OOTDs: California. 2015.

I realize I actually have a California, the Outfits, post or two, here at the blog.  I guess since I travel there so much I now have to start just naming them by years.  Of course I didn't think I would have a 2015 version, but as many of you know, my great aunt passed away on July 5, so I ended up traveling back to my birth state to say my last goodbyes.  It was a great visit, and her funeral service and interment were very beautiful, just like she was.  It was also nice to see friends and relatives, of course, and even though there was a loss bringing us together, it still brought us together, which is something my great aunt loved.  :-)

I will post the California: Photos post later, but those are still all stuck in the phone and camera for now. 

I am going from most recent to furthest in dates for these outfits, starting with the outfit I wore to fly home. 

Day: Tuesday, July 14, 2015.

Where: Flight home from CA, with three airports in between.

Ease of Wear: (4.25 of 5 stars--5 being the most easy to wear.)  Any outfit is going to be uncomfortable after twelve plus hours of wearing it (barring pjs, let's be real), but considering I had this on for that long and with a very unexpected change of flight plans, with a long shuttle ride to another airport, this outfit was as easy to wear as can be without looking too sloppy.  :-)

Outfit Details:  Pants, J. Crew here; Tee, J. Crew (but I found it at Marshall's for $16--who knew they had current J. Crew stuff); Sandals, Target here; Sunglasses, Costco; Necklace, Gift.

Anecdote of the Day:  I discovered my phone can take selfie shots on timer when propped up just so on a tall bottle of San Pelligrino (those are the shots with the white background).

Our flight plans were originally Long Beach--Phoenix--DC (National) but then the little plane set to get us to Phoenix was unable to shut its door (not good, obviously), so that flight was canceled and we ended up going to LAX (SHUDDER) to fly nonstop to Dulles (double SHUDDER).  But, meh, once on the way it was fine.  I should complain less.

This is my lovely cousin, K. Isn't she super cute?

Day: Monday, July 13, 2015.

Where: Knott's Berry Farm's Soak City.

Ease of Wear: (4.5 of 5 stars--5 being the most easy to wear.)  A swimsuit, a lightweight a-line teeshirt dress coverup, and a pair of flip-flops?  Definition of ease.

Outfit Details:  Dress, Soprano (found at Marshall's); Flip-Flops, J. Crew; Bag, J. Crew; Sunglasses, Costco; Swimsuit (not pictured--but it's the yellow one), J. Crew.

Anecdote of the Day:  Soak City was so much fun.  I usually am so absorbed with going to Disneyland every time I visit CA that I always neglect Knott's, even though as a kid, we went there quite a bit too.  Soak City is the water park for Knott's and not the amusement park, but that was more than fine by me.  I should have worn more sunscreen, though, my very pale skin burned.  Eek.

INSTAGRAM of the other outfit I wore that day here, definitely more dressy than the outfit above.

Day: Saturday and Sunday, July 11-12, 2015.

Where: The funeral on Saturday and mass on Sunday.

Ease of Wear: (5 of 5 stars--5 being the most easy to wear.)  Garnet Hill's tiered maxi dress is one of my favorite summer staples (I have this version and this version, too).  So unique, very presentable, exceedingly packable (doesn't wrinkle), and comfortable to the max (groan, bad pun there).  Add a pair of sparkly, fun, casual flats, and it's a winner outfit.  Can you blame me for two days of wear?  (Well that and the fact that I packed very little.)

Outfit Details:  Dress, Garnet Hill here; Sandals, Target here (they are true to size); Bag, J. Crew; Sunglasses, Costco; Necklace, tru.che.

Anecdote of the Day:  My aunt is buried next to my uncle, and whenever I go to the cemetery, I am overjoyed that their final resting place is on such gorgeous grounds.  Nestled in the hills in between Los Angeles and Orange County, it is verdant, full of light, and in a position to see the mountains to the east. 

We stayed in Downey for the visit, and my dad, though raised in Downey, had never really taken me there as a girl.  Walking around the downtown area after mass I fell in love.  It is an absolute mecca for fun mid-century architecture.  I especially adored the Masonic Lodge.

Day: Friday, July 10, 2015.

Where: Marshall's (where I got the tee and dress above from), In and Out, and one of my many visits to the hotel's Happy Hour.

Ease of Wear: (4 of 5 stars--5 being the most easy to wear.)  The day after traveling I always feel ugh, so I wasn't surprised to wake up and feel a bit bloated and under, so no matter what I wore, it wasn't go to be awesome, but I figured a brisk walk (our mode of transport to get to Marshall's) would help.  I wanted to show some pride in the gorgeous palm trees of CA, so I decided to wear this Madewell linen tank with one of my favorite pairs of shorts.  The outfit was comfy enough, and got comfier as the day wore on.

Outfit Details:  Tank, Madewell; Shorts, Bandolino Blu (THEY ARE SO OLD); Sandals, Target here; Sanibel Reversible Pendant Necklace, Stella and Dot here.

Anecdote of the Day: I cannot believe how much my family enjoyed happy hour.  Embassy Suites has free drinks from 5:30-7:30 nightly, and the drinks kept coming.  The first day I was jetlagged (you'll see evidence of my fun while jetlagged in the next ootd), but by the second I was more clear, so I enjoyed it more.  By that point, all the relatives had come to town, including my once super bratty boy cousin, D.  He's not bratty anymore, more like an enabler.  I have to massively detox this week to make up for my CA sins at the bar.  :-/

Day: Thursday, July 9, 2015.

Where: Flight to CA from VA, El Torito for lunch, Happy Hour, and thankfully bed thereafter.

Ease of Wear: (5 of 5 stars--5 being the most easy to wear.)  I made that tee you see the day before and dang, it's super comfy.  Granted it is two rectangles sewn together and made out of stretchy rayon knit, but it was so comfy, I made it work as pjs later that weekend.  And leggings, I mean, really.  It barely counts as an outfit.  ;-)

Outfit Details:  Tee, handmade; Leggings, J. Crew here; Sandals, Target here; Necklace, Madewell here; Sunglasses, Costco.

Anecdote of the Day: This day was fine, but remind me never to start the weekend of drinks before my family gets to me.  If I had known what they were capable of, I would have waited (I had a glass of wine on the plane and a beverage of choice at El Torito).  I fell asleep easier than I have ever fallen asleep before.  AND--I slept better than I have in a long time, so there's that.  :-)

Okay, that's all for now.  Armchair travelers, some more atmospheric photos to come.  (And for those of you interested in more shenanigans, those are coming, too.)

Boden: Fall 2015 is Here!

Good Monday morning!  I am still in California, and like happens every time I come here, I get super busy and never end up on my computer like I thought I would.  I have been having fun (as my Instagram feed proves, lol, oh happy hour), so at least I *sort of* have an excuse.  My aunt's funeral on Saturday was beautiful, fitting and celebratory of an amazing life led.  I clearly would love more time with her, but the way we were able to say goodbye was exactly the way she would have wanted it to be.

Okay, so Boden has rolled out the Fall items today.  On July 13!  Years ago, the fall rollout would occur in August, so this seems so early, just like it did last year when they did the same thing.

Having said that, the fresher look of the website is appealing.  I also have to say that seeing the clothing from the fall picks that I did in their proper catalog shots makes the clothing look more alluring, too.  When the Boden preview was live back in May, they left out the catalog shots, which for many of us is what draws us in first, and so many of us were left not really loving a ton of their new items. 

This is a catalog shot.  For Boden. Yeah.  For real.

The catalog does suffer a bit, though, and I think some of you will agree that the shots with the blanker backgrounds and more muted clothing suffer the most.  It does appear a bit drab, those.  The turn does make me feel like there is a bit of "J. Crew 2011" going on here, which was not a great thing for J. Crew and unlikely to be amazing for Boden, unless all of a sudden a bunch of women have suddenly turned towards blah backgrounds and transparent looking greys and greens as their favorites.  ;-)

My favorites are the outdoor shots, but I also love the ones of the models with all the mid-century furniture everywhere.  Above is the Abigail Tunic on the model (not the color I picked in preview, but a great little dress overall) sitting in a chair I would *nearly* give my eye teeth to own.  She looks beautiful, like a 2015 version of Audrey Hepburn (what they were probably going for here).  Who doesn't want to be her, you know?

Okay, so what are your thoughts?  Any new favorites after seeing them with the catalog shots in place?  Or are you still firm in what you felt back during the Preview time?

I know that there will be some kind of banner coming for this new fall line through my affiliate program, but I don't know when the management will drop it in our links, so I will keep my eyes open, and when it does appear, I will throw it here in this post and in the sidebar.  I really hope it has a coupon attached to it (cross fingers, you all).  ;-)

Talk with you soon!

Made by Me File: Splatter Abstraction Simplicity 1590. Thank You, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner.

UPDATE (10/18/14): I just found out the news, and I won the final week, which means I won the challenge!  Wow!  I was not expecting that result, to say that I am stunned is a bit of an understatement.  I am so excited, though, of course.  :-)  It was a great time, I learned so much during these six weeks, and my competition were truly amazing sewers and I am glad to say I have gained so many friends through this process.  Thank you to Fabric Mart for hosting the challenge, and thank you to all the judges for taking their time to look at our pieces.  Their feedback was so helpful for my sewing!

This is the last entry for the Fabric Mart Fashion Challenge!  I made it to the finals.  I really hoped to go far, but honestly, because I started as the "lowest" level sewer (advanced beginner--there were a lot more seasoned sewers in the competition--churning out amazing things every week), I expected to be auf'd sooner than not.  So to be here, right now, is very exciting!  :-)  I want to thank all of you who have so supportive of my creative endeavors of late, having your sweet words and nice comments definitely helped in all those moments when I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open after a long day of sewing.

I haven't won one of the weeks, yet somehow still here, so I guess I was *just good enough* all those weeks to keep on keeping on, lol.  The final three do receive a prize, so yay!  I'll take bronze if that is what I end up being.  I'm cool!  :-)  (But wouldn't say no to a silver or gold, of course...)

Anyhow, here is my final entry, and because I want to go out with a bang (and take a big risk), I chose to create a blouse inspired by the art of Jackson Pollock, his wife Lee Krasner, and the era in which they both created their visions, the 40s and 50s. 

Before I start, the first five photos are done like I am in a magazine, but we were asked specifically to do so by the challenge (stage your outfit in a setting that will go with your vision...think of yourself as a model in a fashion spread), so understand that is why my mid-century Eames rolling chair (mine is the real deal that I was able to save from being trashed!) is perched at the edge of my driveway with the vista of the forest in the background.

Chicken Wings were so a *thing* in the 1940s.

I was asked four questions by Julie, and since my answers pretty much cover everything I would have said here anyhow, I will copy and paste those here.  :-)

Tell us what artwork, movement, etc. you chose and why you chose it. 

After reading what the last challenge was going to be, my brain *immediately* went to Jackson Pollock. I own some Liberty tana lawn called Melly that is very reminiscent of his famous "splatter" paint technique and thought I would use that at first to create a design from one of my Japanese dress books. But after doing some research on Jackson Pollock and reminding myself that the National Gallery of Art here in DC has one of his most famous works (that I also happen to LOVE) Number 1 Lavender Mist, I knew that I wanted to try painting my fabric myself, in colors I love, just like he did with his work. To see how he did his splatter paint technique, check out this link. I explain how I created my vision of his work in my fabric in the next questions below.

But he alone did not inspire me in my creation. I also read up on his wife, Lee Krasner, who also was a very successful, if less well known artist, in her own right. She was overshadowed by her husband, but her works also inspired me, as she, too, created works using a similar technique to Jackson Pollock.

The garment I decided to make is from the era of both of these artists and based on the portraits I saw of Lee Krasner, I could easily have seen her in a similar piece.

Bringing the blouse to 2014...

Then also tell us about your garment, why you created what you did and how you can use it in your life. 

I chose Simplicity 1590 which is a reprint of a blouse pattern from the 1940s.  It features a scoop neck, fitted waist, and a peplum hem. There is also a five button closure. I chose this pattern, as I mentioned above, because it looks to me like something a woman like Lee Krasner would have worn, and since I wanted to keep her as part of my inspiration, I was specifically looking for something from that era.

I also felt like the painting method used by Pollock would look good on a garment like this. I saw that other designers (recently, in fact) have used Pollock for inspiration in their collections (Dolce and Gabbana 2008, amongst others--AND Sportmax 2014--Rosario Dawson is wearing one of the dresses here).  Armed with the knowledge that I wasn't alone in my love of his unique art, I forged ahead, willing to take the risk.

I loved the idea of something so prim and ladylike being paired with something so messy and not prim. The disconnect makes this garment exciting to me.

I find it very wearable, but do look forward to washing it. You have to wait at least 72 hours before doing so, but based on how long it took to dry, I think I will wait a week and carefully handwash mine and line dry it.

I will be wearing it with jeans since it looks so cute that way, but maybe for a night out I will wear it as I did in my "editorial/magazine" photos.

Explain what fabrics you chose and why.

I chose handkerchief linen because I know linen is perfection for accepting paints and colors, so it was a no-brainer choice. I had *just* enough to make my garment with a little left over for experimenting on before I began the big painting job. After deciding on how I wanted to apply the paints--yellow, green, and turquoise were all applied in drips and gentle waves, while navy blue was applied more aggressively, I proceeded and when pleased with the results, I left the pieces to dry. It says four hours on the Tulip soft paint, but it took nearly twenty-four hours to get mine to dry fully.

(I need to point out that I needed to add water to the Tulip soft paint to get it to the correct viscosity for applying the paint the way Pollock did, in its regular form it is far too thick.)

I found that once dry, the pieces were easy to sew together, but the pressing process was very interesting and took me a long time since I didn't want to ruin all my hard work. :)

Include a photo of the inspiration too. 

I was inspired by this quote by Pollock, which allowed me to fully release and let go during the process of painting my fabric: “When I am in my painting, I’m not aware of what I’m doing. It is only after a sort of ‘get acquainted’ period that I see what I have been about. I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.”

Jackson Pollock Art: Number 1 Lavender Mist (more amazing in real life, btw); Untitled 1951; Convergence

Lee Krasner Art: Shellflower--(an article, btw, which has a lot of info on Lee Krasner); Shattered Color

Okay, that's it for now.  Again, I am so grateful for all the support.  I am definitely worn out, but feeling great that I stayed the course and kept on keeping on.  :-)

Voting will be open tomorrow and I will update this post with a link if you feel *inspired* to vote for me.  ;-)  For now, here is a direct link to the Fabric Mart blog.

Review/OOTD/Giveaway: Boden's Amy Dress Goes to School!

Okay, so many of you have seen me hinting at a big something something here at the blog, and today it is here!  More on the very fabulous giveaway (trust me, you'll want to enter!) at the end of the post. 

Boden, basically the bread and butter of my wardrobe, contacted me and asked me if I would be interested in a free garment of my choice and the chance to host a giveaway at my blog, and within maybe a half-heartbeat, I wrote them back and said, "um, yes, please." 

I told them I wanted to choose an item that would serve me well in a back-to-school way since I have recently gotten back into substitute teaching after a two-year absence of any teaching at all.  While I have clothing that is fine for substitute teaching, I love having extra-special pieces that are all at once unique and hard-wearing enough to stand up to whatever children will bring during their learning.  Boden was my favorite place to find pieces like that when I was teaching middle school.  (Heck, it was another middle school teacher who, in 2004, told me I HAD to look at this "Boden" place, since she took one look at the catalog and determined it was very "Dina.")  So rather than go with a tee or pants or skirt, I knew that my free item would have to be a dress in a lovely print made from a *washable* material that was also conservative in cut (we have a modest dress code at the school).

Enter the Amy Dress (find it here at Boden).  It fits the criteria for my needs as a substitute teacher, a lovely print (gorgeous mid-century take on plaid), washable fabric (cotton sateen lined in a poly), and a modest cut (knee-length in my size and sleeves).

In addition to the c/o dress, I added two additional Boden items to the outfit, the gorgeous Flat T-Bar Points (here, but sold out in many sizes/colors, watch for popbacks), and a pretty necklace from a few years ago.

The flats are the perfect *almost dressy* shoes while also being exceedingly comfortable, which is great when you are on your feet all day helping little ones with their school work.

Regarding sizing, I took the dress in a size 6 Long, which was chosen because the bust and waist garment measurements matched mine (with an inch for ease).  With the full skirt (and a full skirted lining), the hip measurement was n/a.  Definitely size for your chest if this dress calls your name, it is definitely more fitted through the bodice, and it has a side zip, so you need to ensure you can get it over your head, shoulders, and bustline.

The shoes are a size 40.  I was worried these wouldn't fit me and be too short, but they fit both length- and width-wise, so my US size 9.5 feet are happy as can be.

The silhouette is very classic, mid-50s, early 60s, in feel.  The detailing is sublime.  As you may have seen on my sewing project from last week, I made a vented cuff on my sleeve, so I *know* that those kind of details take time and would not be made if Boden was trying exclusively to think about profit.  That is precisely why I shop at Boden, they are special and unique, but they also care so much for details that many retailers overlook these days. 

Although you would think a back zip would work here, and I would prefer it personally, my friend pointed out that she prefers that kind of side zip, so to each their own, I suppose.

The back view is beautiful.  I really dig how the skirt pieces were cut on the bias, while the rest of the dress was cut "normally," so the plaid was going the way you would expect it would.  The way the pattern directions work together is darling and eye-catching.

The pleated collar is a lovely feature, but the seamstress in me is a bit put off by the fact that the outermost pleat right near the shoulders is not cut deeply enough (with enough fabric for the pleat), so the effect is a bit lost and looks like the pleat disappears into the underarm.  This happens on the model, too, so it isn't necessarily a size thing.  Having said that I *notice* it but no one else did.  :-)

I love this shot!  It, in one moment, shows exactly why I was excited to get this on and wear it out.  Look at that twirly skirt in motion!

The color is more grey than the photo on-line would have think, so definitely bear that in mind if you were hoping for a brighter cream color.

I have already washed it and dried it (hung to dry, not in the drier), and it is just as lovely as it was the first time I wore it.  I will give it a bit of a press and it will be ready to go for my next time!

In addition to this gorgeous dress, Boden rolled out the Isla Dress (here) in the winter rollout, and it is a wool version of this same dress.  (And I believe the Flowershow Dress--here--was the summer version of this dress, too.)  Um, yum.  I might have to get a cold weather version of this dress for those days I have to sub in frigid temperatures.

So, remember how I mentioned that a friend introduced me to Boden in 2004?  (And a blog started in 2009?)  Well, now it's your turn.  Obviously I may have paid forward my own Boden love to others out there in the internet, and Boden really wants all of you to do the same, so if you have a friend that you think would love Boden, definitely remember to participate in their "refer a friend" program which is beneficial for both you and them.  You will receive a $15 voucher to Boden after their first purchase and they will receive 15% off their first order.  You can find out more and how to refer them here at this link.

Okay, now for what I know many of you are excited to find out more about--THE BIG GIVEAWAY!

Boden has decided to treat one of you very faithful readers of this blog to $125 to spend at Boden.  (I know!  Yes!)  They ask that you comment below with the one item from Boden that you just love!  (Or more, but one is sufficient!)  I would pick from this season the Eliza Coat (here) followed by the Amy Dress (above, obviously, lol).  I could pick more, but I'll stop.  ;-)  You have until October 3rd to enter.  I will announce the winner on the morning of October 4! (The giveaway is open to US residents only, though!)

You all have a lovely day, and thank you for reading my blog and for loving Boden as much as I do!

Boden Weekly Review Roundup: Scarf, Take Two, and More.

Oh, wow.  I normally don't do this many reviews this close together, but hey, why the heck not?  It's not like it is all sunny and gorgeous here anyway.  Some reports have some of this area receiving 8 inches of rain today...that is redonkulous.  So you know, we did have a wee bit of flooding in the basement, good ole remnants of Hurricane Lee just couldn't leave without giving us a little love.  It wasn't too bad, but definitely irritating.

Anyhow, couple of things before we begin.  Right now, as many of you know, Boden is offering a diminishing discount offer that will be great for a few days, good for one day, okay for the next, and be gone on the last.  Right now we are in the "great" with 20% off.  This offer is good until tomorrow.  On Friday the diminishing discount becomes 15% off, and on Saturday it is 10% off (which is what my "normal" discount Boden coupon is).  For mobile users, I will place the code at the bottom of this post, and if you are on my regular site, you can find the coupon in my sidebar.  To see the savings, I recommend clicking on the code first and then clicking the Boden stock photos so that your shopping bag can accurately reflect the discount.

The review roundup has three types of links...one is photos of me or my kiddoes, and if you would like to see an item on us closer up, then click on that which will take you to another page...if you would like to see an item on a blogger friend, click on the link back to their awesome websites...and finally if you would like to see sizes, color choices, measurements, etc., click on the Boden stock photo to be taken to the item's page.

Boden for Women:

Printed Scarf in the olive green/grey union jack colorway.  I actually purchased the dress and the scarf together because I knew they would "go," but tonight was actually cool enough for me to wear the scarf for reals (mid-60s and monsooning).  I own this scarf in the red/blue version from the spring that was a special for Prince Will and Catherine's wedding, and if you would like a look at that one, head on over to here.  (I wore glasses with that outfit, too, hmm...I sniff a conspiracy.)  Since I loved it then, I knew that I would love this one now, and I do.  I especially love it with the dress.

I do recognize, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing, that this combo looks very flight attendant from the 1960s...I think if there was a Boden Air, Johnnie would totally hire me.  :)

If you want to know more about the Stitch Detail dress, I did a fairly in-depth review of it here at this BWRR.

CW had to be in the photo, btw.  She wears no Boden, sad face.  ;)

Close-up of the details of the scarf.  Yes, it does become a Union Jack if you unfurl the entire scarf, but all knotted up like this, you can't even tell.  I might even be able to fool the French.  LOL.

"You will find your two window exits here, and two rear exits there..."  Smile.  I think I missed my calling.


Printed Scarf. This lightweight wool scarf also come in another Union Jack shade and a couple of animal print colorways.


Stitch Detail Dress.

Speaking of the stitch detail dress, the lovely Polly was the very reason I purchased mine.  And now her lovely blog buddy, Fiona has got in on the action.  She models the navy version for us here.  (And she looks radiant, not dorky.  LOL.  I always love the comments and writing at their blog!)

I couldn't find the affiliate link to this dress, so to access the site page for this item, click on the name of the dress below!  Ah, technology!

Fun Dress. In yet another Polly and Fiona dual love of an item, Fiona has on the same dress that Polly tried on for us a few weeks back. Looks awesome on Fiona, too. 


Flippy Wool Skirt. Jacquelyn (of the awesome blog, Musings by Jacquelyn) gave us a quick review of the flippy wool skirt the other day. She says of it: I tried the Wool Flippy Skirt in 14L and 16L. I normally wear a 14 in JCrew pencil skirt so I thought one of these would work. Wrong! It was so, so huge on me in both sizes, I could grab the fabric at the waist and bunch it into my fist. Plus the length was way too long on my 5'8" frame.

I noted that this is from the Boden professional line and that it had big problems in the spring when it launched (like everyone was unable to find the right size in their items). It sort of seems to me that Boden may need to go back to the drawing board on some of these pieces. It seems so sad, too, as the clothing looks really pretty and very work appropriate. Thanks, Jacquelyn, this will no doubt be helpful to a lot of my readers!

Boden for Women Clearance Items (remember clearance items cannot be further reduced during % off sales, but can be shipped for free): 

Sateen Pencil Skirt. Leslie of the adorable Pink Tulips blog posted an IRL shot of this skirt. It looks darling on her, and at the current clearance prices, it is a definite bargain. :)


Downtown Heels. I wore it when trying on clothes in J. Crew last week. I really like how they completed the first outfit with the red popover top and leopard skirt.

Mini-Boden:

Icon T-Shirt.  So Rex wasn't going off to school today (their preschool starts next week), but he desperately wanted to wear his target tee-shirt today.  So I said okay.  And then he said, "but I can still wear it to school next week, right?"  LOL.

CW, again, no love for Johnnie this week.  Sad face times two.  Rex is even wearing mini-Boden shoes!!!

He took his normal size 4-5 and the length and fit are perfect.  The cotton is (as always) super high quality and soft, and I love how the icon is kind of appliqued on, giving the tee some interest, texture, and depth.  Definite thumbs up for any mommas out there contemplating this tee.  :)


Icon T-Shirt. Also comes in a really cool union jack guitar icon tee. Awesome.

I love this image from this diminishing discount sale. So cute!
