Outfit Exhibits: Art-Inspired Fashion

P1020405
My first art-inspired post!  I regret to inform everyone that I failed to write down the name of all of the pieces of art in my collection (djfs(^#$HSJ!) so please forgive me.

When I first saw this painting,  the colors first stood out.  The contrast between the harsh black tones with the bright yellow, blue, and white completely inspired me.  I chose this painting to be my first inspiration because it was the first piece that I saw that immediately made an outfit come to mind and thus gave me the idea for this series!

I wanted to emulate the texture in some way or another, and since I adored the artist's use of layering colors, I decided to layer these necklaces, one silver and one gold, one with elegance and one with edge.

School has been making my life crazy already! I feel like I've been in such a rut lately.. I miss being able to go to the state park with Patrick and take amazing pictures. Starting this blog has been great for Patrick and I.. we've always had an incredible relationship, but I think that having this hobby together really brings us together.  Patrick has his music and that's his creative outlet, and I've always had a love for fashion and even vintage, so being able to share this with him is so amazing.  I love how he has started directing me in pictures and giving me great ideas for the blog.  Ok, I went off on a tangent there.. back to my point.. having to take pictures in my backyard with my tripod just isn't as fun and it's kinda hard to get inspired to do it sometimes.  Today after class I went to scout some locations that are between my house and school but I found exactly what I was expecting: not too much.  Hopefully I will have an epiphany soon!

  5. It's really nice when your man supports your hobby, isn't it? I think your style is so ladylike. You make me want to wear some of my million skirts (I gravitate toward dresses in winter because they're easier), and you a superb sense of color. Very lovely!

  6. Sorry to hear what a pain it is to find a place to take pics. I can relate, since I usually have 5 minutes to take pics while it's light outside. I have great places to go in my neighborhood, but damn! Where's the sun? Anywho, starbucks sounds great! I'm been craving a creme brulee (sp?) latte since xmas eve. I'll email you later then! Oh and I also added you to my faves!

  9. I really love this palette! I can completely see this paintings influence here! Great job! as for you man and your hobby together, total bummer. Maybe you can just do like marathon weekend shoots or something. Whats weird is that I like my tripod. I feel funny and get camera shy when my husband takes my picture. It is so cool that you have established that type of photo relationship!

Are you in undergrad or grad school? Do you want to work with adults or children....I probably should have just emailed you at this point in time! haha
