I adore this Uniqlo heavyweight 100% cotton jersey dress.
I purchased it sometime in 2017.
first published sighting: 11/9/17
I counted 20 IG posts with it, and I've worn it many more times than photographed.
It is my perennial go-to for air travel.
In this photo, I'm all packed and ready to leave Houston, October 2019.
A favorite combo is with a Uniqlo flannel shirt:

Disaster struck while shopping at Smart & Final - Severo dislodged a glass jar of Sesame Oil onto the floor, it shattered, and I was in the line of fire. Major oil stains happened, which I was unable to wash out.
Fortunately I learned some good mending tricks from Kate of @visiblemend on IG. I disguised the stains with embroidery!
This week is all about hats. Judith, the Style Crone, hosts "Hat Attack" on the first of every month.
She asks us to "...display your hat, headwrap, headpiece, fascinator, hair flower, headband or other adornment for your head..." This time the linky parties shall align, despite the fact that Mercury is still in retrograde.
I'm featuring my collection of ribbon hats.
They are made in China, I think with leftovers from apparel manufacturers. I bought them all at the 99 Cent Depot in Culver City, for $1.99!
The ribbon is printed with this: "get wrapped in the fabric of MIMCO...........for frolicking"
What does that mean?
I played "match the hat" with a tee and scarf:

This last look has further permutations yet to occur. When they happen, you'll be the first to know.
My personal ribbon hat stack:
That's a drawing by Cidney Hochman behind the hats, not that you can see it.

Get inspired by marigolds this week on 52 Pick-me-up. I love their orangey yellow color.

I'm still at my mom's.
It's still gloomy weather. I'm still wearing the quilted corduroy shirt:

If I took it off (brrrr) I'd blend right into these woods along my aunt's driveway.
That is, if I lay down like a mossy log:
baby trees!
My scarf has a secret...
ducks in the paisley!
Isn't it a hoot? quack?
Connie, of Snow in the Air, gave it to me when we met up on my first day of the road trip.
She gave me a bag with lots of goodies, the most important being a bottle of water.
Yes, I started a road trip INTO THE DESERT forgetting to pack water.
Doh! Connie came to the rescue! Thanks Connie!
Um, no lack of water here. It has rained for a week. Enough already. I've got ramps to collect.

WooHoo! Paisley! I looooooove paisley!
But guess what? I only have ONE paisley shirt that sort of matches this.
(no way was I leaving the house looking like this!)
And I don't "do" skinny jeans (these are leggings to fake the look)...
And I don't go barefoot in my shoes...
And I can't wear those shoes right now because my feet are a mess [sad face]...
Let's go for more coverage and add a skirt, a scarf, and socks:
I've never used this Juicy Couture scarf, now is the time
hmmmm
wrapping it is kinda cool

actual shopping look: shirt tied at waist, scarf in bag (it was 77!)
shopping bounty: veggies and the tiny butternut squash to roast

the "everything" bangle wouldn't fit over my knuckles...
boo!
I'm still at the Photo-a-day project and I am one month from the half-way point and still have lots of jewelry to shoot. (It helps that I used to make jewelry. And doesn't hurt that I collected a lot of ethnic stuff in the 80s). I spotted the fish top in one of my heaps and thought the bracelets coordinated nicely. Later I tried on the top to see if it still fit - YES! Added other burgundy-toned items and I was ready for work and ready to join the Visible Monday gals. Go check the Visibles out! They are a lively bunch and will perk up your day!
