Very Harry Potter!!! Whilst I have owl earrings and an owl hat (not yet featured on the blog), I wanted to create an outfit that was fun but not obviously owlish and make use of the colour and patterns...
The first feature I obviously wanted to give attention to was the owls' feathers- white with black markings: I carried these with my Karen Millen cropped trousers which have a tiny black and white dog-tooth pattern, the Tescos leopard-print beret, African bracelet (gift from child) and then the snow-white shirt- aiming at the Snowy owl link- particularly the breast of the top owl. The trousers also have an interesting brown lace waistband which emulates the texture of the tree-trunk- the Clarks originals wedges also nodding to this. The picture is comprised of navy/dark/midnight blue sky which I attempted to pick out with my cardigan (M&S Indigo) and tights (Tescos), Finally, I couldn't help but think that my yellow licorice allsort earrings were a bit like yellow and black owl eyes, as modelled by Nimbus above. CBC said they looked stupid and didn't go but meh to him!
My Style imitating art posts always seem to feature attention-seeking animals- but neither of these belong to me!!!!! Both are CBC's- one I bought him for the first Christmas (that's Nimbus) and the other is Bloomsbury- who was given in honour of his MA graduation! Honestly, they steal the show.

| Mwa ha, new inside space to take photos! I tidied my mess out of CBC's study! |
I really enjoyed the fun of this week's art- I actually ironed this morning for church (scheduled post!) and wore items that I had not considered wearing together but I'd definitely wear this for school even if it's not the most stylish of outfits ever!! Head over to Jen's on Tuesday to see how everyone else interpreted it!
This post is scheduled because I am out at an orchestra rehearsal tonight. It's been a while since the last one. This time we are playing Mendelssohn's A midsummer night's dream in its entirety which is both exciting and scary- exciting because I've only ever played the overture with orchestra and I was the director for a production of this at music camp- my one and only outing as a director! I fell in love with the play and music- it is sumptuous and wonderfully written. Scary because amidst the gorgeous flutey delights, it features this famous flute solo:
GULP! What we flautists call 'double-tonguing' is not my favourite thing to do on the flute! especially with nowhere (rests) to breathe and a cough! Eeeek!

Love your beret and owl earring :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE OWLS!
ReplyDeleteThat's a tricky painting to interpret, you did really well. You look long and lean, love the beret! xxx
ReplyDeletehehe I love the owls! I think you've done this style challenge perfectly.
ReplyDeleteHope the rehearsal went well?
A great interpretation and those trousers look fab! x
ReplyDeleteBlimey, that's a heck of a piece to play, good luck with that (I know you can do it though!!!) x
ReplyDeletei love your sense of humor...you are both literal and creative with this imitation!!
ReplyDeleteKezzie! I love the owls in the tree. Thanks for the fun post and equally fun comments. "Truth in Posting" should have been the title of my post, huh?
ReplyDeleteLittle owl eye earrings! That is adorable. Such a clever and sweet look, dear. Your creativity and joy are both inspiring. And you mean to say that flute solo is in your future? Can a human mouth really do such things? I originally typed can a human "moth" do such things which is actually a much more interesting question. Writing the screenplay.....now! :)
ReplyDeletelove love love love love!!!!!!!!! everything about your outfit! everything about owls! LOVE.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely outfit on you! I like the pants and the blue sweater.
ReplyDeleteI really like this outfit.The blue really goes well.
