Peanut Butter & Jelly and Other Unlikely Combinations

Ever notice how some of the most unlikely combinations are the best? PBJ's, salt and vinegar potato chips, pineapple salsa, unicorns and glitter (nod to Flo on the Progressive insurance commercial). So, when I found these very different pieces on our recent vacation, I was intrigued. Could they mix together successfully in some sort of sweater concoction? The lovely warm fall-toned sweater has a gossamer feeling and wraps just under the bust. The black and cream pima lightweight cotton skirt had an amazing black border at the bottom-sleeve cuffs? Can't wait to get out the scissors and see what I can dream up. Isn't that how the most intriguing combinations are discovered?



Another example of unlikely pairs is exemplified by this great window I saw while in Laguna Beach, CA.  What a fabulous concept! A tree swing inside a store window---alluding to the eclectic mix of things inside.  The art and clothing inside were green, well designed and interesting.  Quintessential cutting edge California.  Delightful!
