Scallops and Cactus

At one point I had this crazy idea to have people guess my location in various blog posts through a combination of clues, architectural details and rummaging through previous posts of mine. (Sort of like a scavenger hunt.) Do you remember the computer game and TV show Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Well, my version would be Where in the World is Hello Katie Girl? I thought it was a novel idea, but like many of my crazy ideas this one will probably not come to fruition anytime soon. So I am just going to tell you where I am: Pio Pico State Park. If you are so inclined to visit this destination or if you just want a little history lesson you can visit my previous post on the location: Don Katie at the Pio Pico Ranchito. Did I go here just to sight see again? Or take blog photos? No. It happens to be near a restaurant that serves the best cheese bread and baked potatoes with cheese sauce ever. So, yeah, that's why I'm here!

Anyway, like the location, my outfit is also somewhat "recycled." I have worn this scalloped dress from J. Crew before and I've blogged about it too, but I thought I would style it up a little differently. I realized that some of my favorite blogs are ones that keep reinventing new ways to wear things that I might already have in my closet, even when the pieces aren't brand new, just released items. Today I am wearing my scalloped dress with some blue and white check, my fan necklace and just a hint of leopard from my clutch.  Now, it's off to get some cheese bread!
