Not a girly girl...

I tend to lean more towards the subdued colors and lots of black, white, grey, dark purple, etc.

Yet, somehow I ended up having enough "girly" colored beads for this:



Really have no idea how that happened!

Beautiful and not too girly

That is very pretty

I think it is rich and gorgeous rather than girly. Purple isn't girly to me.

You know that poem about a purple hat? Purple is a mature colour.
I know you are far away from being eighty, but read 'bracelet' instead of 'hat'

I loooove your bracelet!

Look in the Mirror

Age 3:
Looks at herself and sees a Queen!

Age 8:
Looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty.

Age 15:
Looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/Sleeping
Beauty/Cheerleader or if she is PMS'ing: sees Fat/Pimples/UGLY (Mom I
can't go to school looking like this!)

Age 20:
Looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall,
too straight/too curly" - but decides she's going anyway.

Age 30:
Looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall,
too straight/too curly" - but decides she doesn't have time to fix it so
she's going anyway.

Age 40:
Looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall,
too straight/too curly" - but says, "At least I am clean," and goes any
way.

Age 50:
Looks at herself and sees "I am" and goes wherever she wants to go.

Age 60:
Looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even
see themselves in the mirror anymore. Goes out and conquers the world.

Age 70:
Looks at herself & sees wisdom, laughter and ability, goes out and
enjoys life.

Age 80:
Doesn't bother to look. Just puts on a purple hat and goes out to have
fun with the world.

Ha, so pychologically I'm 80

Yeah, far ahead of your time, isn't that great?

Forgot all about that great poem, so true, am just not quite sure yet which age bracket I fit in today .
Thanks for posting it again Tinka, it is just to funny!

My state of mind is 80+ today, it's a good feeling I can assure you.

Hope you are fine too Dinmi

Very pretty, especially the dillo

Nice poem! and purple is my fav color! always have been since i was a kid. so I'm an old soul! lol

i do see many old ladies with purple clothes, i think it looks amazing!

I love purple - does that make me 80 ?
And I love your bracelet - even more when I look out of the window and see only white and white and more white......

Lovely bracelet. I love the soft colours.
