Tibetan Cowgirl

I was just eyeing this Tibetan three-piece necklace ensemble that I'd created and put an outfit together with Tibetan cowboys and cowgirls in mind...

This Tibetan cowgirl certainly knows how to make a statement with this stunning ensemble!

the Tibetan inspiration came from this ionized pendant...

I have this cowprint vest that worked so well with the cream and black floral skirt...and the pretty Tibetan jade blue-green T-shirt is an obvious match for the look...

I would also team the look with these mint jelly sandals and bangle...

Aqua mint jelly gladiator sandals

aqua mint shirt

or this pale mint green hoodie...

topped by this seafoam blue-green denim jacket...

iridescent two-toned blue green skirt

this aqua maxi skirt...

teal crushed velvet maxi skirt

Peacock blue plisse skirt

loving this jade floral dress too...

love the peacocks and peonies...

Old Navy RockStar green jeans jacket

Adidas green sneakers

these coral mules...

Orange vest

Sperry Seaport Fina mint green mules

Seafoam mules

Kolapuri sandals

Mint spacedye Skechers sneakers

Loving the very personal S for Sonya

these mint wayfarer sunglasses...

these very retro mint blue green marble sunglasses...

and for some bling...

these are really Native American bracelets and a cuff that could also be Tibetan!  The leopard print buckle bracelet is from the 1980's.

and this striking Tibetan turquoise and coral ring.

and on my Wish List, this faux Tibetan Lamb seafoam fur jacket...

but something like this cuddly pale seafoam blue green fur jacket...

WEK the World blue and green varsity jacket

Amber lens seafoam green sunglasses...

Grey lens seafoam blue green sunglasses...

And now the genuine article, some Tibetan Cowboys, who are fascinating...

I love the relevance of this pic because it's black and white with a touch of turquoise in color - how very clever!

oh, I think I might have been chanelling them...the green and the necklaces... :-)
oh, I like his carpet saddle and fedora!

Loving: gauzy floral tops

this chiffon top has roses that from this angle look more like camellias! Love the red sparkly dots that make it showy for the evening... Oh that one looks definitely like a camellia...

I wanna wear it with these rose embroidered jeans...

 roses even on the butt pocket!

love the embroidery!

this red roses choker necklace...

this barely-there pastel blue, mint and magenta poppy top pairs well with denim...

these luscious magenta jeans...

this little violet purple stretch skirt...

Miista purple holographic shoes...

this mint green, pink and ivory roses choker necklace...

and finally, this cutwork mandarin collar top with embroidered chrysanthemums...

just enjoying Spring!

Summer Scarves...

Scarves in summer? you say...why not?!!!

here are a batik headband(LHS) and a long sash(RHS) that I converted from a small bratop!

I love these gauzy cheesecloth summer scarves! Shown here on an eyelet skirt...
Ikat scarf from the 80's with gold thread going through...

love love love this pink and cocoa striped scarf bought in the 80's...

summer scarves...bring 'em on...

Tropical Summer Wardrobe

more crinkly, gauzy things: this one is a set with coconut shell buttons from India:

the entire ensemble...

H&M black camisole top worn underneath

black and white striped camisole tank top

crinkly cheesecloth tropical fronds print shorts

A simple orange vest

Batik wrap-around skirts in mustard, black and cream...

yes, I have TWO of them! they were only a couple of dollars a piece...

blue batik sarong...Garuda birds flying among the flowers...

a Hawaiian wrap top with orchids...

a pareo made in France with Gaughin's Tahitians frolicking about...

a Thai sarong with spirited marlins among the waves...

this pretty coral / salmon pink Hawaiian shirt...

actually this print is quite colourful...

this turquoise blue flamingo shirt...

 with peachy pink flamingos...

 or even this pale mint green flamingo shirt...

that just says "tropical vacation" or Miami / Florida all over it...

and this Hawaiian sunset shirt with bright corals

 I love the deep red, orange, beige, brown and olive combo...

and even this Indonesian navy and white hibiscus Hawaiian style shirt!

Now I need is a tropical vacation or a pool party to traipse around in these clothes...

Tropical Foliage Ensemble

It's hot... humid... rained yesterday... and the feeling's TROPICAL... I'm thinking of Indonesia, maybe the Hawaiian Islands... I was able to put this Tropical Foliage Ensemble together...

A very looong crinkly cheesecloth vest worn over a black and white striped slinky tank. The vest is loose, with side slits, to literally hang over the bright, tropical wrap-around skirt...a couple of Oriental themed necklaces, with a jadeite Buddha pendant...
detail of the tropical foliage of the wrap-around sarong skirt...

and here are the necklaces made by me during my many tinkering with trinkets moments...

the red tropical foliage skirt would also team well with this yellow denim jacket...

black and white striped camisole tank top

lemon yellow jeans jacket

saffron yellow orange vest

Prehistoric Plants...

Magnolias, especially the super-large ones have always seemed prehistoric to me; well they really should be - specimens dating back some 20 million years have apparently been found! This year these HUGE 9 - 10 inch long blossoms are blooming on this tree of mine which looks some 25 feet high...

this one is just over 9 inches across and dwarves the acorn in my hand:

this one's just been soaked in a late afternoon shower and seemed steamy and plump... aaaaaaaah... freshhh...

Animal Stripes

and my latest arrival-this animal stripes jumper to be worn with animal print scarves exclusively...

kind of looks like a Gabbeh rug...all abstract, rough hewn and sparse in design...

hmmm...I was thinking of some wild beast from the savannah though...

Easter Jumper

I finished this spring pastels striped jumper last week but alas it was waaaaaaaay too warm to wear it today for Easter. I'm thawing out very nicely, though I wasn't expecting us to jump into warmer weather that quickly!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
