art & outfits

I'm going to show you some outfits,
 & then compare them to some art from the Dallas Art Museum. I had friends request photos about the art I saw, from my last post.

The art photos were taken by me, from their permanent collection. I didn't get the names of the artists. All the runway photos are sourced within the photographs. I'm leaving on a trip Wednesday, so if I don't visit your blogs, or post as often, that's why.

made with love

This is me, in my outfit, in front of the Dallas Museum of Art.


Yeah, I know you can read the sign. 

My cousin made me these earrings.
I'm wearing them in my outfit photos. 

 She based the designs on this older post of mine.
  My cousin's jewelry is far cooler.

Charm bracelet made by my cousin.  :)

Look at the charm that says
"Made with Love."

 With every photo, I'm trying to show,
how all the guitar picks are holographic. 

Peace sign, flowers, mushroom, circles.

One mushroom, purple flower power thing on top right.

More mushrooms, peace sign, small flowers.

Disappearing mushrooms, bigger flowers.

Even the orange beads are hearts.
There is the peace sign charm on top,
& the word love, on a charm, hanging below.

She also made this pretty ice blue necklace.
I'm fully aware of my hideous chipped polish,
in these photos.

My skirt is thrifted.

This is one of the words on my shirt.
The other words going up from the roots
through the tree trunk say:
Nature, Peace, Love,
Happiness, Life 

My friend Kimmie took these pics for me.

Give It to Me Baby by Rick James.  

Funny video. Fun song. 
One day my cousin & I played this song over & over on our way back from Ikea. Yes, it's the same cousin who made my guitar pick jewelry, in this post.
The same cousin I think of as my sister.

Sisterhood Everlasting  by Ann Brashares

...It made her feel a little homesick because of the blossoms, the cherries and dogwoods and magnolias and these pink ones, whatever they were called. These were the flowers that burst out all over her old neighborhood growing up, that would drop into her hair like spring snow....

the girl in the movie

This is a really old photo of me,
in my old back yard.

I miss this pink blouse.

I think I was trying to imitate  Molly Ringwald .

Andie, from Pretty In Pink,
is one of my fave movie characters. 

  I've lost count of how many times,
I've watched this movie.

Andie: I just want them to know
 that they didn't break me.

 
Andie:Well, I loved her, too, you know. 
She just didn't love us back.

 Iona:Would have been a fairy tale if my date hadn't been the only one there with a...wife and two kids.

 Duckie: You know what an older women does for me? 
Iona: Changes your diapers? 
Duckie: Touché.

Duckie:I'm off like a dirty shirt. 

Andie:You know what the really sad thing is? 
I bet the people that live there 
don't think it's half as pretty as I do.

 Andie: Were you here long? 
Duckie: No, no! Three, four... hours. 

It must be, like, a hormone thing. Every song is making me sick.

 Iona:You could say that life itself, is a stupid tradition.

Duckie: This is a really volcanic ensemble you're wearing, it's really marvelous! 

Duckie: Good Morning! Welcome to another day of higher education! 

Steff: You know, I've been out with a lot of girls at this school. I don't see what makes you so different. 
Andie: Well, I have taste. 

Andie: I don't know what I'm doing! 
Iona: Wishful make-upping! 

Iona: You know every time you go to the john,
you lose IQ points!

This is an actual song from the movie, that was NOT on the soundtrack. I once asked my best friend to search for the CD as a present. She did, but there were only 2 good songs on it. :P

POSITIVELY LOST ME by THE RAVE-UPS

..."You lost a lot when you lost me 
Six paperback books and a dying tree
A looking glass and a diamond ring
You lost me and you lost some dreams...
Two blankets and a bookshelf piece
A picture frame and a couple keys
Stole a couple of dollars that I won't see
You lost a lot when you lost me.

You lost my face, you lost my laugh
and then you lost my confidence

She loves me, she loves me not

Show this piggie the way home" 

all together now

Sometimes it seems like things go together.


Like the colors I'm wearing,
 & the colors of my house.  ;) 

 Sometimes things don't go together. 

Like, what is this wood thing? 

Is this a leash?

 We don't have a dog, but apparently the person who owned our house before us,
must have had one.
I thought my shoes & purse went together.

The Beatles buttons, on my thrifted purse,
were given to me from a dear friend. 

Now compare my blouse print with the colors in my boots, above.

Are you still following my together thread?

Close up pattern of my thrifted blouse.

Check out my my printed blouse above with
these pillows below.

I think these pillow cases my friend sewed me,
match the patterns on my blouse.

This is the back of the pillow cases.

My friend knows me so well.
These pillows can go together with my bed, 

Pillows on my bed

Or my couch.

Pillows on my couch

"One, two, three, four
Can I have a little more?
five, six, seven eight nine ten I love you.

Here's the coin purse she gave me too.

A, B, C, D
Can I bring my friend to tea?
E, F, G, H, I, J, I love you... 

My friend also gave me
this Yellow Submarine key chain.

Sail the ship,
Boom, bam, boom
Chop the tree
Boom, bam, boom
Skip the rope, 
Boom, bam, boom
Look at me

All together now"....All Together Now by The Beatles
