When it starts to heat up, there's little you can do but yield to t-shirts and lightweight skirts. To keep it fun at work I'm trying hard to accessorize to add some texture and colors.

"Runaways" The Killers

It's finally time for me to post the last Music Inspiration Challenge 2013 picture. I definitely took my time doing this challenge, but have taken even longer to get it up! I wore this about a month ago- yikes! Time to start actually posting these pics I'm taking daily!

All I can really say is I thought of the idea of settling down, running away, and becoming some hipster mom fit to be married to Brandon Flowers, which just kept producing the plan to wear a tunic, printed pants, and a headscarf. And any girl married to a rockstar had better throw some cheetah print in there somewhere...

"Dream" Pricilla Ahn

"I had a dream, that I could fly" had birds on the mind.  I also love the soul searching lyrics and feel with the childhood innocence and whimsy of this song.  I went with a sober looking cardi and adult shoes, but wanted a whimsical necklace to tie together the rhythm and lyrics of this song.

"Stardust" Mika

At first I struggled with Stardust by Mika, all I could think was sparkly, star-based items.  But I did that last year with "Starry Eyed" and didn't want to repeat.  So, I dug deep into the lyrics and pictured this scene of a guy meeting a girl at some dressy party or club and just being so excited that he can't stop hitting on her and asking her to "when can I see you again?"  So I put on that dressy party outfit, grabbed some bombshell red Mac lipstick, and played the part to the lyric.
