Knotted Dresses and a Vintage Hat

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A SUNNY, SPRINGY DAY AND THE FUNKIEST VINTAGE HAT TO GET MY JUICES FLOWING :)

MY CREATIVE JUICES BEGAN TO FLOW TODAY, AND I WAS INSPIRED...

IT ALL STARTED WITH THE VINTAGE HAT, THEN THE DRESSES AND KNOTS, 

ADD SOME THRIFTED BOOTIES W/O SOCKS (thanks Goodwill !),

AND MY ECLECTIC SOUL CAME OUTSIDE TO PLAY.

I even had the spunk to put on eye make-up ;)

( Honestly most eyes look great with liner and mascara, it gives eyes that punch ;)

I DON'T KNOW WHERE, OR HOW INSPIRATION BEGINS REALLY, 

MAYBE THE SPRING ISSUE OF IN STYLE? MARC JACOBS COLLECTIONS? NAH .....

SOME PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE IT IN THEIR BLOOD, THOUGH I STRUGGLE ....

I THINK MAYBE I TAKE A PIECE HERE AND AN IDEA FROM THERE AND SLAP MY STYLE IN THE MIX. 

I KNOW SOME PEOPLE DON'T SEE FASHION AS AN ART FORM, NOR IT MAKES THEM ACTUALLY FEEL BETTER WHEN THE THINK THEY LOOK GOOD, BUT TO ME, 

WHEN I WEAR SOMETHING I THINK IS ORIGINAL AND FUN, I FEEL GREAT :)

THE DEETS ( NOTICE THE VINTAGE BUTTONS ;)

YOU'LL BE SEEING A LOT OF THIS HAT :)

it's kind of a satin turbin ...

FROM MORNING TO DUSK,

HERE'S TO AN INSPIRATIONAL, FEEL-GOOD KICK-@SS SPRING !
