Style imitating Art outfit the Tiffany roof

When you think of Tiffany Lamps or the such-like, what immediately comes to mind.

Bizarrely, the comedy duo, Hale and Pace comes to my mind when I think of Tiffany lamps. The first time I heard the term was in some programme when I was a teenager in which Hale and Pace were challenged to design their own Catwalk couture collection.  They took inspiration from Tiffany lamps with the buttons they chose to adorn their pin-striped ladies' suits. They were Tiffany-like in their make-up. They also embroidered squiggles on their lapels. The suit came in red and black. Funny what you remember eh?

Anyway, this neatly (or not so neatly) segues me into this week's Style Imitating Art with new host Erin.  She chose this exquisite roof from the library of the Chicago Cultural Centre in celebration of National Library week in the U.S.

It is beautiful!!!


I decided to start with the criss-cross pattern as my basis and wore this dress (bought in Nottinghill in October for my Clara Oswald 'Under the Lake' cosplay') which sort of had the pattern in reverse.

 I added the red cardie and shoes as a nod to the colour in the second picture.

 And took the cardie off for to represent the picture where the red wasn't obvious.

The final touch was this vintage brooch (charity-shopped last April)  which I really felt represented that central intricate decoration.

How would you have interpreted this?
