fabric used: Sheer Cabana Melon
It all started while we were driving somewhere between Batangas & Mindoro last week, I came upon this oil refinery plant (or something like that) and couldn't help but notice the happy colors painted around it.
sorry for blurry pics (we were speeding by & road was curving, couldn't stop)
this might be a better picture:
And I realized, I like it because the colors slapped on the tanks are the colors of
SUMMER 2012!!!
I don't know what the purpose of those stripes are, whether to measure or gauge oil or whatever...but it's soooooo summer-y, so NOW! I subscribe to J.Crew catalogues & newsletter even if they don't ship to the Philippines just because I love looking at their clothes. This is their "SALE" notice last week, March 21:
So fresh! And like a dam, my mind started flowing with images
that had patterns & colors similar to that oil refinery tank:
teal, cream, white
stripes, chevron, and checkerboard patterns...
*I'm sorry I can't remember where I got this image of the balloon & girl. But it was in my I Love list and I wish I jotted down the website for it.

Mix & match stripes at home if you dare.
The oil refinery tanks did it, and so could you! Ha Ha.
I don't think my eyes could look at so many colors the whole day.
It would be the end of me.
For now, I'll stick to 2-color stripes.

So I bid you all a good night!
