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.

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.

COMMENTS
Well, the grey leggings/tights did not last. They did not have enough four stretch, and I blew them out pretty quickly. This is disappointing as I “wasted” the fabric. I am hoping to transform them into something else. This week is the first one where I have had new garments to wear, and that always feels nice. As you can tell, my palette is still very grey.
