a day late


Yesterday was
 Inspiration Monday.

When the ladies of Two Birds Boutique choose an outfit

 to inspire a personal look.

Here's my version.

The inspiration outfit was:
Rachel Bilson
To see what others wore, look here.


This past weekend, it finally felt like fall, in Texas.
We brought out the layers, and turned on the heater.



...Journeys don't really end.
Even when you reach a destination,



the lessons learned are like organisms,
stretching and evolving into ways you could never anticipate...

...Sometimes I felt like I was missing an outershield,
a thick layer of skin to protect me from the piercing outside air.


I was the sensitive pink underbelly.
Life was too intense for me...

It says: It spiraled past her comprehension.

It says: Such dizzy making was beyond her control.



...No doubt we will have ups and downs over the years. We may never reconcile our memories of the past.
We will certainly struggle in the present. And the future is still a mystery. I can live with that. What I know for certain is that I tried my hardest, I'm a very courageous survivor, and I'm still out there trying...

  1. You look wonderful in lavender; I wish it looked half as good on me as it does on you. And I adore your boots!

  2. It looks like Texas was colder than Ottawa, Canada this past weekend, I can't believe it! Love the biker babe jacket and your hair looks so pretty tied up like that.

  8. This is a really lovely colour combination, with the navy, camel and then the softer pinkish/purple hue. It must be chilly down south if you're wearing gloves!

    How many art journals have you made to date? Do you keep them all as mementos of your past?

  19. Have you considered putting some shoulder pads into the jacket to give it a little more structure?

    It's such a pretty jacket, but I don't like the way it hangs off your shoulders.

  20. Heh, I'm working my way through your archives, but i had to stop at this look, I love it so much! Those booties of yours are fantastic, the little bit of fringe is so fun and the brown goes so nicely with your purple pants. One of my very favorites of your outfits!
    (All of your family pictures are so sweet, you have the cutest nieces and nephews!)
