Orange You in the Navy?

Happy Friday!


I had no success with photos posting using the email method for iPhone. So I created a PLAN B for Photos just in case I have to resort to using my iPhone to Post. I'm hoping you will take a few moments to read and follow the instructions for my back-up plan.

Click the BLUE LINK below to jump to the Home Page of the Share Site. Click the first Photo Album on the left. I'm wearing the Saliboat Skirt. Click the first photo to view. Use the right arrow to move to the next photo. When you are done, click HOME at the top of the page. Click on the next album below to view the product images for today's outfit if you like. The captions provide info. Use the arrow to move to the next image. Click HOME when done.

Use the Link to Anthro Closet Chaos at the top of the HOME PAGE to return for two childhood stories.

I promise, it's easy. You can also use your browser back button to return. I think! Tell me in a comment if it works.  Was it simple to follow?  Did you like?  Not like it?  Why?

Give it a try..

Despite the fact that I am a Military Brat I rarely wore Navy Blue as an adult until Anthro. I thought the color depressing for good reason. I believe it stems from the death of my Father. He died one month before my 2nd birthday. My Brother was 3 months old. After my Fathers death my Mother claims I called all men in uniform, Daddy.

My Father was an Air Force Bomber Mechanic. He died at the age of 22. This makes me sad when I think that my own Son is 23. My Father was on Hazardous Duty when the Pease Bomber he was flying in crashed and burned on the runway. All 4 men were killed.

My Mother remarried a few years later. She told me this funny story yesterday.

When I was 4, my family went by ship to live in Hawaii. Our car was loaded into the cargo hold to make the trip with us.

My Step Father BTW, was a NAVY Captain. I wish I could remember this story. But I barely remember Hawaii at all.

When we arrived at Pearl Harbor, we watched the cars unloading from the ship.

Well, the car right in front of ours fell right onto the ocean. Our car was OK.

How has Anthro influenced your choice of colors, patterns, or styles? 
I now wear Stripes, Polka Dots, Red, and Navy Blue!
