rising from the neon gloom



"Fly into the rising sun,

Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart"
I won this ribbon necklace from Marie,
 at 
The Joy of Fashion  
It was her 2 year blogiversary giveaway.


This photo is Marie, from The Joy of Fashion. 
This is how she wore the necklace.
If you like her style, check out her blog

Details of my leopard print tights.
Details of my snaps on jacket sleeves.




"Talk about her like a 
Queen

Dancing in a Eastern Dream


Yeah, she makes me feel like a river


That carries me away"
 



With the jacket.

"But I'm at home and I just don't belong 


So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove

Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in Her City of light"

Without the jacket.

"Rising from the neon gloom

Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire    I get high"
My dress was thrifted.
My purple suede boots were thrifted.
My corduroy purse was thrifted. 







My blouse was thrifted.

This was the only time I got to wear the blouse because the 2nd time I washed it, I accidentally shrank it in the dryer. So then it didn't fit me, so I had to donate it. I'm sad too because it was all tie dye with peace signs.



I so want to play guitar like these guys.

"My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me"

  13. Nice colors, and Deep Purple's pretty good. I wish I could play any kind of musical instrument. I can barely play a triangle.
