Love this little soft, stretchy, faux wrap dress....40 inches long... it hits me right at my knee....perfect.

Title nine has awesome knee length wool skirts and comfy winter dresses...great yoga clothing too and I love their smart wool tights!  (I'm tall and it's aways hard to find tights that are long enough but not huge in the waist!)

Now we just need lots of rain and snow!

My Style- Color block

This is my attempt at fall dressing...see the little piece of burnt orange. =)

In an attempt to document some of the everyday things in my life....I decided to add to this blog ...maybe once a week a post on what I wore.

 (because I use this blog as a "yearbook"  and I print it out each year....I'm thinking that maybe in 20 years when my granddaughters look at my "yearbook" they can get a good laugh out of what I use to wear.)

• Color Block Tee- Anthropologie  (on sale =)
• Gray knit skirt- Old Navy

St. John Style-

{Cover up For walking to the beach}

We are going to be going away soon on a little St. John vacation.  Part of  the fun for any vacation, at least for me is the planning and dreaming before we go part.  =)

 {I love looking at old photos of my Mom and Dad ....the clothes they wore are especially fun to see....so, I thought it might be fun to document some of the clothes I will be wearing on our trip.}

This is what I plan to wear for the flight to St. John and then back- we have late flights...so, I think I may be a little cold.

For some serious shopping in the Marketplace. 

Everyday casual wear-

I'm bringing three different types of white shirts- so I can mix and match. Also sticking in my bag a few bright colored Tee's {there is a washer and dryer where we are staying....making it nice so I don't have to pack as much.}

Evening wear-

Saving this Blue dress for this place. Dinning in the ruins.

A couple black dresses....just to be safe.

 

For Riding on a white horse on the Beach at Sunset Wear.

{a girl can dream can't she?=)

 

Beach, snorkeling, sailing and dinghy wear.

Accessories and Bags-

The first bag will be used as my main bag, the second is lined with plastic for wet clothing etc. the blue striped bag is for walking to the beach etc. 

I think I'm ready.....ready, set go!

Happy Day

Where I shopped-

Most of the items were from my trip last year to Hawaii.

New this year- Travel outfit, Blue evening dress and bright colored skirt- Boston Proper, Charming Charlie jewelry, Target shoes,  shopping outfit from Anthropology.  

 

Remnants of the Past Girls day-

We are back from our girls day trip to San Luis Obispo- Remnants of the past show.  We had a absolute blast!......

How our time went down-

Friday afternoon we headed to San Luis Obispo....the drive flew by and before we knew it we were there.   We checked into our Hotel.....exchanged gifts.....then headed off to the beach for dinner.

Beautiful evening...not too cold....just right.

Have a wonderful dinner at Old Custom House, walked on the beach & dock.....perfect evening.

We stayed up way too late...but had fun talking and even a little pillow fight happened. =)

Saturday morning....headed to the show....just five minutes away.

Great displays and vendors....a little tight with all the people there.... but, ton of fun never- the- less.

One of the things I was looking forward to was meeting a long time blog friend for the first time.

Brooke from Velvet and Linens was there signing her book Patina Style.....what a beautiful women she is.... it was so fun putting a voice to the words.....and yes, she is just an I imaged....kind, humble, gracious .... and tiny. =)

What fun!

More shopping and silly fun. {As some of you may know....I'm dreaming of someday owning a vintage trailer....well Ruby Rose had one at the show....just had to have our picture taken in it.}

After we had walked/ and shopped all we could take.....it was time to head out.   We headed back down town SLO for  late lunch at Novo.  Also spent more time checking out the vintage shops there too.

Vintage Etc.

Old world Charm

We decided it was time to head home, when we couldn't fit anymore in the car.....

Poor Sandi had to share the back seat with all our treasures.....good thing she is tiny.

It was a wonderful time spent with good friends- {got home a little later than expected.....talking too much I missed our turn off and drove about an hour before we realized we were going the wrong way. {smile}

Fabulous time!   Here's a little look at the treasures I got-

Along with 3 vintage locker crates

2 tall metal vases

22 yards of burlap

and 2 vintage lamp shades.

 

 

Happy Day! 

 

Friday's Tease

Yes, this loveliness will be popping up at the Spring Event.....I promise I only have one more tease left.  {I know I'm not nice.} 

  

 

 Can't wait to share all the detail...a little later.

Happy Day

Can it be that Hard?

Love this dress.....but seriously how hard can it be for them to have made it a little bit longer- I think it would be more flattering also.

I can tell that I wouldn't be able to let this hem out- so I guess my search is on.

This is one of the reasons I rarely buy a dress- usually stick with the "Suit."

 

Had to let the hem out of the dress for the wedding- plus a skirt-

I'm not ready to succumb to granny skirts and bow tie blouses.

What's a girl to do?

All I want is a fashionable dress that comes to the knee- not three inches above it!

 

Sneak Peek.....

 

Prom- centerpieces.   More later.
