Challenge Photo for Day 3: Stone Canyon Petrified Sand Dunes and Reflection, Paria Canyon - Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, Arizona by Jack Dykinga
I had the worst luck trying to plan an outfit for this challenge. At first, I thought I'd wear a cute Ann Taylor blouse (not pictured) I had thrifted awhile back, but which needed repairs to the sleeve hems.
No problem, I said to myself, and then set to work. Unfortunately, as I was stitching away at the sleeves, I kept seeing spots. I guess it's a good thing that there wasn't something wrong with my eyesight, but I sure was disappointed to notice streaky stains all over the back of the blouse. How had I not noticed them before?
Attempt number two involved rummaging through my closet and digging out a striped dress my mother had given me a few years back. While the colors were perfect and the stripes reflected the striations in the rocks pictured in the photo, the dress was HUGE. It swallowed me up entirely.
Finally, I settled on a pleated front cardi I had sewn a couple of years ago. I paired it with my black skinnies, a purple turtleneck and ballet flats and a colorful beaded necklace.
While I like the outfit, it's a bit on the casual side for my office, but I threw caution to the wind...
