The Art of Disguise

Style Imitating Art is due tonight for Tuesday's showing here.  Meanwhile, why not show myself off with the Visible gang at Patti's Not Dead Yet Style, says I?  Come on over and see what we're all up to.  While I'm at it, I'm going to slip into the crowd at Monday Mingle too.  The more the merrier. So, let's get this week rolling! 

Here's the inspirational artwork:
Tree of Life stained glass by Henri Matisse

See how I styled with it after the break...


Where's pao?

I'm at one with Matisse

I'm wearing a made-from-scratch and then re-altered kimono top and skirt you've seen before.  But come on, how could I not wear this for Matisse?!  I did change it up by donning my new mustard colored tights and my old painted sandals.  (Click on bold items to find out more about them.)

    Love this stained glass, and your artistic interpretation too - the kimono is awesome. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday and stay fabulous.

    Mustard tights have never been more appropriate. Totally perfect for this Matisse.

      Who knew one could so easily camouflage oneself in a Matisse? I mean really. Blogging is knowledge.

    Yes, yes, yes ... Matisse would be proud of you! I'm not worthy to view you. What a treat, Pao. Thank you so much.

    You blend in beautifully with the Matisse. I love the position of your arms and hands, along with your total motif. How do you do it???
