Maybe some of Patti's Visible Monday Posse sport them here.

Which Way to the Blarney Stone?

See my socks? That color green is the new hot blogger color.
I wanted to wear my new thrifted bias cut
red, yellow and green stripe skirt

and
a furry stole that I got in LA Chinatown at a curio shop.

I'm channeling Auntie Mame today!
Thinking I must Netflix that --

PMS 232 is Barbie Pink

Here's some fabric intended for Barbie
that I never used
it's a gorgeous silk chiffon with
satin and silver lurex stripes
I "liberated" it when I left the job.

Hope you had a great V-day!
