| Monmon Cats painting of Kuazaki Horitomo. |
Greetings!
Hope you are well!
All is fine here. I have returned from a delightful weekend at my Dad's. SO wonderful to spend time with him and my family, particularly lovely to have lots of time with him! He's so patient and kind, he inspires me!
As they dropped me back at the station, I found one of those old pianos you can play in the station and I sat playing tunes at it for 5 minutes. I played a song called 'Refiner's fire' or Purify my heart by Brian Doerkssen which I know from church and a minute or so later, one of the workers at that station came up to me and smiled and asked if I was playing 'Refiner's fire' - it made her happy to hear it. I departed on that train with a smile on my face.
Today, here is my outfit for the Style Imitating Art challenge with Salazar
Of course, when I saw that the picture featured a white cat with some black features, it was a no-brainer that I wear my Miss Patina cat collar blouse (errrrr, one of my 4 Miss Patina cat blouses...)
I decided to pair it with this black and white stripy River Island pinafore dress
As I added my home-made shrink-plastic cat brooch (which I originally made for a Doctor Who cosplay), I felt that I was missing a splash of colour so I decided to add this red lady tie under the cat collar for a pop of colour and I'd already got on my red slingback pumps.Had it been a colder day, I might have added grey tights and I was going to wear my Erstwilder message in a bottle brooch as an allusion to the bottles in the background but forgot in the end. Never mind, I was pleased with my look anyway.
How might you have interpreted this painting as an outfit? Leave a comment and tell me what you'd wear from your wardrobe! And head over to Salazar for tomorrow's Round-up to see what everyone else did!

Your outfit is excellent, Kezzie!! Love it! I see that you and Salazar had a similar idea for this SIA. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I think you did purrrfect Kezzie. Again the background is also perfect.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julia
That's utterly fabulous both the original art and your interpretation.
ReplyDeleteWho isn't inspired by cats?! xxx
That picture is cute and your outfit is completely PERFECT! (Purrrfect?). I don't think I would have the imagination to pull this off the way you did (plus I don't think I own anything stripy - I avoid horizontal stripes because they make my hips look even wider).
ReplyDeleteI love the red tie touch. Totally original and yet also referencing the picture.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you made someone happy with your piano playing.

How cute is that outfit, and the red tie is such a nice touch, providing a real colour pop! xxx
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely time with your Dad. I hope you enjoy the rest of the holiday. Great outfit! Jx
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I love your art-inspired outfits.
ReplyDeleteHearing someone play piano at work would make the day so much nicer. The worker probably smiled all day after she heard you.
I think this is my favourite outfit of yours ever! x
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute outfit, my three favourite colours xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous outfit but then that is my favourite of your blouses. Love the original painting too. x
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect! I don't think I have much in my wardrobe to do it justice, I have a stripe jacket that I could've added a red flower brooch to.
ReplyDeleteInspired choice of cat collar!
ReplyDeleteLove the pop of red.

Your interpretation of this painting is brilliant. I absolutely love how you styled this striped dress, layering a shirt under it was a lovely idea...and actually that I what I'm wearing right now...a white shirt and a dress over it:). The cat collar is such a nice touch....and it evoked the painting perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet how you played that song on that piano and put a smile on some lady's face...sometimes little moments like that are the ones that stay with us forever.
