Tuesday is the New Monday

Here's my Style Imitating Art inspiration for today:

Prinzessin Victoria Louise Poppy by Colleen Parker

Come on now, let's jump in and take a closer look at these stunning flowers...

yeah, poppies, doesn't it gives you that's 60s -70s vibe?

Well, I'm heading off to join Style Imitates Art, Monday Mingle, and Patti's Not Dead Yet Style, if I'm not too late.

Oh, oh and I supposed to say what I'm wearing.  Let's see...the pink reversible vest, fringed tank top, necklace with locket and pink linen pants have all been refashioned by me.  Pink snakeskin boots are thrifted, pink long necklace is from Mom, and green sheer flowered top is old beach wear.  That's it, folks.

Pink Snakeskin Boots

Yeah.  My ensemble du jour evolved around them, so watch for it.  Everything else has been seen/worn previously.  Ready?

made-from-scratch knit top, gifted thrifted vest, and very old bracelet

gifted hand-made necklaces

made-from-scratch drapey skirt

refashioned sheer pantaloons, old tights cut into sox, thrifted pink faux snakeskin boots

The rabbit just hangs out there as a door stop.

See more pix in situ after the break...

Rolling, Rolling...

as in Grant Wood's pastoral scenes.  Style Imitating Art references his painting Young Corn for today's inspiration.

And here I am planted in the scene:

There's more after the break...

Party Like It's...

Megan Mae's birthday bash.  Yes, I was there along with a host of other bloggers to celebrate her 23rd.  Check it out!

yeah, baby

I was a dancing fool.  But I couldn't help it.  Just look at those pants!  Plus the music was stellar.  Other than being a bit big, and stretchy and drapey-droopy...you can see what they actually look like on my Clothes for Winter page.

Oh wait, I think I have an undistorted, relatively speaking, picture of me wearing 'em.  hmmm.  Yes, yes, here it is.  Oh my.  I look like a sculpture done in marble - or at least the pants do.

See it after the break! 

Kimono in the Closet

Style Imitates Art is back from the holidays (yea!) with this inspirational painting:

Portrait of Emilie Floge by Gustav Klimt

See my version after the break...
