Day 98 of the #tracywearswool dress challenge — and I was supposed to be in Portland today.
But, I am not. Instead of meeting a fellow Woolander and going for a walk, I am still at the beach. Not that THAT is so terrible… it is, after all … the BEACH.
I found a tie-die shirt that I was going to wear on our walk because this person seems to be particularly fond of tie-die. So, I am wearing it anyway, even though we are not together.
It seems a little washed out in the top photo… so here is another. (Me, looking like I think I’m a movie star, or something!)
For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.
Hoping today – day 98 of #tracywearswool – brings us a little action in the ring of fire!!
What’s in store today:
I drove over to the local Thrift store — my daughter and I are starting an online used bookstore through Amazon: Gypsy Rambler Books. We are hoping to put low cost quality books into the hands of interested readers. Today, I went looking for books. Will let you know how it goes — and when I get a page set up for it.
This shirt is not only tie-die, but also has beadwork and sequins. What is not to lve about that!! I know that MyDaughter the Chef is probably cringing!
Cute label — I love the design!
I decided to have a bit of fun with my hair. While I didn’t find any books that I wanted to buy, I found several — like 5 — great light weight scarves, perfect to festive-up my dress for summer. Looking forward to adding them to my next dress as well!
I am ot even sure if this is the proper way to wrap one’s head, but I kind of thought I would twist it up into a Frieda Kahlo meets Rosie the Riveter style rosette.
Scarf is infinity style, with pineapples.
I had the chance to pull out my Chaco Ped Shed shoes.
I have had them for years, and don’t know why I don’t wear them more — super comfy — mad by the sandal folks.
Thanks for joining me on day 99 of #tracywearswool.
Stay tuned for the next 2 days!
Ta-Ta for Now Dahlings…
