My outfit was influenced by inspiration monday!

That's when the ladies Megan and Nora of Two Birds Boutique
chose an outfit to inspire an outfit.

Here's my version of the look.
To see how others were inspired,

go to:

Olivia Palermo

My brown dress: thrifted

Yesterday-
We colored my hair before 10 am physical therapy.
I got my bangs and haircut in late afternoon.

Duck photos taken by my guy in March 2013.

My guy eating fresh corn and oranges,
 in our living room, June 2013.

A collection of pouty faces

My nephews, my nieces, my mom, and me

am i blue

"There'll be food on the table tonight
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

Kelly Wearstler Spring 2012 RTW

My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken

My life that is lived is no more than a token

Who'll strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why?

Camilla and Marc Spring 2012 RTW

If I yell out at night there's a reply of blue silence

Blue Leopard Print Blouse

The screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence

African Print Skirt by Ifenkili

They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why...

My nephew Baby JJ

So I'm caught at the junction still waiting 
for medicine

My nephew Speed Racer

The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine


Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night

My niece Lil Bug

And if you blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue

If the sugar refining company won't save me

Who's gonna save me?...

My niece EJ

And some have sailed from a distant shore

And the company takes what the company wants

Missing these...

I love blueberries! Since I'm allergic to eggs now, I miss them in blueberry pancakes, blueberry muffins, lemon squares with blueberries, blueberry cheesecake ice cream.
However, I can still eat them with whipped cream.  :)

...Who's gonna save me?

We've got nothing to fear

In the end the rain comes down

Washes clean the streets of a blue sky

mine" -Blue Sky Mine by Midnight Oil

maybe twice

"So I'm back to the velvet underground
Back to the floor that I love

Kelly Wearstler Spring 2012 RTW

To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was,

to the gypsy that I was

Camilla and Marc Spring 2012 RTW

And it all comes down to you, well,

you know that it does

Chloe Spring 2012 RTW

Well, lightning strikes,

maybe once, maybe twice

Ah, and it lights up the night

My nephew Speed Racer

And you see your gypsy,

you see your gypsy

My nephew Baby JJ

To the gypsy that remains

 faces freedom with a little fear 

My twin nieces

I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child and the child was enough

Enough for me to love, enough to love

Me and my friend Em in 2008.
She's the blonde. I am not. 

She is dancing away from me nowShe was just a wish, she was just a wish

Hotel lobby in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

And a memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy, you see your gypsy 

Our water bottles, shovel and bucket

Lightning strikes, maybe once,

 maybe twice

...Lightning strikes, maybe once,

maybe twice

And it all comes down to you...
I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes

And it all comes down to you"...Gypsy by Fleetwood Mac
