dawn's sunshine

Today is inspiration monday!
When the ladies Megan and Nora from Two Birds Boutique
choose an outfit to inspire a look.

Here's my version of the look.
To see how others styled it
go to:
inspiration monday: the royal treatment.


Today's Inspiration is:
Hilary Duff.
I totally used to watch 
the show Lizzie McGuire.
I thought Hilary  had great style, even back then.



My best friend, since 8th grade, gave me my purse for Christmas.


My purple blouse was thrifted.

My purple boots were thrifted.


You might be wondering what my outfit has to do with the inspiration? I didn't wear black and white, nor a polka dot sweater. I think the basic style concept is similar: long sleeve patterned top, slim cut pants, and ankle boots. That's my justification.

President's Day
Spending time with my love is one of my favorite things. Today we cleaned a little bit.
Yesterday we played the game Last Word
I won twice. He said I always win that game.
I hope that isn't true.




My blog friend Dawn from Suitcase Vignettes nominated me for the sunshine award clear back in January. Here are her questions and my answers. They've been sitting in my drafts.
Yes, I'm slow.
 
1. What is the funniest movie you have ever seen?  
I don't know what the funniest movie I've ever seen is, but a movie I laughed all the way through was How to Be
I've never completely watched any of the
 Twilight movies cause, it's not my scene.
 
I wasn't expecting much How to Be,  but I actually really enjoyed this movie. 

2.  Do you wanna bring sexy back?
I don't know what you mean by this?
I don't think sexy ever left. Did it?
 

3. While using a public restroom, do you hover or roll the dice and sit down?

Sometimes I hover. Sometimes I'm too lazy, and roll the dice.Yes, laziness is a theme with me.
 

4. Who was your hottest teacher? 
 
Do you mean junior high teacher? High school teacher? College teacher? or Guitar teacher? you decide.    

 5. Have you ever been on T.V. ? 

Yes. I want to say more than once, but maybe I'm not remembering properly. I know for sure, at least one commercial.

 
6.  Have you ever found anything in your parent's bedroom that was questionable?  

Um which parent? and yes, although that could be debatable. I definitely found something outside, at one parent's house, and in the kitchen, at another's. When they were together, no I never found anything questionable, but I was little then.


7. When was the last time you played air guitar? 

I don't know, but the last time I played the real guitar was today.


 
8. When did you last laugh until you cried and what was so funny? 

I think it was a story my cousin told me. I'm sure we were making fun of someone or something.


9.  What would be the hardest thing for you to give up?  

Carbohydrates. I couldn't live without them. The end.


10. What was your most embarrassing moment?

I've said this before hereAny accidental flashing. Let's just leave it at that. Shall we? ;)

i don't know

"Been hollowed by uncertainty
I've taken all of my beliefs
And given 'em up 


Cause there's no guarantee...
Admit you don't know anything
And give it up

My brown lace blouse was thrifted,
shown before
here.

My boots were thrifted.

Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,

Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know...

My skirt was thrifted.

Give it up, give it up, give it up
Well I don't know what to believe anymore

My mom made my earrings.

But every now and then I feel a moment of awakening
But then it's gone, then it's gone, then it's gone...

My leopard print  tank was thrifted.


There's a strength in duality
Penetrate mentality
Give it up, give it up...

 this giveaway,

Thrifted purse also shown before

When she wanted to give herself a treat,
she went to the thrift store where she might find some shoes or skirts, purses, or blouses.

It's ok she said, I don't know either.
I'm not really sure about much.


To see photos of when we saw Dredg in
2009 concert, look here.

Singing, I don't know if I've been reborn,

Lived a past life, suffered in another time,
I don't know

If I'll go somewhere special when I die
If I'll go somewhere special when I die

So I'll just go on living my way"-

these things i like

Making images with stars and clouds,
writing a new poem, 

 
Me under the shade of a tree.

sunshine, finding the perfect purse,


 My husband went shopping at the thrift store,
 and he brought home this purse, for me.

  I won my bracelet in this giveaway from Shayla Shines Designs at Dawn's blog: Suitcase Vignettes.


nailing a song on my guitar, 



My shoes are thrifted.

guessing the correct band when I hear 
a brand new song I haven't heard before,




lipstick that stays on, good hand cream,
a soft pillow under my head,

My necklace, pants, and belt are thrifted. 

unchipped nail polish on my fingers and toes,
 (that matches my outfit),

She took all the scraps
and tried to make something whole.


Art journal page where I list things I like
from 8/21/12.
  

writing in my journal,
  
watching 
Veronica Mars and SUPERNANNY,
melted butterscotch chips and Rice Chex Cereal, 
vanilla, cinnamon, and oranges scenting the air.
