Thursday

Today was a day where there were more teacher conferences and general running around or shall I say driving around. I may start putting in my miles to put the heck of illustrating what it is like living in the burbs, the LA burbs.

It was sunny but wanted to wear long sleeves, a yellow striped v-necked t-shirt OVER a favorite layer of grey-big-long camisole which I ordered from the Gap online and two accidentally arrived and billed for so I returned one and should not have. I wear the thing like I have two of them and imagine that is the case. Old, old, stretch Gap jeans, Pumas and turquoise jewelry.

The truth is this is my attire as an artist entrepreneur, mother, housekeeper mostly and delightfully wife.

The Bootini Ensemble

Kym and I are one in the outfit today we wore an attitude that was unstoppable because of our coats made of tattooed white elephant ears. We also wore a skirt of pink eels skin which fans out as we twirl about. Fancy gloves which the girl designed with fancy peacock feathers and jingling bells. handknitted lace yellow and soft delicate and sweet wraps around our eyebrows.

thigh high Booties made of bright purple faux fur with silver laces that goes up and over our ears.

What

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Same Old Soccer Look

Heather grey Gap T-shirt. Light blue men's Gap shorts. Big red ring. River sandals slide. But it carried over rather sophisticated for sushi dinner and a speech and debate tournament.

Peasant Day

On Friday there was such hope the repair man would finally show that no one was using the phone and everyone stayed home not to miss him. No one came so we gave up hope then he showed up at one just before we were about to leave on some errands as two kids were home for the day also.

Feeling a little blah the perfect anecdote is the peasant blouse because it always looks fresh and pretty. But I had to iron it in the hundred degree weather but it was worth it.

Thinking more about the Tea I forgot to mention the accessories of a scarf from a street vendor in nyc of Rome attractions in lilacs and golds with some highlights of blue. It was tied very loosely to a little black purse that literally fell off a truck in Brooklyn for one of my Birthdays when I was pregnant because two other much bigger bags fell off too. An artist friend worked as a trim designer for an accessories company and had these great samples that are still my favorite bags.

But the other women at the Tea looked pretty amazing and I will share their looks tomorrow.

LBD for the Tea

That is Little Blue Dress was perfect for the hundred degree outdoor Tea. Unfortunately I forgot a hat but not to worry umbrellas of every stripe decorated the backyard of five massive circular tables. The hostess went all out with a teapot theme bunching them as centerpieces, some stuffed with flowers including a fun collection of teapots displayed on their own table.

The little blue dress has the perfect neckline... the same one I have been wearing all summer. I have to find the designers' name printed in rust ink on the hem and post her here. I met her at a flea market listening to her bemoan the pitfalls of trying to get these super cute lightweight cotton dresses into stores.

This time I wore Kenneth Cole chunky black sandals from at least ten years ago. Though they are charcoal with a faint snakeskin print with three little buckles. Funny I did not wear them much until this year and now they seem to go with everything. Finally got to wear a big necklace by the jewelry designer Heather Colmar of a rust colored geode on a circular chain. My mother was wearing the same jewelry designers' more refined style necklace.

Later, on this hot sweaty day I wore another IM white crinkled cotton blouse from three years ago over a yellow cami and navy Ann Taylor pencil skirt that sits on the hips with white stitching all over the details giving it the ultimate put together sporty look. Comfort and coolness was essential so we paired this outfit with Sketcher huaraches and hoops. Big red ring.

River Sandals need a vacation

Ahhh, the river sandals could only be cool for someone living on a beach commune. But oh so comfortable in there sturdiness, nevertheless my "look" was vastly improved by not wearing them today. Instead stuck by the old standby of green and white T and blue shorts casual but crisp look. Missing not having a job today but made three podcasts to upload here fantasising about the exposure of the clothes making process being TMI or interesting or at least humorous?

Tomorrow get to show some stuff at a good luncheon of many artists.
