music and han solo

My outfit was influenced by yesterday's 

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

I look frozen, and I don't mean cold. 
I mean like Han Solo on the planet Mercury.

Here's my version of the look.

inspiration monday: secondhand outfit notes.

Yesterday's inspiration was:

Olivia Wilde 
(she looks like she want to kick someone's behind).

My t-shirt: Forever 21 (nearly 3 yrs. ago)
It says:
 I Love My Music.

My fringe booties: LuLu's.com (over a year ago).

My jeans: ? (some store in mall nearly 3 yrs. ago)
The last album I listened to was
 New Morning by Alpha Rev (a band from Austin, Texas).

My nephew Speed Racer likes to sing
Down By the Station.
He LOVES trains!

We don't know what songs my nephew JJ likes.
They tell us he says words,
 but he won't say a thing, for me and my guy.  :p

My twin nieces Lil Bug and EJ like to sing: 
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

The last song my guy worked out to was Wave of Tomorrow by The Crash Kings.
I don't have a photo of him doing that, but last weekend he was building us a new fence for our backyard. 
We saw The Crash Kings in concert on this post in 2009.

My art journal page was from sometime,
 this past Spring.
 I titled it:
The Woes of Chronic Bad Hair...

The last song I played on my guitar was
Let Go by Cheap Trick.

Frozen Han Solo NBC News article.
 (that was only 4 days ago).

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.

 in our living room, June 2013.

My nephews, my nieces, my mom, and me

in the parking lot

I know it's not exactly the best place to take photos, but we were on our way to see live music.

My tie dyed skirt is thrifted.

Today is still Monday for 12 more minutes.
Therefore, I'm linking up to Two Birds Boutique.

This is the inspiration outfit they chose.

It's actress Michelle Tractenberg.
I've mentioned I like her character Georgina from  the TV show Gossip Girl before, in this old post.

To see how others were inspired by this outfit,
 look at Inspiration Monday.

My blouse is thrifted.

I won this shoe from  LuLu's

 in this giveaway, at Maria's blog
Little Tree Vintage.

My guy's shadow in this photo,
 is my favorite.

I won this necklace from  Vivi Dot   

 in this giveaway at Melissa's blog
Bubby and Bean.

My mom made the wood bracelet,
and the purple bracelet.

This local band Luke Wade and No Civilians
is who we saw last night.

I drew and painted this
 from one girl image,
 that I saw on a book cover.

It says: Interesting how the same image can change in how you see it it, interpret it, express all the feelings, colors, all on the same day. It's almost like she's aging right in front of us.

It says: I should be making a difference.
That's what my 9th grade self wanted.
It's what my college self intended.
It's still something to strive for.

It says: In May, on the couch, I sketched  my nephew JJ, while he slept.
I sketched his twin sister,
while she sat on the floor playing.
She and her sister move around often
It's difficult to catch them being still.
