| and everything's made or refashioned by moi! |
I know it's a bit much, but I wanted to wear my newly painted oxfords and dressed myself from the feet up - one thing led to another - and voila. I had to go to class. Worse things could have happened...
Come see me and others at the Pleated Poppy.
And I'm participating in Ethical Fashion Bloggers Outfit Challenge - Brights.
You are awesome!!! I kept clicking and clicking on your links and each one led to another one and another one... Your talent is incredible. I stumbled across your man's shirt refashioned into pants. Oooo, wickedly wonderful as well. In this outfit it's like you walked through a garden and the flowers just threw themselves at you and stuck on. Love, love, love!!! Your true love's painting is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI hope all the linking wasn't too off-putting! This blogging business is so complex... The flannel shirt/pants are pretty funny and really warm on those cold Chicago nights.
DeleteYou can find more of his artwork at kdoddart.com (sorry I don't know how to link in the comment area).
Your talent combined with your true love's must make you two a dynamo team!
ReplyDeleteMelanie describes the photo exactly. It's like you walked through the painting and the flowers stuck to you. Amazing as always Pao.
We make good art together, and separately!
DeleteYou two are so creative! What a wonderful collaboration!
ReplyDeleteWell, we didn't start out to be doing a collaborative piece. You could say I, what's the word?, appropriated his work for my own devices.
DeleteThat is a really great little vest. Can you share the pattern? Or did you (gasp) draft it up yourself.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's originally from a pattern that's been tweaked a bit - I added the reversibility and an extra side panel for it, and the self-made bias tape for around the armholes. It was Vogue V8000. I've made several of them you can see if you click on "vests."
DeleteI love the shape of your skirt! Like Melanie, I totally fell down the time-tunnels of your garment detail pages - and adored it. "Much" is in the eye of the beholder, and starting from your brightened, be-ribboned shoes, how perfect to step out of your True Love's work just blooming all over. In this case, much-ly delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat skirt was also from an old Vogue pattern that was tweaked to exaggerate the bow-ness of it, and to add side pockets, of course. Much is certainly the word for this ensemble.
DeleteI'm obsessed with fashion from the "teens" as in 1914-1920-ish. I love barrel skirts and slightly highwaisted coats over long-ish skirts, similar to yours. I've been staring at Erte's fashion sketches from that era and this post reminded me of those in a vague way.
ReplyDeleteI think you look loverly.
Wow, how cool to think Erte with what I'm wearing, Jean!
DeleteAlthough then I would be drawn a wee bit taller and stick skinny with an arabesque curve that wouldn't quit. Oh and be erotically charged. hee hee.
that skirt is incredible!
ReplyDeleteXo Megan
Thanks for saying..., Megan.
DeleteIt's not a bit much at all, more like a lot fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWell thanks Lynne, it wasn't like I was going to the office, was it? They've come to expect something a bit over the top from me now in class anyway.
