When I realized how much these vintage beaded earrings matched my teal butterfly sweater it was an instant match up. I’ve had the earrings a while, it took me a while to be brave enough to wear them for two reasons; they are quite a standout and oh so delicate.
Flash adds so much splash
Natural light limits the sight
Don’t worry, as the days get lighter my need for flash lessens.

It still blows me away that she ripped us off with a 15 minute performance back in 2008, but her release of the Paparazzi video is when I got over it. Then I got tickets to see her with Kanye West and of course that was canceled lol. I probably should have bought tickets to Monster Ball (video linked right above) but after that 15 minute debacle I still couldn’t bring myself to buy tickets for just her again. Mind you, that was before the Bad Romance video dropped.
Have you been let you down by an artist before?
More importantly, did you get over it?

Fab outfit, I love those colours together! Very fresh and looking-forward-to-spring-like

Oh my gosh, the earrings and sweater were meant for eachother, so perfect!!!

Love the colour! Sometimes bad experiences can leave such a bad taste that you can’t forget.

I’m going to see Gaga this month!
There are definitely some artists who disappoint but nothing that’s devastated me too badly.

They are perfect together yet not matchy-matchy in an icky way! Love that colour combo!
January 13th, 2010 5:48 pm
Lovely dress! And I will send a picture for your party

Those earrings and that sweater are perfect together! I’ll try to send a party picture in the next few days.

Perfect shade of lipstick for that outfit, too

normally i dislike using flash, but for these ambient lighting conditions/fabrics I think the flash really works to showcase the outfit. Love the dress, so cute and summery! I miss summer.

I love the fun pattern on that cardigan. I’ll be ever-so happy when it’s light enough everyday to use natural light instead of my flash.

I love that sweater and those earrings are just great!
As for the being let down by an artist thing: I was let down by Rooney’s second album. For one, it took so long for it to come out. Years and years it seemed. So when I finally heard it… Blasting Rooney while driving around in my friend’s beat up old truck was a big part of high school for me. Maybe that is just where Rooney was supposed to stay.

Hmmmmm, I’ve never really been disappointed by an artist in terms of concerts as I avoid them like the bubonic plague; they’re crowded and noisy to normal people, but magnify it by 3 and you have the Autistic perception (i.e. me). I have been disappointed by a musical artist’s music though, especially if there’s a lot of hype about it. I might love one of their CDs, but hate the rest (as is the case for Katie Melua. Love Piece by Piece, hate her freshman album). Alternatively, I might love their freshman CD, but hate their sophomore CD. I’m so picky about my music.

This is beautiful…. The color combo is so great on you! Looks super pretty against the sky too!

I absolutely adore your sweater! The colours and pattern are just perfect and it really does look fantastic on you too. And the way the wind has caught your dress in that first photo just kills me. Now I am definitely wearing something soft and floaty tomorrow!
As for being let down by an artist, I would always get miffed when I bought an album the day it came out only to then see it re-released with bonus material. Although I guess it’s not such a big deal these days with iTunes and the like.

I’ve been let down by Prince when I discovered that he had turned a Jehova’s Witness! XD
I looove this outfit! Great colours!
January 14th, 2010 5:51 am
You are all S/S 2010 trendy
I love the cardi with the earrings. Perfect match!
January 14th, 2010 6:37 am
OMG I love the teal sweater it looks so beautiful
The color combination looks great as well. By the way is ts me or Lady Gaga’s dance in the dark intro sounds like Depeche Mode’s strange love O.O I think it’s a great song no matter what.
much love,
Glendy

You look drop-dead gorgeous here. And here we go again: What lipstick is that?
January 14th, 2010 9:52 am
The dress is the perfect canvas for those earrings!!!
January 14th, 2010 9:53 am
Those earrings are beautiful!
January 14th, 2010 11:15 am
Gosh, you girls are making me blush with your sweet comments.

Glad not many of you have been let down by artists.

That’s a beautiful lip color on you!

This is a comment way after the fact: LOVE THE OUTFIT!! Looks so comfy…comfy and warm… (it’s been single digits in the past couple weeks in the Northeast. Finally warming up significantly today).
Haven’t been disappointed by any musical artists yet, but that’s because I stick to smaller pub venues. I shy away from those mega-rock concerts unless it’s Pearl Jam or (if some godly being would grant my wish) David Bowie who starts touring again.
January 14th, 2010 6:22 pm
I was being sarcastic about the “warm” part — I think I’m jealous you can wear such fabulous outfits!! (Especially the spring-turned-fall/winter dresses)
I’m too much of a wuss to the cold to wear skirts without leggings/heavy tights. Keep these lovely outfits coming!!
January 15th, 2010 4:45 am
Oh goodness. I may be a little smitten with Lady Gaga, but showing up for a 15 minute performance is three songs. What’s the point? Obnoxious.
Oh a lighter note, the spring colors are so pretty on you! And the dress looks like a lovely find!
January 15th, 2010 7:53 am
Oh wow, that teal color is simply magical with your complexion! Gorgeous!
January 15th, 2010 12:07 pm
Love the earrings and sweater combo. You really look great in pastels.
January 15th, 2010 9:21 pm
This look is amazing, I think one of my favorite! Great find on the dress!
