hello, bright yellow

In Spring, I think of bright colors.

My gold sequined purse was thrifted.

My mom gave me my patterned tights.
My purple suede boots were thrifted.

My shirt says:
I'm alive... but I'm barely breathing now.

I bought my t-shirt at
this Story of the Year concert in 2010.

inspired by scrapbook artist Wilna Furstenberg

I wore stacked bracelets,
tie dyed bright colored top, & pastel blue pants.
I didn't need a jacket.
I made a, songs to learn on guitar, playlist.
I got stuck in traffic, and turned around at exit.
I watched The Face and World of Jenks.
I re-read The Story Sisters by Alice Hoffman.
I ate a zucchini, tomato, mustard, swiss cheese sandwich,
 and homemade cauliflower soup.
I woke up with puffy eyes.

Here's an acoustic video version of 
I'm Alive by Story of The Year

..."I'd do anything, anything just to stop
This way from pressing down
I'd do anything anything now
To spread these wings somehow
I scream these words so loud
But they never make a sound

I'm alive
But I’m barely breathing now"... I'm Alive by Story of The Year

Today my outfit is based on Style Imitating Art.
That's when Salazar from 14 Shades of Grey chooses a work of art to inspire an outfit.

Here's my version of the look. 
To see how others were inspired
go to: Style Imitating Art: Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog

Today's art inspiration is:

Wanderer Above the Mist by artist
 Caspar David Friedrich.

I wore white like the clouds and the mist of the painting. 
Which could also appear to be white snow, or ocean waves.
The shades of blue are the sky, mountains, and his coat.

My shawl was thrifted.

Now for some all white ensembles.

Wearing all white is my nephew Speed Racer,

in his Luke Skywalker  Halloween costume with my brother.

Wearing white socks are my twin nieces and nephew.

 I learned my 2 year old nieces are teaching their 10 month old brother, Baby JJ, how to jump on their bed.  ;)

Dear Sunshine,
I miss you when you are gone.
I get happy when you come back.

Love, Teddi :)

The Gaslight Anthem speaks to my soul. I adore them so.


..."The radio spoke to a good friend of mine.
And I could feel it coming up as the nights getting warm.
Saw your summer dress hanging on the back of the lawn.
Like a dream I remember from an easier time.
With the top rolled down on a Saturday night"...
Old White Lincoln by The Gaslight Anthem

Details of the orange guitar pick necklace my cousin made.
 I'm wearing a different top in this photo, but it shows the necklace better than the dress photos.

My friend's mom painted the pink flower bracelet.
My cousin made my orange bracelets.

inspired by this technique by Wilna Furstenberg.

I used to not like the color orange.
Now I rather like it. 
When I was little my favorite fruit was California oranges, and I adored fresh squeezed orange juice. Orange was my favorite soda. I liked orange sherbet and orange creamsicles.

Here's a photo of little me eating ice cream.
Now you can say you've seen me with my shirt off.
