orange & starfishes

Wearing an old dress with a fresh attitude and a new self-made accessory (orange starfishes!), makes me feel comfortable even when temperatures are rising in an awful way!. It's nice to pick one of your workhorses and give them another twist!
I'm feeling a certain oceanic vibe wearing a new pair of starfishes on my hair, and I've thought a mermaid tale would be perfect to link 52-Pick-Me-Up: Fairy Tale. But I'm not in a Little Mermaid mood, I'm in a very visible and audible Orange Mermaid mood. Because, if you lose your voice to indulge other people's tastes, you will lose yourself and would have nothing in return. So it's better to stay comfident and embrace your own orange mermaidness!. ;DD

Nada como ponerse un vestido ya bien conocido con una actitud nueva y con un accesorio recién hecho (estrellas de mar naranjas!) para sentirse cómoda incluso cuando las temperaturas están subiendo tan desagradablemente. Sabe bien poder sacar de nuevo una prenda antigua y darle un poco de vida!
Como estoy en este rollo tan marino con mis estrellas de mar en todo lo alto, he pensado que el cuento de la sirenita sería perfecto para enlazar con la temática de esta semana en 52-Pick-Me-Up: Fairy Tale, cuentos!. Pero yo no voy de sirenita tal cual, sino de sirenita muy naranja, muy visible y muy audible. Porque, si pierdes tu voz para complacer los gustos de otras personas, al fin, te perderás a tí misma, y a cambio de nada!. Así que es mejor seguir confiando en una misma y seguir tan sirénida y tan locamente naranja!. ;DD

  7. Great fairy tale. You said it - be your own mermaid!
    I love your bold orange and the new starfishes on your head, I just love it.
    New twists keep us going strong, like that dress as a coat. Great idea!
