A FAREWELL

Due to the fact that everytime I try to check out this account, and it sends me to some random website, I am moving! That's right, moving. I needed an update of layout anyway and a new title, so please call your attention over to the following:

Presenting....

Drumroll please...

Overtures and Organza!

so happy blogging my friends :) Don't worry, I will keep this one so you can look back at a wonderful two years of vague-ness.

Inverted Playlist Challenge: Fireflies - Owl City

Well, anytime I hear Owl City I can't help but think lots of color and quirky selection of articles of clothing. Well, I decided to play with all the cool colors because the song is about seeing fireflies, and well, you only see them at night, so I played with the concept a wide array of blues and purples at the end of a sunset. A summer night kind of concept.

Inverted Playlist Challenge: Day Tripper - The Beatles

And with that note let's get started, haha. :)


I woke up this morning and just had a spontaneous urge to listen to the Beatles. Beatles Beatles Beatles everything. Well, I felt like I had to do a Beatles-ey outfit to fit the occasion. The seventies came more in mind for me, primarily Across the Universe and their depiction of The Beatles music in that period of time. Day Tripper was probably before their hippie days, but I went with their later interpretation.

Inverted Music Playlist Challenge?

Well, now that I am done I am very very sad because I have no musical inspiration to make outfits...so with permission, I am doing the music playlist challenge that I assigned my sister over at I Get Dressed, with a bit more liberty so to speak, so here's the lineup:

Don't Wait – Dashboard Confessional -> Except I might do "Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional

Billie Jean – Michael Jackson

Human – The Killers -> And uh "All These Things That I've Done" by the Killers

Don't Stop Believin – Journey

Day Tripper – The Beatles

Flightless Bird, American Mouth – Iron & Wine

Poker Face – Lady GaGa

This Is Not a Test – She & Him

Fireflies – Owl City

Starlight- Muse

Blame it On the Girls – Mika -> I think I'll do Mika's "Rain" instead.

Good Vibrations – Beach Boys -> "Sloop John B"

And for additional reference here's a few others beyond the playlist I would like to try:

I Never Woke up in Handcuffs Before - Hans Zimmer (from Sherlock Holmes)
Vagabond -Wolfmother (500 Days of Summer Soundtrack)
Ramalama Bang Bang - Roisin Murphy
Fell In Love Without You (Acoustic) - Motion City Soundtrack
Belle of the Boulevard - Dashboard Confessional
Here In Your Arms - Hellogoodbye
Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix
Birds - Kate Nash
The Fox - Nickelcreek
Rhapsody in Blue - Gershwin
and
Feeling Good - Muse

Goodness, this list is overwhelming. Well, better get cracking. :)

Valentines is Dead

By that I meant that this was my belated Valentines outfit that I did not wear or post anywhere near that holiday, I don't think that holiday should necessarily die. Just the commercialised portion of it.

Music Playlist Challenge Recap

Guess what! I have completed the Music Playlist Challenge. As a reminder the challenge was to create an outfit that was inspired by a song, which were twelve songs that my sister/fellow blogger I Get Dressed gave me, so it was a stretch from the usual music I gave myself. So in recap here is the twelve songs and twelve outfits I did:

Lightning Crashes by Live



Evacuate the Dancefloor by Cascada



Uprising by Muse




Cowboy Casanova by Carrie Underwood


Umbrella by Rihanna



Soul Sister by Train



Tidal Wave- Owl City



Never Saw Blue Like that - Shawn Colvin


Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles


I'm Just a Girl - No Doubt


I Dreamed a Dream - Susan Boyle/Les Miserables


Consider Me Gone - Reba



I'm not sure what to do with myself fashion-ly speaking. I am very much tempted to do the twelve songs I assigned my sister to myself though. Hope you enjoyed this, I am curious to see which ones were your favorites, so comments are appreciated!

My favorites were probably Never Seen Blue Like That and Consider Me Gone, two songs which I was not crazy about at all ironically.

Music Playlist Challenge: Evacuate the Dancefloor - Cascada

The last one! Well, I wore this outfit a week ago at night and I decided to pull it out in the daylight to do it justice, so here is the last outfit. The inspiration wasn't too difficult, I wanted a fancy dancing outfit.

New York and Company Junkie

Hmm, my shirt and my cardigan are from the same store....maybe I should have thrown on the earrings as well.

Go-Tos

I'd be lying if I said I didn't think a green shirt, a bomber, my mom's seventy scarf, my anchor blue boot cut jeans, and my seven-year old Arabian flats were my favourites.

Music Playlist Challenge: Lightning Crashes - Live

I'm running to the ending of the playlist challenge...Can't seem to feel much inspiration for this song playlist anymore. But basically I just need to throw something on I wore a few weeks ago and take a picture and it will be completed. Lightning crashes is kind of a solemn peace, so I chose a solemn color combination.

One Cool Cat

Music Playlist Challenge: Uprising - Muse

hmmm, well. I definately thought this was a more rocker, but this picture makes me want to throw up in my hands. I was going for emo face and I ended up looking like crying....and let's not talk about what in the world my legs are doing. Either way it was not a flattering angle for them.

Anywho, inspiration for this one was pretty straightforward. Glam heavy rock. I freaking love Muse so I was more than happy to dress for this song.

And guess what bloggers, that leaves us with one...two left! I have tried Evacuate the Dancefloor multiple times but can't seem to get a picture out of it, and I tried Lightning Crashes, so I have fulfilled the 30 day limit but I am doing redos. So sorry but it's coming!

I had the most beautiful fashion epiphany with this outfit: my mother's crazy 70 scarf that has every color and is very tricky to match anything actually matched with every color in my tunic! of course I had to put them together, gosh! :D

Just Upload It

Some reason I just couldn't get around to uploading this picture even though it's been ready for days. Hey, can you guess what my new favorite article of clothing is? Haha

Music Playlist Challenge: Cowboy Casanova- Carrie Underwood

A little country rock, I was looking most forward to this one...Almost tempted to try it again however. Anywho, here you go. :)

Music Playlist Challenge: Umbrella - Rihanna

Inspired from the line, "In the sunshine we'll shine together" so I wore yellow. And "Gonna let the rain pour", and I thought the skirt kind of looks like rain falling in the sky, so there you go! :)

Pretty sure I didn't look anything like the music video:

Music Playlist Challenge: Hey Soul Sister - Train

Happiness personified? I would concur with the song and the dress. :)


I kind of like how the music video goes with all neutrals when I go with all colors, once again I did not get the music video director's vision on this one.

Music Playlist Challenge: Never Saw Blue Like That - Shawn Colvin

Don't go digging deep for interpretation, I just played on the title because frankly I don't really like slow country at all so I couldn't listen to it. I'm sorry if you like it, it's just personal preference, nothing against you. However, I really really liked this outfit and got loads of compliments today, so something good did come out of it. :P

Music Playlist Challenge: Tidal Wave -Owl City

Well, this Owl City song I felt was quite a bit than their usual. I went for their kind of quirky techno appeal, but the theme of the song was more sadness so I pulled out blues and grays. It reminded me a lot of water so I kind of went for that effect.

Winter Protest

Ok, so me and my legs agreed that we are sick of wearing tights and boots and thick stuff and we both needed some breathing room. So I wore one layer (I threw a coat on over later) and floral and said no to tights because I was sick of trying to coordinate them with outfits anyway, so I sucked it up, went outside to what seemed like a nice day but it turned to be bitter cold, so when I got back I threw on boots and felt a little bummed. But whatev, here it is, this dress is amazing! However I might iron and stretch it just a bit next time.

Music playlist Challenge: Video Killed the Radio Star - The Buggles

Well, my inspiration was very straightforward this time around. I just pulled out my favorite parts of New Wave Eighties....and I indeed had a yellow shirt like the band. :P


This me getting all eighties on you, which does not happen much at all because I am mixed about that decade with fashion (as opposed to the 70s or the 20s haha). But it was fun trying it today, all guys responded to this outfit. One guyfriend of mine didn't recognize me. Two said they totally loved the whole outfit. And those two plus two more guys said they really liked the tie. Yeah, I would be a stylish man if I was a man, haha.

Music Playlist Challenge: I'm Just a Girl - No Doubt

Well, this time the first thing that came to my mind was "Gwen Stefani style!", seeing as she is the lead singer of No Doubt. Well, I didn't go with her sporty side, sorry, I chose her other side which includes the signature animal print, the mixing of prints, and you guessed it- red lipstick. It was a good day, got complimented today on my fashion bravery with putting two prints together. I also got called "Cruella Devil" because of my recent use of animal prints and pleather, but oh well, that's besides the point.

Music Playlist Challenge: I Dreamed a Dream - Les Miserables/Susan Boyle?

My sister reference I Dreamed a Dream to Susan Boyle, but I decided to stick to the original source. Well, I decided to go for a modern Les Miserables outfit, basically channeling Broadway French Civil War chic. :P Well, what better than knee high boots and a peasant top, eh? All the characters in this play aren't dressed all frilly like the Bourgeois so I kept it simple but vintagey. However, I Dreamed a Dream is a romantic airy song so I chose a light color palette and wore my heart pendant with a skirt to channel the soft romantic-ness of this part of the play.

Chillaxed

Well, this was when I was home and the weather was just wonderful outside. This is how I do casual. :P
