Style GeoInCalifornia Coming Soon! The Powdered Pigment Dress by T Reese!

It sure is a fabulous morning.  I snapped a few lovely morning light images this morning.  But before that, just a few things to note.

Enamel Button Cotton Cardi in Dew Drop - by Gap Orig $40 Sale $35 - Feb 2011
Tomorrow (Thursday April 28th) is the last day to submit your outfit ideas for Style GeoInCalifornia, for a chance to win a $25 Anthropologie Gift Card. 

There are currently 9 entries.  Can't beat those odds. Just click on my Wye Valley Dress on the Right Side Bar for information.

This weekend, I will don my eBay Sniped Wye Valley Dress and Jemima Shrunken Cardi.  Then I plan to take massive amounts of photos while making changes using your suggested accessories. Monday I will post all the photo's and place a Polling Station on the Right Side Bar, much like I did for Inspiration That Rocks.   Except this will be a whole lot more fun and less work for me, since I conned, I mean promised the winner a reward. 

Don't forget to look for the final Style GeoInCalifornia Post on Monday.




My OOTD's focus is on Anthro's Powdered Pigment Dress by Tracy Reese. I love an easy to style dress that doesn't have to fight for attention.

All Leather Handbag Handstitch Patent Green - by Orla Kiely AW08 - PerriBerri Orig $620 Sale $400 - April 2009 
Highest Vista Platforms in Navy - by Frye - Anthro Orig $188 Sale $99 - May 2009

Look!  Sandals!  This time my toes are polished. Sticking to Green and Blue, along with Neutrals, I went with Orla Kiely's All Leather Handstitched Patent Handbag in Green. 

I rarely wear clogs.  From my experience, they tend to attract negative attention when walking the tiled hallways around here.  But, Anthro's Highest Vista Platforms has a non slip pad on the sole that also muffles the clang, clang, clang. These came in Navy with Blue, and Fuchsia with Yellow.
