These Boots and Songful Style Linkup

Songful Style gives you lyrics, music, video, and album artwork to inspire your fashion creativity. You may even find inspiration in a memory triggered by the selected song. It is all open to your own personal interpretation and just a fun way to discover new music and get a little bit more creative with your wardrobe. 
Join me and my cohosts SuzyShelbeeMichelle, and Marsha in this month's fun linkup party inspired by Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made for Walkin'"

What is Songful Style? 

A fun way to explore your closet, inspired by music.

The brainchild of Suzy and Shelbee,  "Songful Style gives you lyrics, music, video, and album artwork to inspire your fashion creativity. You may even find inspiration in a memory triggered by the selected song. It is all open to your own personal interpretation and just a fun way to discover new music and get a little bit more creative with your wardrobe." [lifted from Shelbee]

Layer Up

 Baby, it's cold outside!
1958
1962

OK, maybe it's not that cold here in Los Angeles.
I'm still wearing layers though! I am a SoCal wimp!

The 2022 uniform.

This is what I wear INSIDE! 
It's usually colder inside the house than outside, especially when the sun is shining.

Happy Lunar New Year!

 2022 is Year of the Water Tiger

Water Tiger things available on Redbubble

There was a student-sponsored event at Otis, with dumplings and packets of Lucky Money.

This is the outfit I was intending to wear

But it's all an illusion. We had a water heater disaster and couldn't go to Otis. Sigh.

I took a "Make Space for Grace" decluttering course with Katie Rogers in preparation for Chinese New Year, and I'm very proud of my achievements.

The studio/bedroom became especially improved (after on top)
(A lot of those boxes have relocated to the living room. Going slow and steady and one space at a time).

One's entry is an important space to tidy up. Ours looks great at the moment.

Before:
It's been a lot of work, and well worth it.

Mr Lou agrees:
