What to Wear at Round Top

There are three things I consider when putting together my outfit

for my trek up to Round Top.  I want to look cute, keep the sun off

my face and be comfortable.  

While we don't get the cool crisp days of early Fall here in Texas,

it is in fact Fall, and I want to look the part.  Enter a plaid scarf.  This

one is made from a light weight and crinkly fabric that will satisfy my

need for a hint of Autumn.  I bought this scarf years ago and I do

believe that it is my favorite accessory.   I am adding a chunky gold

necklace that will dress up my white cotton polo just a bit without

being over the top.

I am also wearing my Barton Creek bucket hat made with SPF 50 fibers.

I like to keep the sun off my face with a hat despite the layers of sunscreen

I now wear.  Fun shades are important too :-)

I am bringing my big plaid tote along as well.  Like my scarf, it's an oldie

but a goodie.  It's roomy and I can fill it with a water bottle and all other

essentials, and still have room for small packages.

If you have ever been to Round Top, you are very familiar with it's size

and scope.  I never wear cute flats or sandals.  This is a day full of 

walking and walking and walking.  

I think this is my seventh trip to Round Top.  I never tire of visiting.

It's so delightful to be out in the country, driving past pastures filled

with long horns and other cattle breeds.  The crowds don't bother me

because they are filled with principally women on a mission to find

just the perfect something for their own homes or for gifts.  They 

are women just like me who are enthralled by the variety of 

antique treasures.  Women who feel like they are wondering through

the pages of a decorating magazine as they enjoy the beautifully

styled stalls in the tents at Marburger Farm.

I promise to take lots of photos to share with you and hope that

one day you too have the chance to visit this fabulous show.

Big Texas Hugs,
