Colors of Tibet

I love this THANGKA from Tibet which features Green Tara, a Bodhisattva in traditional Tibetan colors of red, saffron, yellow, burgandy, pinks...
It inspired me to make some scarves from materials which my sister had brought back from India on her first visit there... Love the deep saffron orange hue of this sari material that has a gold embroidered edge -- also makes me think of ancient Rome...

this short sleeve coral denim jacket...

a Chadwick's of Boston red trench coat and a bright yellow silk scarf with red detail...

Orange linen jacket

Old Navy saffron yellow rain jacket

Coral jeans jacket

this saffron orange cinched waist hooded jacket

a closeup of the scarf I created...

this neon yellow bandana...

and this mondavi for target neon yellow messenger bag

and a gorgeous burgandy scarf with deep yellow motifs paired with a sunny yellow hooded trench...

a better view of the trench from Walmart...

and this saffron yellow denim jacket when a coat is excessive...

This yellow and white gingham tiered skirt...

Neon yellow moccasins

couldn't resist these Birkenstock type sandals at Walmart for $9.99...

and these saffron / marigold peeptoe shoes in faux patent leather...

this saffron tee would go well with the saffron peeptoe shoes...

that will team well with this saffron scarf...

and finally a pair of red crocs for a couple of bucks!

this chunky amber necklace...

this yellow jasper nugget strand...

or even this yellow aventurine strand...

these blonde tortoiseshell sunglasses...

and these vintage amber frame sunglasses...

 that look so retro with their broad arms...

these orange sunglasses...

or these cranberry red sunglasses...

And here are some of favorite images of Tibet and my inspiration...

saffron jacket and cool shades!

a scene from the movie, Seven Years in Tibet, a cinematic feast for the eyes...

                                                  loving these amazing Tibetan masks...

Hawaiian Shady Brady?

I found this hat yesterday for $2.99 and though it's a "Shady Brady," which is very Texan/Cowgirl, it also looks very much like a Hawaiian Plantation hat, because it has a carved mother of pearl plumeria flower! It actually matches some items I have including a pair of linen pants...

Shady Brady from the front...

and the back view...

yes, it's a perfect match!

RODEO DIVA

So ever since I've discovered the Junk Gypsy Company, every kitschy country western style item in my wardrobe is popping right out! Nay, I am seeking them out to bring to the forefront

*** to shine in neon lights ***

an embroidered snap buttoned shirt that SCREAMS Rodeo Diva!!! (paired here with a tiered crushed brown velvet skirt)

yes folks, the label on the Rodeo Shirt says, "RODEO DIVA" hehe...

this is too much fun!!!
