A very lateral interpretation today. I had an entirely different outfit planned for the Acrobat, but we got last-minute tickets to the symphony and that outfit would have been inappropriate. Plus I can't miss an opportunity to dress up! I will do the originally planned Acrobat outfit on the weekend or Monday instead, so I guess you'll get six instead of five Picasso outfits.
For today's symphony-appropriate outfit, I focused on:
- The long, sinuous lines both of the painting itself and the idea of the acrobat.
- The pop of white.
So what is long, slinky, and sinuous? Snakes, of course! So I am wearing my snake print sweater dress. It's also form-fitting and stretchy, which fits with the idea of the acrobat. I also echoed the slinky lines in my silver rings - a snaky squiggle and a Möbius strip. The long vest, black tights, and black boots create a long line in keeping with the Acrobat's long limbs. Finally, I added the pop of white with a cream infinity scarf; the long loop shape also suggests the Acrobat's curves. I like the idea of infinity (both in the scarf and in the Möbius ring) here too. The scarf also makes this outfit more casual and more appropriate for work; I may remove it for the evening activities, although I'm not sure. Honestly it may depend on how cold it is. It is supposed to snow tonight! Happy first day of spring?
