Whoops, I guess this is really Outfit of the Day #3 (see Spring Wardrobe). Tea Time at Empire Coffee I got this outfit at Shalom Free Thrift Store ($15!). It's by Mic Mac.

Though it's a bit hot to wear it with the black turtle neck I was wearing.

Thanks again to Jack and Jon!

Finally spring is here so I can take out my colorful outfits and enjoy the warmer weather.  I decided to take a photo op at the Stansbury Home  in downtown Chico.  I'm wearing a Chinese inspired white shirt and a decorative skirt in patch-work design.

I'm still focusing on my purple theme for spring so I'm always finding new ways to accessorize.  It's so easy to find something dressy for springtime! See what you can find... Enjoy the warm weather!
