i don't own a leopard coat,

so for my Inspiration Monday look,

I didn't wear one.

Plus it's been too hot in Texas, to wear a jacket.


Here's my version.



Nora and Megan of 
Two Birds Boutique chose this leopard 

coat outfit by supermodel  Kate Moss.
I realize I look nothing like her.

To see how others used the inspiration go to

inspiration monday: secret shopper.


I don't have a yellow purse.
I opted for the green purse to tie into the green words on my t-shirt.
I held my purse in my hands like Kate's.
I also wore dark nail polish.


I didn't want to shoe the exact same black boots
I wore in last week's post.
Therefore, I chose, my tweed boots on the left.
They are still pointy toed, ankle height, and feature black like Kate's on right.


I don't have black skinny jeans,
(like Kate wore),
so I wore my black thrifted wide leg cords.

My purse was thrifted.



I want to explain about this guitar pick necklace.
Years ago, one of the kids found the guitar pick on the playground at recess, and gave it to me.
We made sure it didn't belong to anyone before I wore it.



Which leads me to the answer to question 1 from, 
Maikeni blogi-part of me when she nominated me for this sunshine award.
My nephew Speed Racer

I. Are you pleased with your current job and/or studies? If not, what would you change?

I question nearly everything. So it's normal for me to wonder about what I went to college for, and what I got my degree in. My bachelor of science is in Early Childhood. 
I've gone through periods where I really loved, and disliked elements of my chosen career path.

I am grateful for the things I learned in school. 

I really have used them in my work, and in my life.

 
For example, with my friends' children, and in my own family,
with my nieces and nephews.


My friend's son Little T

Over 8 years ago I started taking guitar lessons.
 I still continue those. 


 About 4 or 5 years ago I started actively taking art classes, but in a non traditional way. 

I also still actively take art classes.


These sketches were done while waiting for a band to set up at a live show, last summer.



What I would change, if I could back in time, is,  I wish I would have started taking guitar, and art classes when I was younger.

In the Sun Class by Natalie Malik.
If only...I had taken more photos, 
and I had wrote down more stories.
If only I could remember better.
If only I had treasured those moments,
before they slipped away.
If only I  had known. 
If only...
would it have mattered?
Would it have changed?
What would have changed?
If only I had known.

A white shirt

for Inspiration Monday

 When the ladies of Two Birds Boutique choose an

 outfit
 to inspire a personal look.

This is my version.

To see how others wore the L.C. look go to
 Inspiration Monday: Ladies Night.




Today's inspiration is:
Lauren Conrad
 She was my favorite character on 
Laguna Beach and The Hills.



Today I picked up:

The Fame Game by Lauren Conrad
at the library.

I've read all of her other books
 in the 
L.A. Candy book series.




Instead of wearing a scarf around my neck,
I'm wearing a scarf/bandanna in my hair.
 
I got it from the Warped Tour concert July 2008.


My pants were a birthday present from
my sister n-law, brother, and nephew.

The boots once belonged to my mom.

My mom also made my copper bracelets.



The shirt has a personal meaning to me because the image could be a guy or a girl holding a guitar.


There are lyrics written on sheet music inside the image.


Some of the words are:

 ...When, I write,
try to listen, But
motions deeper. 1 min
belies of flavor...

In the Sun Class by Natalie Malik.


If I spent all day in bed...

pillows, blankets, paper, pens, phone,
my laptop computer, games..
.
I might want to play board or card games.
I like Rummy ScrabbleScattergories,
AdvertisingLast Word, and Yahtzee.

She had a weakness for boots.
She didn't need anymore. 
She owned 17 pairs,
 
(Since this art page was written in July,
I own more than that now).  ;)


She knew if she found another pair that fit well,
and were a good price, she would buy them.
She liked all kinds of colors and styles, ankle, calf, knee, over the knee lengths, heels, and flats.
They made her feet happy.
