You do have that 40s casual chic vibe of Bogey and Bacall. And holy moly, look at that snow! Hope you had a nice snow day.

I think that really translates well to the texture in the art...

Before DH started shovelling, the snow was more than halfway up the door frame. Needless to say, spring can't come soon enough to suit me!

The dusty blues and greys with the addition of taupe are perfect, and you look very gentlewomanly indeed. How fitting for a quiet, snowy day, reading and watching Netflix!  L'Abeille on "My first Picasso challenge (Gentlewoman does a snow day)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-picasso-challenge-gentlewoman-does-a-snow-day#post-1456990 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:22:33 +0000 L'Abeille 1456990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I started a day early because Sunday was a snow day -- over 45 cm and everything cancelled! So I took it as a chance to do an outfit that wouldn't fly for work or church. Despite my love of neutrals I found this painting the most challenging to match --- I guess all my grey /black /taupe items are bottoms... Then I remembered these pants, recently thrifted because they are SO much comfortable than jeans (no idea what to call this style. Mom jeans? They are Lees). The close-up shows the colour blend. On top, blue pinstripes to bring in the blue of the background. To add in the warmer neutral tones I wore a brown woven leather belt and (not visible) taupe socks and hair clip. And my grey house slippers, because this was a day for Netflix and reading by the fire. In the pics I look pretty scruffy (gentlewoman at home?) but I felt kind of like Lauren Bacall with the sleeves pushed up. And then my Bogey suggested we watch To Have and Have Not... Thanks for following my ramblings. I hear the plough. Maybe I'll append some Blizzard Aftermath photos.
