give me some white

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

It says:

Sometimes
Life is messy.
Sometimes
Life is colorful.
Sometimes
Life is imperfect.
Sometimes
so am I,
but only
Sometimes.
