Hello! How are you?
I'm back with another outfit inspired by art.
Daenel chose this week's piece:
I do love this!! What a beautiful image- the glass shades so complimentary- the patterning, the background- all gorgeous!
Here is how I interpreted it:
I started with this vintage checked shirt dress. It has a yellowy beige background, orange and green stripes and beautiful green glass buttons. Because the dress is a little too loose on me, I added an old brown leather belt which picked up the colour of my (men's) Brogues.
To add a little more yellowy colour I added this Mistral cardigan (notice the nice criss-crossing pattern on the edge! Serendipitous detailing!). I saw this exact same cardigan in a charity shop on Saturday in a size larger- I did contemplate buying it as it would be nicer to be a bit bigger!
My green abalone shell necklace seemed quite appropriate- I liked the circular shapes and these plastic green beaded earrings seemed necessary to add some transparency to the outfit.
