Today's outfits are all about daisies and sea life.  Because whether wedded to water or grown in the ground, both natural wonders bring the wow.  The fabrics are rooted in florals; the necklaces hang at the aquarium.  It's a real "Octopus's Garden" situation, only with fish and dolphins instead of octopi.  And landlubber flowers instead of seaweed.  

Still, my favorite item isn't anchored to any of it.  Because it's this pair of kind-of-'60s-kind-of-'90s, black and yellow plaid pants!  

Pants: Almost Famous, Macy's

Although not super low rise (no whale tails here), they were a super low price, just $6.96.  Unfortunately, they're also super long, swallowing my five-foot self even in four-inch heels.  Now, as you know, I'm no seamstress.  So I turned to my packing tape.  Not just for Tote Trove packages anymore, this very sticky adhesive did the trick, holding up my insta-cuffs -- at least until after the picture. 

That said, I'd rather deal with daisies and the deep blue sea than the devil.  Somehow I don't think that  packing tape would stand up to a peg leg.
