Oh the places I find inspiration. When I go to work, I do write down some of the awesome patterns and color combos on my co-workers scrub tops…some of them are used to my routine. Others learn that this is a norm for me. Another place I was just amazed by the color combinations was at Babies R’ Us a couple weeks ago….go check out the bedding/nursery sets and you will see some of the coolest trend-setting combinations out there.
This card, for Beate’s wsc #44, is from one of the scrub tops I saw. It was a flowered patterned top that was half black & white and half colored:
