Back from our trip to San Francisco, we caught lots of fashion on the street! Here are just a few of what I saw. More in store!

This photo is taken while waiting in line to eat at the delicious Dottie’s restaurant!  This couple met 40 years ago and live in Thailand.  He’s a retired surgeon and she is a fashionable woman who loves the culture of San Francisco!

After lunch, we headed on over to Westheimer Rd. where I found streets and streets of boutiques. Many of were used, vintage, and consignment, but there was a boutique … Read more!
