Sooooo, I know this is very close to the outfit I wore for the last round of SIA. But, I didn't have much else to play with to achieve the color palette and feminine, organic quality of the painting for this week's SIA. So, suck it up, y'all.
I'm really not the kind of person that avoids wearing the same thing twice. If I love something I want to get as much use out of it as possible. This cardigan, for instance has been a very trusty companion for years and I've found a multitude of ways to wear it. I also think I lived in the dress all summer long. You might be able to tell by this point that I have a thing for lace dresses and it ain't goin' away!
I did try to give it a bit of a different look with the brooch and scarf though. It does take it in a little different direction.
I was really taken with the beauty of this painting, especially the different shades of orange and pink. I decided to use my make up to mimic some of the great color by keeping it overall natural and using bright coral pinks on my lips and cheeks. It brought a sense of life and freshness to my face that is reminiscent of the painting.
Perfect interpretation! I completely forgot about it this week, but mine wouldn't have been this good anyway. What is that lipstick? I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's Mac lipstick in Vegas Volt. I just got it at Mayfair last weekend. Since it's the amplified creme finish the staying power is amazing and it feels really great on. I'm totally addicted to it!
DeleteOh my gosh, THAT DRESS!! I love it! I have a picture of Katy Perry in my fashion inspiration notebook and she is wearing pretty much that exact dress. She was at a concert and just looked magical and I've always imagined myself wearing the same dress. The closest I've come is a pure white lace maxi.
ReplyDeleteOk, ok, enough about that. :P lol You look ravishing! I love the make-up colors you chosen. They compliment you so well! I was thinking that the head scarf you chose especially represents the flower stems of the painting. What a great match! :)
Lol! Thanks! This dress is definitely one of my "treasures." It's starting to get a little worn in but, I don't care.
DeleteYour outfit is a very good interpretation of the painting. I love your lace dress too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love rummaging through my closet to find those pieces that really resemble the painting. It totally stretches your creativity!
