Morning Ladies,How do you perceive yourself? Is it the same way others see you? Often times we are hard on ourselves, and I think, as women, compare ourselves to others or we find flaws in our own selves. I loved this quote by Marilyn Monroe,
“ Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.' There are so many quotes about being yourself, and being happy with what you see.
What I have come to realize over the years, is that, i strive to be a good person and the person I am proud to be. All of the insecurities over the years, especially in my youth have faded, as i look at myself as someone who has overcome challenges, a person who cares about others, and someone with a strong relationship with family.
Happy Tuesday!Yes, we did end up with a Winter Wonderland last week when hubby took these pics. I am not a cold weather person when it comes to taking pics, but couldn't help but want to get photos surrounded by snow. Usually in Charlotte, when they predict snow of 4+ inches, everyone rushes out for bread, milk and toilet paper, and we get a dusting. This time, they were spot on! The photos are a tad dark, but it was the best I could do in this weather. I decided to do some pattern mixing on the blog today, with 3 patterns mixed, including my new brocade booties. I have also included at the bottom of the post some other posts Ive done with pattern mixing.
Good Morning!I touched a bit on the Pantone Color of the Year in this post,

Hello Friends,Let's talk about music and some fashionable rocker style today.. but first...Over the weekend we went to the Jazz Room, a smaller intimate venue in Charlotte, where we saw a pianist, Chad Lawson ,play Gershwin. Loved it! I am a lover of Jazz Standards and the tune "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" was one of Gershwin's tunes the jazz band played at our wedding....it was supposed to be funny. I am sure by now you know that I graduated at Duquesne University's School of Music with a B.A in Guitar Performance, and Music Education. I went for further education a few years later to receive my M. Ed. My main interest began when I was 10, playing guitar. I still remember the first tune I learned-"Dust in the Wind".from .Kansas. I would later get books by John Denver and enjoyed playing folk and rock tunes. In high school and later, my inner rocker was released.... now, years later, I feel that with this outfit I am wearing...A long floral velvet kimono/duster, black jeans, and block heeled black booties, kind of gives off a "Stevie Nicks Vibe".
