Warm Tones

I'd say this is an outfit I'd probably wear in the fall, or early spring, except you're seeing it today because it's 70 degrees out! I won't complain about the mild weather, though I think it's confusing the heck out of our neighborhood trees. They don't know whether to keep their leaves or drop them!

To the Legion of Honor in the Woods Dress

What a wonderful and relaxing weekend! After a tasty brunch out in the city, I went to see the Isabelle de Borchgrave exhibit at The Legion of Honor. It was a fascinating retrospective of her work filled with painted paper dresses that were made to resemble dresses from the Medici era through the late Victorian era. Please follow the link above to see some examples and even a video of the artist, photography was not allowed so I don't have any photos to show. It won't be up for much longer, so if you have a spare moment to scoot over to the museum and see it in person, I would highly recommend it. 

For the occasion I wanted a bright splash of color, and there's no better dress in my closet for the job than   the "Woods Dress"( I call it that because the print looks like little slats of wood). 

The little boy's green coat just kills me!

(I want to recreate this look!)

Day 16: A Vintage Waistcoat and Mixing Texture with Pattern

 

What I find the most daring and attractive about winter look-books is when stylists blend thick textures and patterns. I thought I'd try my hand with one of my favorite wool jackets from the shop,  a vintage silk blouse, and a (very!) full plaid skirt.
