Fruits does not only refer to food.
There is also FRUiTS, a 90's Japanese Harajuku streetstyle magazine created by Shoichi Aoki.
FRUiTS the magazine spawned a couple of books, I have both:

In my Google perambulations, I discovered there is a current FRUiTS Facebook Page.
YES! My people!

52 Pick-me-up: Amaryllis

PURCHASED/ GIFTED/ 

It's a flower week again on 53 Pick-me-up. The Amaryllis is a lily-like bulb that comes in many colors.

I'm using red, burgundy, and pink to inspire today's look.

Yeah, stripes still. I like stripes.

I'm linking up with Patti's Visible Monday later today.

Which Amaryllis color will you link?

52 Pick-me-up: Black

PURCHASED/ PURLOINED/ 

Black is this week's 52 Pick-me-up theme. How to make black not so basic? I mixed textures:

52 Pick-me-up: 40s

PURCHASED/ PURLOINED/ GIFTED/ 

How is everyone? I read bits of posts here and there, but mostly I'm in my travel pod, the Prius. I'm feeling VERY on the edge, so to speak!
This week's challenge is 40s. I've got nothing fashiony for you. No time to do research, no time to put together a retro outfit. What I CAN offer you are my antics on US40 in New Jersey.

Go 40 on 40

Here, I commit the faux pas of wearing a Kum & Go tee into a Wawa in Malaga NJ.
Apologies for the grimace. It was a difficult selfie.

Here I am looking like a runaway at Shore Toyota in Mays Landing, NJ.
Waiting on an oil change. Not making much progress.
 I pulled the digital gear out of the car, hence the baggage.
ps: awesome WiFi.

My work station in the shade. Too blazing hot on the bench and I left my hat in the car.

As you can see, I went all out in my outfit today. Black logo tee and lounge pants and fake Birkenstocks. My white tunics were interfering with my road captures, reflecting off the windows too much. So I've gone WAY casual.

Have any 40s in your closet? Link and tell!

52 Pick-me-up: Go Dotty

PURCHASED/ GIFTED/ LINKS/

Dots are this week's theme.

If you are regular, you are well aware of the many dotted socks that I own.
You've also seen this skirt a lot.

Glamor shot, so that I can join Style Crone's Hat Attack:

 I'm still swamped with work, so I'll keep this short. Got dots?

52 Pick-me-up: Paint it Black

PURCHASED/ GIFTED/

Hi all! I'm still recovering from some surgery. No wild gestures or twirling today!
This week's theme is black.

Wearing a Tiny Bustier

Do YOU know any adult woman with an 18" bust? I think this is more kid sized, but what mom would let her little princess run around in this? OK, don't answer that.
This is what happens when samples are made offsite and it goes very very wrong. I think this one was made in Thailand. There were a bunch in the sample giveaway box at work. I took a few home.

How about as a headband? It gives off a Amish vibe almost. Or medieval.

It perhaps gets dangerously close to chemo cap...

I'm Miss Conservative today! Well, for me.

Green and Black

Linking up with Patti's Visible Monday
Have a great day!

Exposure! #OOTD

Yikes! I'm parading my 37" waist around in a tight dress! And I'm telling you my waist size! ¡Aiyiyiyiyie!
Ruth Dealy is my muse today.

Retro Mayan - #OOTD

Isn't this skirt great? I got it 2nd hand, but I don't remember where...

It called for a twirl!

Comfort Food

Some days, you just have to put on your favorite comfortable-yet-office-appropriate garments. They work and you don't have to think about it. Today was one of those days.
