It was Style imitating Art with Jess at Animated Cardigan blog. The inspiration was Pink Bow by Jeff Koons This painting is apparently a HUGE canvas! It's er- very bright!
We all felt challenged this week by the colours of this one! I am not the biggest pink fan though I do have quite a few items in my wardrobe is seems which at least have pink accents!
The outfit started from the hat! This was a charity-shop purchase around 5 years ago when my Mum got married. She declared that we all must wear hats (her daughters at least!) and in the search for a hat, I somehow ended up with 5!!! All but 2 were charity-shop bought!
I then added the skirt, then top, then belt and then scarf in that order. It was a case of mostly, "Oh look, that's got a bit of pink on it, let's throw them together!" The sequined shoes were a nod to the metallic gold. If I were thinking harder, I could have worn gold sandals though it wasn't THAT warm!!!
I'm scheduling this one but tonight, I planted a whole load of wildflower seeds for my wedding. I say planted: I raked, watered and sprinkled! Here's hoping that they germinate and grow in time for the wedding. We thought wild flowers would be lovely, particularly as my favourite flower is the humble ox-eye daisy and CBC loves poppies! Much as I love the birds in the garden, WOE BETIDE their eating them! Please don't eat them!!!
You look splendid in pink, you should wear it more!
ReplyDeleteThe Guardian rated these the other day, something to think about if those pesky birds eat your seeds:

ReplyDeletei love that hat xxx
ReplyDeleteyou look a picture Kezzie! I love the idea of growing wildflowers for your wedding, a lovely thought x
ReplyDeleteWild flowers for your wedding sound brilliant :) I am not at all surprised one hat turned into 5, Kezzie- you're definitely the most prepared person I know in the millinery department :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI love the skirt. I'm not a huge pink fan either, but I really like the accents in this outfit - perfect for Springtime. Also, please do not let me forget to write to you! I think I have your address, but would you be able to send it to me again? - Tasha x
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfit. The hat is amazing.
ReplyDeleteLoving the hat, only one person wore a hat to our wedding. Unfortunately hats at weddings isnt that big in Australia. I cant wait to see your wild flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of growing your flowers : )
ReplyDeleteI love pink but have to admit to not owning very much in my wardrobe, think I'd have struggled a bit.
oooh wildflower bouquet and centrepieces? really lovely! If there are "seed bomb" workshops or places to buy these near you, definitely get some, they have chilli in to stop the birds eating the seeds. apparently...
ReplyDeleteyou look great in pink... buy more pink!!
