A gloomy day


I'm trying to imagine myself wearing this outfit. The coat appears to be one or two sizes too small because I can't button the buttons. I have to use a contraption from the hardware store to keep the coat closed so that my cute Springtime dress doesn't get rained on. I hang my head low because I'm feeling like a fashion flop.

A 50's look


This blast from the past reminds me of a skirt I made when I was in high school. It was a real challenge to make a neat hem on that plaid circular skirt...lots of gathers and steam to draw up the fullness. This was a very typical outfit for girls in my high school class to wear. We thought we looked pretty cool and sophisticated!

A cute aubergine sweater


Really like this cute sweater with ruffled front from Banana Republic. Thought I'd check it out on my next visit to Corte Madera. Apparently, every Tuesday there's a 10% discount on all merchandise.
