Jen is a new host for Style imitating art and her first choice was this brilliant Movemberish painting Colonel Frederick Gustavus Barnaby, painted by James Tissot in 1870.
I thought this painting was great fun and I loved the Colonel's dapper niform. Obviously, I took the colours as my inspiration though reversing the ratios with more red than black and tried two different jackets. I also couldn't resist taking the mickey out of the pose a bit!!
Outfit:
Red and black dress, black velvet jacket, black and red tartan jacket- all vintage thrifted/charity shop.
SHoes- Clarks.
Hat- hand-crocheted by Mum.
Once again, I am home hideously late from orchestra so this is a rather taciturn post for me. If anyone lives in Dulwich or in South London and has kids, come to my orchestra's annual kids' concert on Saturday. The programme includes Peter and the wolf and some other classics. There will be cake and tea and a chance to join in 'The drunken sailor'. Details on www.kco.org.uk (Thanks Ang, link is now corrected)
Hugs to ye xx
A fabulous interpretation! I'd forgotten about that fun challenge. x
