Children of the Corn

The corn is taller than me.  It grows so fast.  Soon, it will be time to harvest.  At least I finally got my picture in front of it.

Mixing Prints

Some of my relatives looked at me kind of strange when I wore this outfit, but they just sighed and turned back to their fashion magazines.  What did the magazines have on the cover?  Yes, You can do mix prints!  We'll show you how!

Patchwork Fun

The weekend was a blast with the 4th fireworks and all.  I enjoyed wearing my patchwork shorts that I was finally able to repair after getting into a fight with a rose bush. (The bush won.)  Now it is time to rest up because the Toledo Lighthouse Festival and the Lagrange Street Polish Festival are on tap for the up coming weekend.

Tie-Dye

Usually most tie-dye is found in t-shirts and hoodies, but I lucked out a couple of years back and found this tie-dye tank top at the Erie Street Farmers Market for $10.  Since then I have tried to find more but no luck.  I guess I will have to do it my self but tie-dye is so messy!

Thanks J. Crew

I was flipping through a J. Crew style catalog when I came across a model wearing a turquoise shirt with olive pants.  It reminded me of a similar pair of pants that I saw at Walmart that escaped my clutches because of some bills I had to pay.  Then I realized that I had a turquoise t-shirt laying on my exercycle waiting for a match.  I jumped up and found my olive shorts and brown sandals.  Then the scarf started crying because it had never been worn.  Turned out to be a great match.  So much so that a lady at Walmart said she just loved how it matched.

What's wrong with Turquoise in the Fall?

I was reading some blog posts in the Taptu Reader on my Nook, when one caught my eye complaining how it is fall but people are still wearing "so-called" spring turquoise.  It seems the point was that the turquoise should have been restyled for fall by wearing either black or grey.  After I picked up my eyeballs that had popped out because of reading such stupidity, I started looking at some of my fashion magazines, and wouldn't you know it, they were all talking about light colors for fall.  Not only that but head-to-toe monochromatic color looks.  So I decided to kill two birds with one stone or turquoise.
