Mission By The Sea

Location: Ventura, CA

The traditional Mission quadrangle blueprint remained standing as late as 1875. Today the slight four acre parcel is home to buildings from the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Shrine of the Crucifixion on the left side of the church contains a four hundred-year old bulto and purportedly origniates from the Philippine Islands.

There is a well-landscaped garden with a fountain, stone grotto, and educational displays. https://www.sanbuenaventuramission.org

Today I paired this classy looking V neck striped top with whimsy floral maxi skirt. It turned out to be a bit sassy gothic. I would be walking a lot around this cute seaside town, so I wore my red sneakers and back pack incase I saw something nice to purchase. I try to keep my clothing collection simple and drawers not too over flowing. It challenges me to think and have fun finding different styles without getting crazy about buying more clothes.
