YOU GOT THAT WHERE?

 

a continuing feature (whenever I remember)

Burburry and Ralph Lauren for the price of a sandwich? Of course!

 It was cold this morning, so The Doctor had to dress accordingly.  Vintage Burburry overcoat $5 at a yard sale, Ralph Lauren sweater By the Pound store maybe 50cents.

The hat is old and so are the gloves. Slacks were bought new at JCPenney's on sale. And the shoes are new.

The woman I bought the coat from told me she'd moved from up North and her husband didn't need the coat anymore because "It doesn't get cold here"  Really? It was 30 this morning. The yard sale was in the summer. Thank you, lady.

Ragamuffin drama queen?

 

I took this with my old, found it in the make-up room camera. Which (probably) explains the blurry quality. Or........it's arty.

Back to school happened, so that means it's audition week for the Spring Shows! There will be high drama in the hall on Friday afternoon. Who will be cast as Evita? Stay tuned.

SHARE-IN-STYLE: FAVORITE COLOR

 

This month's Share-In-Style is Favorite Color. You can link up at: mispapelicos.com

 

My favorite color is black, and white print. There was a time I pretty much wore only black, white and red. Now I've embraced the color wheel. But I still favor black and white prints. I've awful at mixing and matching patterns (even after 20 years in a costume shop). With black and white I can add whatever color I want, and don't have to wonder if I look like a sick rainbow.

WHEE!!!!!!!!

 Even the floors and cat are black and white

 Looks great with purple ( my second favorite color)

See what I mean? It's everywhere ( this is a year old photo, I've gone from 6 to 8 dresses)

I think I may finally be over the cold I've had all year. Three cheers!

Went back to work yesterday. We took a field trip to Tallahassee to pick up sewing machines, shop with our student designer and drop some costume pieces at Florida State. We have a trade agreement with them. They wanted some can can skirts and we'll be getting some of the beautiful pieces they have for Evita. It works out great for both costume shops.

 

PANTONE PARTY, HOT COLORS FOR 2014

 

What am I talking about? Why Spy Girls 52 Pick up challenge, what else?

 

Cerulean, Fuchsia Rose,  True Red, Aqua Sky, Tigerlily, Blue Turquoise, Sand Dollar, Chili Pepper, Blue Iris, Mimosa, Turquoise, Honeysuckle, Tangerine Tango, Emerald, Radiant Orchid.

Those are the Hot Colors for 2014! What's the difference between "turquoise" and "turquoise blue"? How the heck do I know?

Rocking turquoise last summer

 

My "Radiant Orchid" Hanna Anderson clogs from years ago. Yep, that's me, ahead of the trends again.

And it looks like I changed my blog's colors to "Fuchsia Rose" and "Blue Iris"......2 weeks ago. Hey, call me awesome.

I came across an article about the "hot colors in home decor for 2014" the other week. Hold onto your hats: gray, off-white, mustard yellow. Which explains why every home decorating show has been featuring those colors! Why, why, why would you paint your walls gray? It pulls all the color out of your skin and makes you look dead. And whatever happened to sage green? Just think how many people are re-painting their living rooms right now.  I'll stick with periwinkle.

I'm linking up to Spy Girl, you should too!

WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 80

 

Here's a dear lady to brighten up the day.

 

 

 

I think I'm pretty much over being sick (for the year) This morning I did some tidy upping in the spare room/office. And I vacuumed.

Polar Vortex, anyone? It got pretty cold here, low 20's and the usually plants that die in a freeze did. I'll be pruning those  back this weekend, when it will be the in mid 70's. Say, WHAT? Crazy ass weather!

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

 

 

 The last of the Christmas goodies. My bestie , MTW, and I usually exchange gifts at New Years. Because The Doctor had to be at work on Jan 2nd, we mailed them to each other this year.

 I got a box of scarves. 7 of them, that came in little brown paper bags, tired with strings

When I'm better, I just might!

I got sick on New Years Eve with a touch of the flu. I'm really happy I didn't have to got back to work yesterday. I have an extra week to get better.

WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART79

We play a game on Jan 1 called "First one in the New Year......."  I get to be first one in the New Year to get sick!!!!! I win!!!!!!
