Peacock Blue Ensemble
My dear friend, Amber from PA has inspired me to start creating outfits from existing wardrobe items. I came up with this Peacock inspired outfit today. Amber is trying to make 30 new outfits in 30 days. I know I can't get that far, but I will see what I can come up with.

Winter Textures
The winter landscape inspired this ensemble. Cable sweater, embroidered jacket and soft cappuccino scarf. The herringbone skirt and leather shoes are not shown, but I'm sure you can imagine.

Classy Shoes
For a long while I have wanted a pair of spectator shoes. Mum recently handed me a catalog of womens' shoes. "There's some really cute shoes in here!" I was pessimistic and dubious as I flipped through the catalog. And then! I happened on the page with these advertised. Spectator meets oxford shoe. Perfect. Stylish. Classy.

Our Very Own Miss Fannie
One of my very favorite children's books happens to be, "Miss Fannie's Hat" by Jan Karon. Our church just happens for have our own Miss Fannie, her name is Lucille. She is the most gracious host of anyone I know. When a visitor stops by her home to chat with her and have a bite to eat, it is actually is a full feast on the eat-in kitchen table. Our church honored her as the eldest mother of our church on Mother's Day with this hat from Dillard's. She wears it well.

This is What I Wear: Blue College Ensemble
A great day at college! I enjoyed wearing a new outfit (not new, just new to being styled together). The outfit is inspired by robin's egg blue and seersucker sports clothing from the 1920-'30, when people really cared about what they wore, even to casual events. When I have five classes in one day, the day seems to last forever! However when I'm dressed in a smashing ensemble, I seem to be less cynical, more positive and really think about what I do and say...even how I sit. So Happy Spring and be inspired by the beautiful things our Lord has made!

Vests from the Past
A few sketches I did several years ago. Rebecca found a laced vest at our G.W. Boutique and she created a gauze shift dress to wear underneath. I was asked to play my violin at a lady's tea/luncheon and I chose this ensemble. It was dreamy.
I have always loved vests. Fitted ones are especially nice. I like the vests English gentry wear and vests worn by peasants. I find that wearing a properly fitted vest of the appropriate color makes an outfit all that more special.Black and White Sketches by Me

Fall Weather Anyone?
When the winds alter their direction and I here geese fly over head early in the morning, I know fall is here. Leaves become muted shades, slip from trees, dance down street and tumble across our yard.Then I prepare my closet for the colder months. Plaid skirts need to be ironed and sweaters placed in a dresser drawer for quick access.
Does anyone have a good web-site for reasonably priced wool berets or other fall/winter hats?
