during the class and I ended up removing it.

I bought the scarf in Portland last year.
The color combination was irresistible!

I later moved the pin to my shirt and wore it all day Sunday.
Rawr!

This photo was Sunday's 365photo.
Yes, still pursuing that.
