This week, for Style Imitating Art, Salazar chose a piece of knitwear for the inspiration:

| Elsa Schiaparelli’s sweater |
As soon as I saw this, it reminded me of a sweater from Joanie Clothing from a previous collection.
It also reminded me of the Cashmere sweater I wore on Christmas day.

Alas, I had put away the sweater for summer into my big yellow suitcase so it wasn't an option for my outfit this time but I thought I could very easily make an outfit out of something else.
And here it is:
I started with this black top with a crochet Peterpan collar from Peacocks which I think I've had since about 2010 for obvious reasons because of its black top with white collar link.
On my bottom half, I decided to add my Kew Broderie Anglaise skirt (£1 from the Clearance Charity shop warehouse) to stick to a mainly black outfit.
Because it wasn't the warmest day, I added a charity-shopped Peacocks cardigan
The final elements were my earrings which I bought from a Church Christmas fair at Ilford Hospital Chapel about 15 years ago- I'm not sure what they are made out of but they have a lovely lustre.
In terms of shoes, I decided to wear my Bleyer dance shoes which I wear for Swing Dancing as the style is a nice vintage style to complete the look
I had a look through my phone and I found only this picture from Christmas, featuring my Cashmere sweater with a bow!
You clever thing, that's a brilliant interpretation of the Schiaparelli jumper.That Kew skirt is gorgeous, don't they do some lovly things? xxx
ReplyDeleteVery clever interpretation of the sweater, Kezzie! Schiaparelli's sweater is one of the first trompe-l'oeil clothing items from a designer - it's all about fooling the eye! I adore your shoes! Those remind me so much of my first pair of Fluevogs.
ReplyDeleteI love those shoes...
ReplyDeleteThis is a very clever interpretation. I thought you were wearing a dress until I read the text. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteThe Elsa Schiaparelli's knitwear is absolutely amazing, and your Christmas jumper is indeed a deadringer for it.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your Summer interpretation, and those shoes are gorgeous! xxx
Kezzie, this outfit is so fun! I love how you combined all of these wonderful elements with the eyelet skirt and the lace collar and your amazing dance shoes! Your cashmere bow sweater is so beautiful, too!
