Dream it. Creams and Green make for a Spring Time Fling.
Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.-Kahlil GibranI've been having a lot of colorful dreams lately. In the dream, it feels like real life, but there will come a moment, when I as dreamer, will note that a large bird nesting in the bush on the lawn or a house drinking up rainbows, is NOT something that is normal in one's waking life. Therefore a dream. Pity really, as I love the technicolor aspect of a glorious dream. Dreams unite ideas, real life problems and fancy. Real life inspiration is often the outcome.

The end of wisdom is to dream high enough to lose the dream in the seeking of it.-William Faulkner
Taking a cue from dream time, I dolled up in an incongruous pairing of a vintage 1960s handmade plaid jacket with a secondhand sourced contemporary silk lined skirt. The skirt has a print that evokes a hand-painted abstract plaid, and that painted effect inspired me to grab a beat-up (and paint stained) old valise and using it as a handbag. The hat seemed a natural for the jacket, and the shoes, well, they were put on, just because they're dreamy. You'll be getting a glimpse of the shoes on Wednesday.

Bonus: BLOG LIFE. I had a lot of fun joining Arash and Heather for a Google Hangout discussing Spring Trends. It was cool to see and hear some of my blogger friends, especially when we are half way around the world, dressing it up in different time zones. If you missed it (and you most likely did) and want to check it out, I've post it here. As an aside, it is WEIRD to see yourself on the YouTube! I hope I didn't make too big a fool of myself. But here it is.
