Outfits and Inspiration

You got to be inspired by something right?  Incase your are feeling dull in this turning-fall-weather, I present to you inspiration I have found on-line or in person of the new season!

Because I'm busy, and have not posted a lot of outfits lately - I bring you these with good wishes for colorful leaves and hot cider in mind!

HEADSCARVES are a win - I just haven't figured out how to wear them yet!

I DO NOT KNOW what is going on here, but I deeply appreciate the flawy fabric with the flowers, as well as the detain on the top (don't look to hard she's bearing it all for you!)

HATS in case you don't know: I'm bringing them back.  Question is: 

where to get pretty crafted vintage hats? I'm experimenting with making some as of now.

A QUICK FIX for boring pants, plus a nautical flair!

NOT EXACTLY FALL, but I really like one sleeved garments (if you couldn't tell from dress up your dresses post...)

BLACK LACE is so good, you can use it on anything!  Plus it makes for a killer stencil if you feel like doing spray paint patterns!

HAIRBOWS make auditioning for choir a little more fun...

ANOTHER skirt from a mans button-down.  Thanks large men who like pink, you make my wardrobe a little more fun!

BEADED ROSES seem like the perfect thing for a easy but awesome gift (sorry anyone if I make and give you one of these.  just pretend you didn't read this!)

A MORE INTRICATE TAKE on the mens button-down.  This actually involves some sewing, but I love the buttons at the top!

HECK YES to bags made of recycled sails! I feel like it should fold out or something so you can sail down the street!

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW!

Life as a music major

press play before reading

One teacher, sitting on an ornate rug, strumming his tambura to create a mesmerising drone that enveloped the room.

Fifty students, total strangers, visitors to his world, sitting close around him as he taught them their first note:

sa.

At first this was all we sang, we needed nothing more.  One note on which to blend our voices with the unwavering clarity of the tambura in the resonate recital hall.

Then slowly we were taught the words, then the melody, all the while the constant buzz of the tambura strings vibrating through us around the room.  

We sang.

The words were merely sounds, the style of singing still foreign and unstable in our throats, but none of that came through in our music.

The melody was beautiful, regardless of the authenticity of our singing.  

We created magic.

Regardless of if that sounded cheesy, ornate, irrelevant, today I discovered a whole new direction college classes could take - and I liked this new discovery very much.

Down the Rabbit Hole

"You look like Alice in Wonderland went to art school!"

So that wasn't exactly what I was thinking today when I got dressed, but you know I'll take it with pleasure!  It's not everyday you get compared to Alice in Wonderland + Art School.
