I could have taken so many more nature photos!  The heavy dew and overcast day were making for some pretty photos.  The moss is my favorite!  I love moss...always have.  We used to pretend it was carpet when we played in the woods as kids. :o)

Green Bangs and Double Bright Florals


Opal Butterfly Necklace: New Mexico
Opal Ring: Gift from Hubby
Earrings: Gift from Dad from The Czech Republic
Kimono Top: Refashioned
Black Top: Old, old, old :o)
Skirt: Thrifted
Belt: Local
Blue Leather Flats: DSW (clearance)

So...I colored my bangs Green.  Why?  Well, I'll tell you...I'm testing it out before my sister's wedding.  My dress is light Green and Blue, so we thought Emerald Green bangs might look nice with it.  The wedding will have a fun, funky vintage vibe.  My sister's hair is always a rainbow of beautiful colors.  I'm the Matron of Honor, so I wanted to match the Bride more.  If we decide we don't like it, I will do my usual bright Red.  So far though...we like it! :o)

I refashioned this kimono top from a tunic my Sister-in-Law thrifted for me.  She new I'd LOVE the colors (and I really, really do!) and would make it into something fun if it didn't fit as it was.  Well, it was too tight across the chest, so I got to chopping.  I cut straight up the front, then added trim aaaalllll around.  The trim was a super long thin scarf gifted to me by a friend.  So hmm, this top was quite free. :o)  To wear with my skirt, I tied it in a knot and tucked the long back under.  I have a "before" to show you below, but I didn't take a picture of it worn loose.  Sorry!

I was so excited to discover all the same colors in my top and skirt.  One just has Green as the dominate color, the other Blue.

BTW, I think I'm getting better at the jumping off of things shot. :o)  This one was from higher up and it totally "got" my tummy!

The Before: (I had already started cutting up the front when I remembered to snap a pic)
