Hello there,
Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art. Salazar is the host of this week's challenge:
It features this wonderful art work:
 |
| The Nebra sky disk, a disk from the Bronze Age (or possibly the Iron Age) found in the town of Nebra, Germany, which features the oldest depiction of the cosmos in the world. |
As soon as I saw this piece, I knew exactly what I'd wear:
I decided to start with my Sheila skirt.
I call it that because Sheila has the most wonderful opulent, flamboyant wardrobe with gorgeous textures, colours and garments. When I saw this wonderful metallic skirt in Oxfam before Christmas, the day before I had to go into isolation, I instantly thought of Sheila and thought it was the perfect Christmas skirt- indeed, I wore it on Christmas day. It's super swishy, wide with loads of material and it has wire in the hem so it curls and bobs beautifully!
Next, I added my dark teal cowl neck jumper from M&S to mimic the background colour of the disk.
What about the stuff?* (This is the Sheila terminology for jewellery and accessories!)
Well, I wore my Ralph Lauren boots which are a dark petrol colour. I then added this blingy gold disc necklace which I bought in Primark about 10 years ago for my ancient Greek costume for The Boys from Syracuse although, for school, I ended up wearing my lemon necklace as it is a bit too heavy to wear all day! Finally, I added my charity-shopped gold-leaf oak leaf earrings.
Head over to Salazar's blog to see how everyone else interpreted this piece.
