August is a great time for stripes! And tights... and parkas. Red skirt by Miss Make, picked up last weekend at Renegade/ Sew L.A. Thanks ladies, she LOVES it, and with room to grow.

Space-age meets flowers, hand-me-down meets new, casual meets fancy, pjs meet daywear. It worked, and out the door she went.

Striped scarf. Striped socks. Old striped leggings, new patches, to cover the holes. Hand-me-down Hallowe'en tee. Magenta marker fingers.

pattern combo of the morning : welcome sweater weather

Temps dropped so out came the layers! Anna put on every garment I have been telling her all summer it's too hot to wear. On top: sweater, a fave from Argentina (almost too small now), dress: Hannah Anderson from thrift store ($7 score!), polka dot leggings and required striped socks.
