The Power of Pink

Don't make fashion own you, but decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.  

~ Gianni Versace

I guess being with family and friends for the holiday left me feeling sentimental, because I have another retro outfit for you today.  My rose-colored fringed vest is from BoHo HoBo and was available yesterday as part of Fifty5 Thursdays.  Under my vest, I am wearing one of my fashion staples, an intrinsic tank in blush, from Jane.  They come in a multitude of colors and are free!  These brightly-hued Flower Power jeans are also available at BoHo Hobo, and they come with the belt shown.  I tinted my free Sunara necklace from Burroughs Jewelry to coordinate with my outfit.  Also free, my Chloe SK Group Gift skin has been embellished with make up layers from Mock Cosmetics.  One thing I love about the Firestorm Viewer is the ability to wear multiple layers of make up.  First, I began by wearing Mythic Neutralizer from Mock to tone down the pink and purple hues in the free skin.  Next, I added the free Opal LipColor Contessa tester from Mock for a soft blush tone on my lips.  Finally, I applied Funsies eyeliner in smoked senna, also from Mock.  My lovely hazel Eternal eyes from Ikon are rimmed with Mysteria Mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics.  To soften the darker brows of the Chloe skin, I added Belleza's Chloe SK light brows.  My hair today is actually a combination of two styles from Catwa.  The bangs are from Rosa and the rest is from Razan, both are in the shade "honey."

Boho Flowers

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

I hope those of my readers who reside in the United States had a joyous Thanksgiving holiday.  I am grateful for all of the blessings I have in my life and for the time spent today and every day with family and friends. 

This bohemian style dress, called 1968 is part of Fifty5 Thursdays this week.  I wasn't going to blog it, but I had several compliments on it, so I decided to do a quick post.  Although it may be too late for you to get these items for 55L, you can bookmark the Fifty5 Thursdays website and see what they have to offer next Thursday.  I love the large patchwork squares and the retro prints of the fabric in this dress and the way it sweeps all the way down to my toes.  The blue necklace and earrings which I am not wearing are included with 1968.  My shape, Chelsey, is also from Fifty5 Thursdays, and the great news is it comes with a modify version!  To go along with the sixties feel of this outfit, I wanted a long, braided hair and Interrupt from elikatira was the perfect style for the look!  I am wearing Polly in cacao from Al Vulo and Ikon Horizon Eyes v2 in Caramel.  Tattoo layer lashes from Mozz Cosmetics are my only make up addition.

Dance Like Nobody's Watchin'

 Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.

-Satchel Paige

Here I am in the Garden of Dreams, dancing like nobody's watching in Flower Power, one of the hippie-themed offerings available at The Perfect Wardrobe.  Complete with over-the-knee suede boots, this mesh dress is reminiscent of the sixties with its rich, circle-within-a-circle print fabric.  Offering a softly draped asymmetrical skirt, long, loose sleeves and a scooped neckline,  this frock comes in multiple sizes.  I've chosen to accessorize with Hemp Hair Beads and the Groovy Peace Necklace, both from Earthstones. 

My hair from EMO-tions is called Juliet.  Over my Chloe SK group gift from Belleza, I have layered a make over called Futura Bloody Catagonia (not free) and May LipColor [Twine] (free sample) both from Mock Cosmetics, as well as tattoo layer lashes from Mozz Cosmetics (not free).  These mesmerizing eyes are Sunrise Eyes in Light Arabian Blue from Fashism (now Ikon).
