Kilted hottie

Very proud that this stud is mine. He picked out his own outfit, too! Who doesn't love as guy in a kilt and leather suspenders?! (By the way, many people asked if this is a Utility Kilt. It's not--it's a Trinity Kilt, without cargo pockets but still very sturdy and made of nice twill.)

My "free folk" look

Or is that freak folk? Both, really. The cutie in the kilt got me these hand-carved resin antlers at a previous fair, and the artist was there again this year, though I never found him. (That happens at the Common Ground Fair! It's so big!) You can't really see them, but I'm wearing Maine-made earrings constructed from feather, fur and bone, and my "goddess belt" was made and bought in Oregon from reclaimed leather. When you've got this much going on with accessories, basic black seems wise for the clothes. 

At heart, I'm a hippie

And this is what I wore on Sunday, when I went back for my regular stint at the Info Booth. Used but new floppy wool hat that kept blowing off in the wind, Maine-made beaded Native earrings and my prized vintage 60s real sheepskin vest from Australia via Etsy (people kept saying, "Wow, you look warm!" but in fact I was still chilly!) over a cotton lace top.

Unexpected Layers

It was chilly at the Fair this year, especially first thing in the morning, when I caught this woman on line for the vintage tractor ride on to the grounds. Such an  unusual combination of layers and colors here!

Bright Family

Woah. I can't even decode everything that's happening in this hip  mama's get-up,  from the Kool-Aid hair color to the neon socks over print leggings, and part of why I can't take it all in is because ON TOP OF HER OUTFIT is an even more incredible outfit, on her baby! The dad is a cool counterpoint in his minimalist color palette. 

Hula Loops

This definitely was an on-trend look for 2016 Common Ground Fair style: the knit hat, looped scarf, mini-over-leggings and boots outfit was quite prevalent. I admire the color combinations on this one, as well as her slouchy oversized sweatshirt.

Mute/unmute

Check out how cleverly this person combines muted, neutral tones of tan and brown with the wild patterns of her wide-leg pants and floral mud boots. The people around us when I requested this shot all agreed that this was some pretty amazing style.
