Maria Shell PED Day #42COMMENTS
This is the first travel experience. I had to resort to some selfies which I am not that get at. The fun thing was that California meant I got to wear warm weather clothing which is always fun for a Northerner. I love California.

COMMENTS
It is great to get some new clothes into the rotation. This week, I actually felt like my clothing made sense. I even repeated several pieces, but they look different paired with other garments. Things are coming together. I am kind of amazed at how different I can look day to day.  If you want to follow the action day by day you can Instagram @talesofastitcher.
