It's finally Friday and I submitted two papers this week! I'm looking forward to this weekend to play. These fun Sweet Pea top, playful shoes and white bead necklace made by me helped me to get through the day. Since San Diego tends to be coolers in the morning and evening, I added the white sparkly scarf that was hand made and gifted to me by my aunt.
Sweet Pea is a brand I use a lot in summer. Although expensive in retail stores, I always find them for reasonable prices in discount stores like Marshalls and Loehmans. I recommend their ease of wash, lightweight no-iron fabric, fun patterns and colors and more importantly easy fit. If you're looking for comfortable summer tops, these are one of them.
Do you have a favorite summer brand?
One of the things I love about summer fashion is polka dots. I find find polka dots happy and fresh with a European flavor. So they don't have to be in fashion for me to have a few polka dots in my closets. So, I'm enjoying seeing polka dots everywhere this season. Stripes and polka dots... both are making my Spring so far!
These polka dot wedges are a couple of years old and I have the scarf for at least 15 years. I liked adding them to an otherwise neutral outfit and they completely changed the way it looked.
How about you? Do you have a favorite pattern?

Coral is one of this years favorite colors and it is one of my favorite colors. I especially like it with buttery cream and pearl.
This two-toned coral silk scarf seemed like an easy addition to the black and cream outfit that morning especially since the black shirt had coral stripes. Little did I know! In the rush of the morning, I ended up knotting it the simplest way using the square knot. The outfit didn't feel right: a bit boring, rigid and non-creative. I wasn't sure why I wasn't feeling it until I thought about tying the scarf as a neck wrap under the shirt showing only the darker shade of coral and hiding the edges. I was suddenly myself again. These suddle differences can completely change the way I feel about how I'm dressed up.
Which one do you prefer the most: the square knot or the neck wrap?
