Favorite Book










Casie's Look:


My favorite series of books is the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett and my favorite character in those books is Granny Weatherwax. I didn't have any clothing nearly practical enough to pass muster with granny and I am sorely lacking of a pointy hat, but I thought she MIGHT not mind basic black. I have on these two necklaces because she is hard edged but with a heart of gold and the owl is because she can leave her body and take over the minds of birds.



ONE of my favorite books - I can't help going with the crowd on this - Harry Potter is just amazing. I miss them and have to go back and visit them occasionally! This is my attempt at Minerva McGonagall's black on black, stern yet heart of gold look:) Sweater (that looks a little teacher Hogwarts to me) was a gift from the sistah. I am also wearing black jewelry, but my blurry picture doesn't show it very well. It is snowing here - perfect day for a book by the fire if I didn't have three kids at home;) Happy New Year to you all!

Monday's Challenge: TEXAS

Egyptian

















Casie's Look:





I went with classic black and white because Egyptian is very classical. Also Egyptians love accessories so I went big on those. Classic asp snake bracelet, layered necklaces, ring and bracelet - Christmas gifts. Earrings, Target. Jeans, Kohls. Jacket, Thrifted. Owl Necklace, Stella and Dot. Long necklace, Target.


Kim's Look:

A very blurry photo - with the office being so empty, my picture was taken by someone who isn't iPhone savvy. But, in celebration of Egypt, I am the Egyptian flag. I'm wearing a black Splendid shirt with red embroidery on the sleeves and collar (even though you can't see it in the photo!), and gold jewelry from Stella and Dot!


Lisa's Look:


I wanted to be a pyramid today, but I couldn't find sand color or triangles;). I am wearing my favorite shirt for beautiful hieroglyphics, gift from Sis. The white shirt was a warm under shirt Christmas gift. I made sure to wear black eyeliner today for Egyptian flair. I love Egyptian history.
