You might recall that, on Friday, I abandoned my orignally-planned Acrobat outfit idea for a more symphony-appropriate version. I liked the original idea though, so I am wearing it today instead. This one is more literal with the colors and lines.
The aspects of the painting I am focusing on today are:
- The long, sinuous white lines of the figure.
- The colors - shades of purple and white.
- The idea of the Acrobat as stretchy and sporty (thanks to Kiwigal for the idea!).
Apparently all my Acrobats are animals. On Friday, it was snakes, and today it's zebras. I thought the stripes on the zebra tee were very reminiscent of the lines of the Acrobat. I paired that with my handknit lilac sweater jacket for the purple shade; the cables on the sweater are also long and sinuous and curving. My taupe boots are another echo of the lighter shades in the painting and match the zebra stripes (interestingly enough, I am not actually wearing any true white.) For the sporty/stretchy aspect, I went with my faux skirted leggings look with my sweatshirt-material skirt over black leggings.
Bonus silly attempt at an Acrobat pose.
