Yesterday's experience

Yesterday I went on a picnic to the lake.
This is what I saw.
Look left (yes they are my feet)...


...look right

 

...look further right

(a windsurfer precariously balancing,
...and a duck)


...look further left...ahhh green trees!


Last night there was a mega sunset.


...ta da!
(I tried to interpret the colours as closely as possible.)


Ay..may..zing!
Free sky show for any who had the thought to look. 


Much love,
Jazzy Jack

Snakey blindness

Short and sweet today. Not long ago I went Thrift shopping...no surprise there!
This day, I scored 6 belts at $1 apiece :-)
This is the most interesting one, which looks like a snake...with one fang.
The fang bites through the holes. I love the touch of snakeskin like pattern on the edge. I assume its not real :-0


I wore it with my bias cut linen dress in white. Here with denim jacket to break up the whiteness.
There is a line of eyelet embroidery on the hem if you blow it up.



Because this is what my luminescent skin looks like after Winter.
White on white! You won't miss me. Sure see me coming!
I should employ someone to walk in front with a sign
"Caution wear sunglasses"!


Belt "Crochetta", dress, shoes: thrifted, necklace: old retail


This was in my mind for Visible Monday at NotDeadYetStyle but I missed it. Patti I was thinking of you!



'Til next time,
keep creating

the tree
weeps blood
for its severed limb

beauty

BeautyScope 164: Through the glass darkly


what is that?

fearful
foreboding
full of dread

mystery
discovery
enchantment instead

Favourite print


What is my favourite print? If you have been following me at all, you will know I love a print!
Asking this is like asking who is your favourite child!
I have just as much trouble with what is your favourite colour?
The answer...it depends.

So here is an outfit that was gathering moss in my hard drive, which combines many of my favourite things.
Asian inspired print (brocade is almost a print) on the jacket, tribal patterns and embroidery on the top/dress, paisley inspired pattern on the hat, and silk velvet...everyone say aaaahhh...and give it a stroke!


The colours are some of my favourite jewel tones, and I feel very bohemian in it.
Its my relaxed day outfit...almost pyjamas but so much better!
Although someone came to the door when I was wearing it, with profuse apologies for disturbing my rest. So maybe I'm kidding myself that it doesn't look like PJs!
What do you think?

Jacket, top, belt, bag, shoes, hat,rings- thrifted
Pants - old

The shoes have since been donated, because although I adored them, I could only stand wearing them  
for minutes at a time. Basically they were my blogging shoes. Since I bought some others, I had to make room in the wardrobe. Bye bye!

Anyone else have blogging clothes?
