| Anthropologie's Fragrant Valley Dress by Corey Lynn Calter |
I set out early Friday Morning for the campus of my Alma Mater. It was the final day of my week long Ops Geology Class. The focus for the day on the role of the Ops Geologist in Drilling.

California State University Bakersfield (CSUB) Amphitheater
It was time to break out a new spin on my morning photo routine. I'm certain you will see a noticeable change in my rotation. Perhaps more like my former self. I worked my faithful tripod and camera remote. Does this pose above remind you of Super Woman preparing to lift the Amphitheater into the Blue? I wasn't going for that. It's my way of saying TGIF.
I graduated in 1994 with my B.S. in Geology (Environmental Studies) and accepted my diploma on this very same slab of concrete, minus a roof. CSUB hosts the Bakersfield Jazz Festival on this very spot. By day and under the stars.
I'm wearing Anthro's Fragrant Valley Dress by Corey Lynn Calter. This dress alone, can correct negative forces, and reverse a spin in the positive direction.
It falls #3 on my All Time Favorite Dress List. Unfortunately booted from the #1 spot by a Half Sister the Atlantic-Pacific Dress from Modcloth now in the #2 position.

Um...no that isn't the Robot Johnny 5 from Short Circuit.
It's the lean shadow of my haphazard photographer. Today he has managed to cast his shadow away from me. I'm completely to blame for his shadow blunder HERE.
Are you wondering what Dress has rocketed to #1?
The answer it imminent!

I had no idea The Fragrant Valley Dress had Flower Seeking Capabilities. Not only that, it appears to seek it's own kind. Irises. Such special powers are spared for Anthro's Shining Eddie Bracelet by Tataborello.
I stopped here to Enjoy.

I swear I didn't plan this. OK! To call my school Ivy League is a huge stretch. Oh the Luck of it all.
I have contemplated rubbing my hands on my FVD and casting a first Wish in hopes a Genie will appear. My first Wish? More Anthro Dear Genie!

I digress back to Thursday. At which time I am wearing Anthro's Sailboat Skirt by Odille with the Who's-Got-The-Button Top by Pilcro in White. The sizng is true. There is a narrow section up the front and center that is slightly sheer, with a double layer on each side. The sides under the arm are also single layer and sheer. You will need to layer over or under.
The Ops Geology Class focused on Pressures and Fluids in the Drilling Environment. During class I noticed a Young Gal wearing Anthro's Amplified Stripes Blouse in Red. If it pertains to Anthro, it qualifies as note worthy.

Today I had the opportunity to meet up with a Local Reader. Allison is from the Small Mountain community of Lake Isabella, an hours drive to the East of Bakersfield. She and her 3-year old son Brady met me on campus to pick up the En Plein Air Dress that was too Small for me. We chatted for a few minutes. She has the most gorgeous Red hair and perfect skin tones to show off the Brilliant, Colorful Print of Eva Franco's Dress. She was a pleasure to meet. I hope to see her again in the future.
