Evening peoples!
I'm doing that procrastinating thing again where I know I have loads of blog post to write up but they are the really arduous ones, so I keep putting it off (April book reads I'm looking at you. And May Book reads. And Doctor Who Exhibition). Therefore, since I clearly don't want to be writing those posts, I am instead
This week's Style Imitating Art inspiration came from a painting by Marc Chagall's 1944 painting, Coq Rouge dans la Nuit.

The thing that hit me (and I am sure you too) first was the beautiful Cobalt or TARDIS blue, to give it its appropriate name on my blog. I have several items of clothing in this beautiful shade. However, this Dorothy Perkins dress I own, with its bird and foliage print seemed perfect as it seemed to reflect the inclusion of different beings and objects on top of the colour. The Monsoon cardie may seem a bit too matchy-matchy but I rather like the all encompassing colour going on here.
The goat-playing a cello (I'm going with cello rather than violin despite there not being a spike!) was easy to represent with my violin brooch from my penpal Lucy. I don't have a Red cockerel brooch so I substituted it for a red bird brooch which was a freebie from Ladybird likes.
You may notice the girl has red heart on her attire so I added my elasticated belt with a heart clasp. Finally, just a touch more red with my slingback shoes since it is the colour of the Title character!
Not a bad representation of it, methinks!
Head over to Jen's blog to see how everyone else interpreted it!
How would YOU have interpreted this!??!

Hi Kezzie! I love that little bird!

Great outfit, you look lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think it's an excellent outfit. The colour really suits you too. Hope that you had a lovely half-term holiday. Jx
ReplyDeleteWell done Kezzie. You never cease to amaze me with how you can put an outfit together to imitate a painting. So lovely and I don't think the cardigan is too matchy-matchy. It looks lovely on you and I love the length of the dress. very classy.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.
Smiles & hugs,
Julia
I love when you do these kind of posts. You bring together two things that I dearly love: fashion and art. I do like that blue dress on you. Perfect styling...and that belt is the perfect accessory. You look beautiful.

That's a brilliant homage to the rather groovy art! The dress is a fab colour and the brooches are crazy! xxx
ReplyDeleteI really like Marc Chagall's work, this piece particularly. You've interpreted it beautifully! I love the little heart at your waist and how you've used brooches to mimic painting. Perfect!
