Week 121! I heard our area of Indiana only got 1.6 inches of rain in August so I was really excited when it stormed here on Wednesday night. It sounded like there was a lot of rain coming down, but the rain gauge only read 0.1 inch. I think there may have been some evaporation, …
This is going to be an unusual post, my friends! It’s going to be just about the clothes. I wore this outfit one day to the museum for a new kind of training I’m doing. Hmmm…maybe, this isn’t going to be just about the clothes. There are different kinds of tours at the Indianapolis Museum …
Nigel has always had definite opinions about my hair. When we first got married, he liked it long. That was fine because it was the 70s, and everyone wore their hair long. Then, my little sister went to beauty school and needed to practice things like perms. Luckily, it was the 80s, and that frizzled …
Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last year, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on …
I’m trying to find the words to express my heartache over the deaths of children in South Minneapolis this past week. I keep thinking about the immense loss that community suffered.

Week 120! My fingers and hands quickly healed from the attack of the rose bush last week. I may have gone overboard in cutting away the dead stuff because it looks a little lopsided. It just insists on growing taller and taller instead of out. When I dead head that particular bush, I try to …
I’ve been promising you a bit of my graduation tour in order to become a docent at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. Are you wondering about that lengthy name? Here’s just a little bit of information about that. Hugh Landon built the country house in the early years of the 20th century along …
I thought this was such an interesting representation of the Madonna. At first glance, you might assume it was fairly recent given those cherubim who faintly resemble gummy bears. But, the work is actually from somewhere between 1490 and 1500. If you want to read that post with all the info and more information about …

Style Imitating Art… Welcome to Style Imitating Art which comes from Salazar, Shelbee, and me. You can think of this series as fashion meets art museum!

Last month, I was complaining about the heat. Last week started off very warm, but by Friday, the temperatures were wonderful! It actually feels like fall, but Indiana is a sneaky state. We will probably be back in the 90s (32C) soon. I do have to say, it hasn’t been terribly humid. But, it is …
