golden treasures


My outfit was based on 
This Style Imitating Art Challenge
hosted by Jess from Animated Cardigan.



Today's art inspiration is:
Pink Bow by Jeff Koons


I followed the color palette of the art
 using pink, with hints of red, and gold.

I incorporated gold accessories.
I wore the pink ruffled skirt to resemble the loops on the pink bow in the artwork.
My shoes have red bows too.

My pink blouse with red flowers,
and my golden belt were thrifted,


My golden treasures:
My nephew Speed Racer
His train car says, Golden Spike Express.

My twin niece EJ

My nephew JJ

My twin niece Lil bug

It's been so hot, 
I wore shorts and sandals every day this week.
It's 7:57 pm right now,
and it's 87 degrees F
(which equals about 30.6 degrees C).


I am crazy about this song and video:


Bruno Mars - Treasure - Music - More Music Videos


..."Treasure, that is what you are
Honey you're my golden star
I know you can make my wish come true
If you let me treasure you"...Bruno Mars

  2. I love your interpretation of the bow, I'm struggling to think how I would interpret it!! I love the ruffles on your skirt and your gold belt and accessories!

    I'm all rugged up by the fire so I'm very jealous you got to wear shorts all week, even if it was back in May!!

  7. Oh, as you know, red is my favorite color and I loved your shoes with red bows! I also loved your skirt! You always look so beautiful and serene, in fact! I like this! Your art journal is always lovely and it was made on my grandma's birthday :) Your nieces and nephews always cute, I love seeing their smiles! Teddi, always my big thank you for your lovely words towards me! You always put me up and you have such a beautiful heart! It's a pity we can't go to thrifty stores together, I am sure we would have a great time! But I thank internet for having known such a great
    girl like you! By the way, I like Bruno Mars, he's a great
    singer! denisesplanet.com

  19. The hint of gold adds something special to this outfit, and makes sure it's not too cutesy. I'm impressed that you were inspired by a bow!

  20. You nailed the colour scheme. I love how the shirt underneath matches the shoes and how you compared the ruffles of the skirt to the loops of the bow. Very creative, indeed. :) Your art page is beautiful, as well. I like how it's 3D.
