Style Imitating Art- Anne Ryan Number 453

Hello!

Thanks for your kind appreciation of my cards. 

Today, I am taking a little break from TARDIS Tuesday, I will resume next week.

Today, I am sharing an outfit for Style Imitating Art.

Daenel chose this piece called Number 453.

You can see the details above of this piece by Anne Ryan.

Being made of fabrics, it has a wonderful texture!  It has obvious colours but I struggled to think if I actually had any of these colours.

Then I thought of this rainbow checked skirt I have with a grainy texture. The colours aren't right but it's the general effect. A Chambray denim skirt matches the background blue colour- both items are charity shopped.

I picked out the navy blue from the egg patchwork in my leggings from eco-brand Thought and added these new sandals from Lotus which I bought second-hand on eBay which have an interesting beaded pattern which could be said to resemble a patchwork in a sense and perhaps pick out that browny shade.

 I WISH I still had the sandals in THIS post as they are made of textured patchwork fabric! What happened to them?

I added some Esoteric London wood and leather earrings because the wood and the silver colour seem to be present in the patchwork.

I am aware that I probably should have ironed this but since I was wearing it for a day working at home, there seemed no point. I rarely iron anything so why change the habit of a lifetime?

Head over to Daenel's at some point tomorrow to see how everyone else interpreted it.
