My outfit was based on
this Style Imitating Art challenge from September 2012
hosted by Vivienne of Thrifted Shift.
"Well, I've been going through the motions
Wonder if anyone can see
That I been looking for something
Have you been looking for me
I ain't the same no more
In fact I have changed from before
No, you ain't gonna find me
Oh no, cause I'm not who I used to be
Well, I used to be a little girl
Just a smiling, feeling free
I wasn't worried bout nobody
Nobody worried bout me
No, you ain't gonna find me
Cause I ain't who I used to be
I said I'd never grow old
I can't remember how that used to be
I've been loving, this band, Alabama Shakes since December 2012. Today I just discovered the singer is female. The line, "I used to be a little girl", should have been a clue. Duh me, for not watching a video of the band sooner.

That I been looking for something
Have you been looking for me
My mom made my necklace, and my shoes were thrifted. I got my earrings from Etsy in Dallas 2010. |
I ain't the same no more
In fact I have changed from before
My guy and I bleached this dress last summer. We originally bought it years ago for $5.00 at Walmart. |
No, you ain't gonna find me
Oh no, cause I'm not who I used to be
Leather braided bracelet from Etsy in Dallas 2010. Other bracelets I can't remember. Layered flower bracelet I won in a giveaway, years ago too. |

I find myself without the power
I find myself without the glory
Listen! I ain't the same no more
You'll find I have changed from before
You ain't gonna find me
...Oh, no, no, I ain't who I used to be
Oh, no"...I Ain't the Same by Alabama Shakes
I love what you did to that dress

I wish I could take good wildlife photos like the hawk. always comes out blurry
ReplyDeleteOh I'm really digging the different coloured nails!! Love your dress too, you did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteAh, finally I got a post that was updated on the commentluv on the blog! I am so happy for it, so I can see you and your amazing posts, always! The lyrics remind me of a band called Supreme Beings of Leisure, with "I'm not the same girl you used to know". It speaks a lot to me... and I loved this band and lyrics that you posted now!
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely, 2012 or 2013 it doesn't matter, you are always gorgeous! And will always be! You and your husband bleaced the dress? Congratulations, because it's really cool!
Your art journal reminded me of Picasso! Wow!
i love your spring nature photos. and also, that braided bracelet is great!
ReplyDeleteoh I remember that challenge from Vivienne's blog :) and how cool is your self-bleached dress! and those bracelets and your nails and your shoes too. everything looks great. and your art journal pages are so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteMaiken,

I love the colours in this art journal page of yours! That bleached dress is such a great idea and show off your fab legs perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI love Alabama Shakes! Hold On is my song at the moment, 'cause it includes both the name Brittney and the age 22 in the lyrics. ;)
ReplyDeleteBack to you, though ... I know these photos are from a year ago, but I'm totally diggin' them! I never would've guessed you bleached the dress yourself. It looks totally professional. :) And it's so spot on for the inspiration!
wow! such a great inspiration! Totally loved your outfit!

That was such a great idea to bleach this dress, the browns mixed with the white is so striking, I did think of rock pattern right away. (I love these art inspiration posts, you're really clever at getting the idea across.)
ReplyDeleteI would say that you nailed the look to the art inspiration. I also love your journaling..you are always so creative.

Hah, the cave really has inspired your outfit :) same colors and shapes, real cool! and I love the necklace ♥ Conny

Teddi, I think that your makeup complements your outfit very nicely. That's an impressive DIY. The idea of bleaching clothes beyond removing stains is a little scary to me!
