I married my hubby for many different things, but as a bonus, I get to wear his vintage concert tees! It only took over 18 years to get my hands on this one…
“When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it – don’t back down and don’t give up – then you’re going to mystify a lot of folks.”
― Bob Dylan
“If you try to be anyone but yourself, you will fail; if you are not true to your own heart, you will fail. Then again, there’s no success like failure” ― Bob Dylan
“He not busy being born is busy dying.” ― Bob Dylan
“There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke. But you and I, we’ve been through that, and this is not our fate, so let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late. ” ― Bob Dylan Here’s to a deep weekend! xXx
This skirt I made out of a man’s shirt. I measured, cut the top off, stitched a seam and added elastic. Wa-la! DIY and DONE! I see many more of these in my summer future! I also found the vest at the same thrift shop a few weeks later. It was just too kitschy to pass up. It could be worn with a simple tank as well. Add boots and a few feathers and done.
Well, that’s my “Any Trend Can Be Thrifted” this week. I’m already running out of thoughts. Help me out!
SHIRT:theWplace / BOOTS:gift / NECKLACE:F21? (I forget!)
I wore this outfit the day my hubby went out of town. He just loves this wig as much as I do. I actually had this hair in the 80’s, but my hair grows so fast, I was curly on the bottom, straight on top within a couple months! So the ‘weave’ wiglet is a nice, funky change without the hassle of another perm. It’s so great to be back home. Ya know what they say – Home is where your stuff is! (I actually have a new haircut, though do layers count as a real cut?)
I wandered in, (off the sofa), not knowing what I was seeking. I wast lost…. I needed salvation.
Freedom from the misleading world of blah fashion and football helmut hair.Little did I know that my faith would be tested in a way that would leave me forever changed.
I entered the Temple of Blogger.
I was on a mission. I was searching for the Almighty flow of the One. Creativity. The great inspirer. At first, as with any new religion, I was baffled at their way of life. But something was still attracting me to the flock. I wanted what they had. Confidence, self-appreciation, and an outlet to share my creativity…
At first, I stumbled. I was still lost, until…. I learned of The Commandments of Blogging. Now, as most ‘commandments’ go, I chose to follow some – was unaware of some – and broke many of them along the path of righteousness. A few I had to learn the hard way, the rest came through faith…
They are as such:
Though shalt use no graven image other than thine own. Though shalt not steal other’s original ideas. Though shalt credit all images to their original source. Remember to post faithfully. Let there be plenty of light when taking thy photos. Though shalt remain true to thyself, lest you will be a spreader of falsehood. You keep what you have by commenting back. Share with others. Tithe. Do not blast from the mountain tops your favorite hymns. That should be kept private unless you warn other’s… Word Verification is of the devil. To be a true Blogger, ye must join many groups and be bold. Do not profit from false prophets. Only profit from what you believe in, lest other’s think you a sell-out. Most importantly – Have Faith. Build it and they will come…
The Church of Blog is only for the strong hearted.
The religion of The Blog can be a tough road to travel. Many get Sainted, while many get lost – never to be heard from again. It takes a really special Blogger to become canonized. I only know of two. I hope their journey beyond the Great Blog was a peaceful one. Some just glide along, simply pleased to be a member of such a creative group. I suppose that would be the congregation I reside in.
Yes, I have stumbled-as many do from time to time when their faith is tested. I’ve had the “WHY Me’s” and the secret prayer to be a better blogger. I’ve placed other’s on a throne. I’ve lusted in my heart, seen the green-eyed demon, ENVY, and I’ve been humbled all within a week. I have entertained doubt and uncertainty, but at the end of the day, I keep my faith and keep coming back.
