The title has absolutely nothing to do with this look, I’ve been listening to The Decemberists and “Down By The Water” is stuck in my head. For anyone who hasn’t listened to anything by The Decemberists, check out that song! it kinda reminds me of 70s Tom Petty! hehe. On to the look, I was playing around with vintage 70s looks and when I put this dress on by Gato it just sang to me! I wish I could find something like this in RL…me thinks a trip to zee vintage shop is in order soon! BTW, Gato is so awesomecakes! I love all of the vintagey/hipster type stuff there. Check it out!

Helloooo! I've been playing catch up the past week, with the color challenges. My RL got really insaaaane, so I wasn't able to keep up like I would have wanted. I'm working on Taupe now, but I have Cerise, Green, Silver, Sienna and Indigo posted up on my flickr page. I didn't want to take up blog space with old news, so if you're interested click the little linky link!
I'm not sure where I came up with this look at, I really wanted to see what I could do with the sweater from Gato but at the same time I had been mentally scrolling through my head for a few days on what I could do with the Emery jeans I had just picked up. So..I decided to see what happened together and everything just fell into place! Though, I was told by a friend that I looked like I needed to be in school. haha! I also wanted to try and work out a little picture taking area with the Old Attic from Reek. I always have found attics fascinating, so many things to be found in them! Also, a great place to play dress up with all the old clothes up there ;)

Oh how I love yellow. Its sunny and bright...it makes me smile :)
When I started thinking about yellow and how I could mold it into an outfit for this challenge, I started thinking about how Yellow made me feel. Fun. Happy. Light. Silly. Then I thought of how the circus made me feel the same way when I was a kid. And thus, Little Clown was born. Hope you enjoy! (I feel late posting it! ahh!)

This weeks color for the 52 weeks of color challenge is Sepia. When I first saw it was going to be Sepia... I had a total WTF face. "WTF AM I GOING TO DO!!!?" was my reaction. So I thought about it, and thought about it, and thought about it some more. Sepia reminded me of old photographs from yesteryear...which somehow in my mind tripped into thinking about Spaghetti Westerns....and as I thought about that, I went "YESSSSSSSSSSSS!". So, here is my take on Sepia....Spaghetti(literally) Western style!

I'm always a day late and a dollar short when it comes to almost everything. I'm the constant procrastinator, in both worlds. Just one of many faults! Having said that, I've been on the "52 Weeks of Color" challenge train, I have just been so late with the picture taking that I didn't bother posting the first weeks challenge. I did put the "grey" picture on my flickr so you can see it there if you wish. I'm only like, 2 days late with the "blue" picture, so I figured I can still squeak it by and post it! :D
