It certainly helps me get dressed in the morning.

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:

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.

It's Gingham Party Time!

Welcome to a new month of Link-up fun!
This month's theme is GINGHAM.
In a couple of weeks, I'll get all technical about gingham.
(Because I'm a professor and a textile geek and I can't help myself).
(Oh wait. I already did that here. Hey, I'll do it again!)

One is gingham, the other not. Can you tell which?

For now, give me your best shot!

Add your GINGHAM looks here:






This month's theme was inspired by Nancy and Shelbee's The Good Bye/Good-Buy Book series. They are accepting GINGHAM submissions still. See the link for more information.
