SIA French lady in electric blue


In the last Style imitating art with Salazar at 14 shades of grey, we were looking at Egon Schiele’s “Portrait of Elisabeth Lederer”:

My first thoughts were that I loved the line drawing and simple colour of this- the image was simple and pretty without being over the top.  
Though I could have gone with a similar blouse, I decided to work with the colours and wore the Monsoon dress I wore for IM Monday recently with the electric blue peep-toe shoes and add the electric blue pashmina I found in a charity shop with a red bracelet to show the pop of colour her lips provide.

Keep it simple, keep it simple.

  2. This is perfection! And that blue is electrifying! You managed to do red, white and blue without looking patriotic and costume-y. J'adore!

  4. You're seriously the perfect English lady. Everything that I imagined as an American teeny bopper in the 80s watching Mildred Hubble in The Worst Witch is witnessed in your lovely posts. <3
