Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.

Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.

"The Way You Look Tonight" featured in the film Swing Time, originally performed by Fred Astaire, written by Jerome Kern with lyrics by Dorothy Fields.

For this challenge, I felt that this song, dedicated to how wonderful someone can make you feel (when you are adored), represented all that is good and uplifting in poetry...

p.s. My look is designed around what I think she was planning to wear before Fred came along and started singing to her!!

There's nothing girly or coy about Ms Loren - she's ALL woman - now that's what I call "Va Va Voom"!!!

My SS Feelings #22: I Am Feeling Rebellious

Now, this may not look rebellious in the sea of leather, tattoos, studs and mini, mini skirts around now.

But in the mid-80's when I was in my early teens, and everyone else was a new romantic or a punk, a girl wearing classic 60's mod style was considered REALLY rebellious. Especially in the middle of a rural town where I lived!

And I must admit, my enduring love of sharp tailoring, simplicity and an Otis Redding track stems from way back then...

p.s. And I would give away my granny for this Chloe coat!

That coat really is worth trading in a relative of some sort for. I think this outfit is rebellious and cool. You could easily wear this today and get loads of compliments for it.
