I will repost this challenge now and do it! </p> <p>I love this! It shows how simple it can be to take inspiration from a painting. Lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-rather-accidentally-inspired-by-art#post-170738 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:27:06 +0000 Anonymous 170738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The way you used the colors was especially nice. Coral and turquoise is a fresh combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-rather-accidentally-inspired-by-art#post-170733 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 14:18:00 +0000 Lisa 170733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did a nice job picking up on all the colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-rather-accidentally-inspired-by-art#post-170714 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 12:34:53 +0000 Itari 170714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

Today I was helping mum put up her Toulouse Lautrec prints again. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a French painter most famous for his paintings of the Moulin Rouge and other Parisian nightlife during the late 19th Century.</p> <p>I noticed while we were hanging the prints that the outfit I'd picked for today used some of the colours in his painting of Madamoiselle Marcelle Lender, a French singer, dancer and entertainer of the time. I made a couple of tweaks including adding a dark blue necklace to pick up on the navy accents in the picture and felt overall pleased with the result!</p> <p>I cuffed my skinny jeans for a bit of interest. I know it probably makes them shorter than "perfect pants length" but I think it looks ok...what do you think? I wanted to show off the ankle straps on the shoes I picked up at an op shop last week :-P</p> <p>I decided to do something different with the flower and wear it in my hair...in the spirit of Madamoiselle Marcelle Lender ;-)</p> <p>Turquoise sweater: Rivers (St Vincent de Paul store)<br /> Blue skinny jeans: Valley Girl<br /> Black pointy pumps: Brand unknown (St Vincent de Paul store)<br /> Coral flower pin: craft store<br /> Coral bangle: Target (Australia)<br /> Pearl cockatil ring: Target (Australia)<br /> Blue chandelier necklace: Diva</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/116867860990752292953/WIWFashionAccidentallyInspiredByArtMadamoiselleMarcelleLenderByHenriDToulouseLautrec?authkey=Gv1sRgCOWJ_8OGgf2VwgE#slideshow/5482482032280881330" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/11.....2280881330</a></p> <p>It would be really fun if you posted your own outfits inspired by art! :-)<br /> Comments welcome :-)</p> <p>:-) </p>
