Crazy Quilt -- Indian Cotton Block Print

I got this dress at a hippie shop in Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard, MA.
Like the maxi skirt, it also became a bikini.

I Love: Greens and Mustard

If you think I'm talking about food, well, that is entirely likely!

Beets, Shishito Peppers, + Kale from Sunday

It all started with this top made by Luv 'N' Stuff (Chicago):

I bought this plaid plush top at Sonny's, in South Pasadena [now Koi] in the early 90s.
A pullover, it was always a little too bulky, a little too warm.
I found it Sunday afternoon languishing on the floor of the wardrobe where I store my jackets.

I made a simple cut down center front and a world of new mixtures began!

I've worn it every day this week. Here are Tuesday and Monday:

Yesterday's uploads to my new Trendstartr account
So matchy matchy!

I coordinate with the kitchen floor!

Pondering the mustard and green, yellow and green while driving to work:

I end up behind trucks with these colors! And road signs! And painted road lane indicators!!!!!!

At work, I took a moment and mixed up some hues in Photoshop and got their nearest Pantone (PMS)#s

The green that I'm NOT caring for:
OMG Emerald, PMS 17-5641, Pantone's "Official Color" for Spring 2013

Too bluish for my taste.
Give me my spring green grass green PMS 363!

Crazy Quilt -- Cotton Blend Rib Knit

I got this purple maxi at Lord & Taylor in the Garden State Plaza, Paramus, NJ. Going to the mall was a big deal then - we lived out in the country far away from department stores [in Dutchess County in upstate NY]. I eventually shortened this [to a below-the-knee length].

At a 4th of July party. Yikes! Hello, Morticia!
Wish this was bigger -- alas, my mom scanned it low rez.
I searched high and low for the photo album,
but had no luck in finding it.

The shortened version, at my art exhibition in 1980 at AnyArt, Providence, RI, with my Dad.
I like how we have mirrored poses here. I am my father's daughter in so many ways.
