I dreamed of a thin stripe scarf last night. (Not sure why) It was more nautical looking, light, a little stretchy, rayon. Either deep navy or black stripes. When I decided to look for something today I decided something gray and cream might look better or go with more of what I actually own.
I’m not sure yet…my favorites are larger.
For some reason I’ve been a bit in love with Burberry lately. They’re typically clean, sharp, and not crazy. Though I think I like their fall/winter stuff a bit better than the spring/summer. SS11 seems a bit heavy on the leopard print but could be that I’m attracted to their solids when perusing shopping sites (not like I can afford a $3,000 coat yet.) Kinda in love with the Burberry shearling aviator coat.

Some basic business attire from yesterday. The red flats I recently bought, a pair of dark dark grey pants with a tiny light green pinstripe that are at least 3 years old, and a white acrylic sweater I don’t remember buying but it feels so much like cashmere I checked the tag before I tossed it in the wash. Earrings, gift from mom from Greece trip, and the necklace is a couple dollars worth of flea market finds someone brought to a beading party (thanks Betsy!)
A bit of non-clothing info: I am LOVING the beadboard WALLPAPER I put up in the dining room that you can see here. $25 a roll and I almost did it in one roll (would have been able to if I hadn’t messed up a few pieces.) So $50 and the room looks SO much better. Inspiration from Southern Hospitality’s blog here:

Check it out and the links to the beadboard wallpaper projects other people did as well.
Next house project is removing the textured ceiling and giving everything in there a good coat of paint. I plan on doing a light ale yellow above the chair rail.
The tree in the photo was the display tree that was over half off and came with the lights on it. I love the urn base.
I have a small live arbor vite(sp) in the living room where the palm tree was this summer that is decorated and will get planted after the holiday season. This artificial one will go in that spot next year. The palm tree started to struggle … it’s sitting under the plant light in the bedroom now with the dwarf lemon, dwarf orange and dwarf blueberry plants. I hope to have fruit in a couple of years!
Now, off to prep the computer for a hard drive and OS upgrade (I’m a geek…)
I am loving the color mustard lately but haven’t found anything in that color that fits me yet. Meanwhile, the budget fashionista or Budgetnista for short has this wonderful outfit posted. She’s really pulled off a look I wouldn’t have expected to work but I think it does. Seriously, mustard and teal/aqua, short pants and booties. Who’d a thunk?
Actually I’m not even sure this outfit would look good on anyone else but I like it on her. Go check out her blog for the full details on where she bought each piece (even if you’re only in love with part of it.) 🙂

Anyone ever hear of this company? Their website is offline but I bought this cute shirt at TJMaxx this afternoon for $7 and there was another one I liked but it was too small. The patterns are both out of the norm but they look good.
