23 Apr Girl’s Best Friend

Marilyn Monroe once said, ” Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”.  Well, I would tend to argue that statement, and say that she never met my boy, Gibby! He is my shadow, my audience for when I make up goofy songs around the house, my comfort when I have a good or bad day. He is my furry red teddy bear.

I wanted to show or depict the graphic t I was wearing. It first caught my attention because of the cloth used on the skirt of the girl. I wanted to show the picture with my outfit, so I looked at the shirt, got out my fuller skirt, a green bag, and held my red little puppy up in the air, as you can see on the t-shirt. And for this shoot, and only, I wore these awesomely cute 40s styled grey pumps I love. In other words, I did my best at trying to re-create the pic in the t-shirt. Gib is a good sport, so he was more than happy to participate. He loves the camera, my girl is shy. I will need to include her at another time. This jacket, by Betsy Johnson, I loved from the start. Being in NC, I have more leather jackets than wool coats, as I just don’t need it, I just wanted a lighter color, and between the details and the nude color, I decided to buy it.

for me, diamonds would be lovely to have, but you can’t sing to them, talk to them, pet them, love them, and have them love you! For me, this girl’s best friend is her puppies.

P.S. Here and there you may see me wear heels for the blog pics. Notice I am still smiling. That is with the knowledge I will be taking them off in the next 5 minutes! Kitten heels may be up my alley, we’ll see.
