First of all, I want to say hello!! You haven’t heard from me before, but I am a new contributing writer and thrilled to be joining such a fabulous staff and all of you on our journey through life, fashion and the other thing we love!
I must confess, I feel very at home when I visit my family in New York and New Jersey. I was flipping through some pictures from a visit two years ago, and saw that I only took one picture while at The Met. It was “Olive Trees” by Vincent Van Gogh. I am a huge fan of Impressionist, such as Van Gogh. The fluidity and color palette of this painting really struck a chord with me. I remember it well! I was so entranced by this one work that it cancelled out all the other marvelous works of art in the room!
I’ve now been re-inspired by this painting, as I look back at it. I can’t help but see so many parallels in fashion today. Whether it’s simply the colors or the construction, here are some pieces that remind me of one of favorite paintings.
I absolutely love these finds, especially the dresses! I would consider myself a “dress girl” considering they are what I wear most of the time. The outfits I found that best show the gorgeous colors and texture of “Olive Trees” are following:
Lastly, I leave you with my final and favorite pick. This is a serious piece of jewelry. A bold statement, and in fact, quite like wearing art. It’s the Alexis Bittar “Modern Georgian Cuff” The color and cut of the stones are beautiful. This is a great statement piece that truly speaks for itself - all you have to do is wave or pretend you’re fixing your hair!
That wraps up my Van Gogh inspired picks. I think, if we clothes ourselves with confidence and the right look, fashion really is noticed as art.
Tell me: What do you think?
