an element of gray

"Day after day, I'm more confused
Alice + Olvia Fall RTW 2011
Aigner Fall RTW 2011

Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain        

You know that's a gam
e
that I hate to lose

Aigner Fall RTW 2011
 
Alvireo Martini Fall RTW 2011

And I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame 

Alvireo Martini Fall RTW 2011

Oh, give me the beat boys
and free my soul

Alvireo Martini Fall RTW 2011
I wanna get lost
in your rock n roll
And drift away... 

Alvireo Martini Fall RTW 2011
Beginnin' to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
My guy not looking at the camera.
 
Now I'm countin' on you
To carry me through...
My guy in a collage of gray.

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
My twin nieces wearing gray dresses.
And when I'm feelin' blue
 
The guitar's comin' through
To soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
My nephew wearing gray.

I want you to know I believe in your song


And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
 

Looks like my nephew spilled his drink,
 all over his shirt.
I do that all the time too.

You help me along
Makin' me strong...

Little me on my 1 yr old birthday.
I'm with my mom, &
 the teddy bear cake she made me.
It wasn't originally black & white,
 but I altered it to fit the theme of this post.

Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away"...-
Dobie Gray Drift Away Lyrics

  11. I used to find gray rather gloomy, but I actually just bought two gray tops and I adore them. One has a bear on it, and the other has sheep. Not so gloomy, eh? I adore that Aigner dress with the black bow. It's PRECIOUS.

  15. Great song and great post! Loving all the looks - gray is perfect for winter. I love the knee length flare skirt especially.

    About my post title, you're not missing anything! lol. I literally just pick my favorite verse from the song I'm listening to at the time of making my post. It usually has some kind of personal significance at the time but rarely has anything to do with the actual post at all.

  18. awesome song!
    the first 2 photos are amazing.. greaty choice of outftis!
    ..about my "short hair" illustration.. my hair used to be super short, I chopped it and had like that for over a year, now I'm letting it grow but it still is short... all my guy-friends hated it, that's why I thought it to be a man repeller... except my ex, he loved it.. so now I want it long, the way he wouldn't want it to be haha..

  23. Heya! Actually the whole dress is attached- the bottom part and the lace part came together. It would be really handy to find "slip" dresses to put under things that are really sheer.. I'm not sure where to find one that would work. Maybe H&M or Forever 21?? Sheer clothes are a tricky thing- I know what you mean!

  24. Your nieces and nephew are sooooo cute!
    The outfits you chose are so gorgeus, I can't decide myself for one, but I'm certainly inspired! Will try to find some similar things in my closet, soon I'll be in the UK! :)
