blown away

I got my title from the movie we were watching this morning at like 4am when you usually get unknown old movies. Anyway doesn't it sound so romantic? BLOWN AWAY..but the whole plot was about 
this guy who makes ingenuous bombs and kept blowing people up! 
(so yah kinda literal that title). 



Anyway I think the title suits my outfit for today. 
Something Ironic. the way i like it. something unexpected. not going all the way with one look - like how this blouse being army green toughened up this tutu dress. do not want people looking at me and feeling the need to throw up because of too much girli-ness or too much rock, punk or something like that. 



there are special times when i get inspiration for my outfits while i am half asleep that moment when you stop dreaming almost awake but images still flash in your head? 


then you just build it up piece by piece


thought i was not going to be able to wear this tiny lil dress i got so long ago - i was thinner then and obsessed with the romantic. I get a lil bit side-tracked once in awhile but i do come back to my roots. 



see the rosettes? that nailed it. 
took it out of the rack in a flash

BUT 

wouldn't you like to imagine fairies and meadows and butterflies 
messy hair with flowers, me dancing barefoot singing a tune.

NAH

that's why this is real life.
