My Green Scarf

In the middle of my house, I live with a rack full of clothing samples that I love showing to my clients. The temptation for me to shop is a daily battle. I keep telling myself I have enough clothes and that this rack is for my clients and that I should look in my own closet before looking at the rack and that I shouldn't spend my earnings and that...and that...and that...it is just too much fun being a cabi girl!

So, I took my own advice and looked in my closet today. I found my Green Scarf and it made me want to play with the rack again! Being the self-disciplined person I am, I stayed in my closet and pulled out the first Spring 2016 item I ordered, the casual army green Explorer Vest, and suddenly my Green Scarf had a playmate! Then the rack called out again, "Come play! Come play!" See how well my Green Scarf and Explorer Vest get along with the next items I am ordering for myself: the Long Sleeve Double-Vee Tee and the Ditsy Skinny Jeans?

 I blame my scarf for my purchase. I should be upset with its influence on me, but I can't help but love it! I don't even remember where I found my Green Scarf. I do recall falling in love with the soft shades and the subtle, natural pattern in the lightweight, gauzy rayon fabric. I still love those features! Likely, this scarf came from TJ Maxx or a clearance rack somewhere because there was a day that I shopped ONLY discounted bargains, and this was certainly purchased during that time. This scarf is one of those true bargains worth keeping, even if it leads me to buy more clothes!

Speaking of soft fabric, the Double-Vee Tee, whether the long sleeve in heather white or the short sleeve in heather navy, has THE most supple Rayon and Spandex blend fabric. It has that "sproing" I so love in a casual shirt because it softly hugs me and swings with my every move. I will own both versions before the season ends; I just know it, and I can't blame my Green Scarf!

I'm excited to own the Explorer Vest! It looks like it's made of stiff military-issue canvas, but it has a lot of stretch to it and it wears very comfortably. The shiny gold snaps and zippers give it such class, too.

Look at the reflection in the snap on the shoulder....that's ME with my camera! :)

Can you figure out why these jeans are called DITSY?

Perhaps it's the tiny pattern that blends into a neutral from a distance but leads your eyes in all directions up close?

Whatever the reason for the name, I think these jeans are just wonderful! There are lots of colors in this pattern: three shades of green, three shades of blue, orange, and pink all blend together to make a neutral pant you can wear with a wide variety of tops and jackets. My Green Scarf loves them too!

My Green Scarf has pulled together an outfit I am going to thoroughly enjoy wearing this spring. I sure am glad I looked in my closet today!
