Florida makes me want to wear nothing but brights, splashy prints, and of course, sunglasses. Even when it's seemingly gloomy outside, the sun is still bright enough to merit shades - hence the state's nickname, "Sunshine State". I end up putting sunglasses on every time I step out but can't wear them without one of two songs popping into my head: "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" or "Boys of Summer" (you got your hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby). It can be a little distracting. But it's just the way my brain works.
I tend to have a song in my head to go with just about every moment of my life. When I can't think of one that fits, I make one up (like The "Little Little" theme song that I wrote for a cat I rescued who now belongs to my sister - and not to go off on one of my tangents, but as if on cue, Little Little just jumped up on the bed like a unicorn and meowed). I even like to start my day with a particular song, which is eventually retired and replaced with a new one. Tom Petty's "American Girl" has been going pretty strong for awhile now, but others have included The Wannadies "You and Me", Phoenix "1901", Justin Timberlake "Da** Girl", The Bird and the Bee "My Love", Broken Social Scene "All to All", Michael Jackson "PYT", Violent Femmes "Blister in the Sun" and a bevy of others. What can I say? I like to wake up with a little bit of happy music.
As for my personal theme song, I suppose it would still have to be "The Prize Fighter" by The Velveteen. Ten years and I still haven't replaced it. What's your theme song?

























Beautiful dress. Suits you very well.

Funny coincidence, my theme song IS "The boys of Summer". How weird was that? I'm an 80's teenager, I am.

Your looks are a combination of cute and tough. The leather jacket surely has the "bad girl" look to an otherwise sweet and soft outfit. The sunglasses offer a cool factor as well. :) Great outfit, yet again!

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, "The earth says 'hello', twinkles above us, twinkles below....." Love it. My theme song changes frequently, but it's often whatever is on the radio when I get in. Today it was Harry Nilsson's "Everybody's Talkin'" I love it for "I'm goin' where the sun is shinin' through the pourin' rain, goin' where the weather suits my clooooothesss". And I have been eying those shoes forever now, I'm pretty sure they will suit the weather wherever.

ReplyDeleteOoh the beading on the clutch is magnificent. As for songs... when I get ready for a formal event, I imagine "Whatever Lola Wants" [Sarah Vaughan version]. Perfect red lipstick theme.
ReplyDeleteMy theme song is "This Year" by The Mountain Goats. A little angry/depressed for a them song, I guess ("I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me") but what always makes me feel great when I hear it is how defiant it is.
ReplyDeletei am in love with that dress!

Your dress is so pretty and in my favorite color! You look amazing. And actually, "Boys of Summer" is my road-trippin song. I always imagine that song blasting with all the windows rolled down and cruising down the highway. Love it. Personal theme song though....that's a toughie. :) <3

Salt n' Pepa's "Push It" always gives me positive vibes. And "Groove is in the Heart" too

This dress reminded me of my favorite book as a child, "Princess Furball"
ReplyDeleteIn the book she asks for a "dress as golden as the sun"
If she asked for a dress like that in 2012 I feel like this is what would be made for her :)
Sooo pretty
