My outfit was influenced by inspiration monday!

Here's my version of the look.

We colored my hair before 10 am physical therapy.
I got my bangs and haircut in late afternoon.

My outfit was based on This Style Imitating Art challenge 
hosted by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey.

My shoes and blouse were thrifted.

Today's art inspiration is:

Feeding the Ducks by Mary Cassatt

 I tried to incorporate the blue of the boat in my pants. For the dark fabric with white polka dots of her skirt I used my blouse and shoes. My shoes also involve the pink, white and black of the other dress.
For the blues and greens of the sky, water, the little girl's dress, and the turtle, I used my bracelets, necklace, and toenail polish color.

My mom gave me my necklace,
and made one of my bracelets.
My friend bought me the other bracelet.

My found book poetry or book spine poetry
inspired by this post by Katie McEnaney.

Feeding the Ducks

The last time I remember feeding the ducks was back in 2002. When I was a youth advocate.
I remember when 10 or 11 year old me would get excited when we visited my uncle's because his apartment complex had ducks.

When was the last time you remember 
feeding the ducks?
