a little jackson pollock

i've been thinking for a few months now that to sort of do something a little different with outfit posts, maybe i'd try to wear outfits that were inspired by certain works of art.  i have yet to put together a collection of inspiration pictures, but just so you know, that's what i've been thinking!  although this outfit wasn't inspired by an artist or an artist's work, the only thing i can think when i look at this skirt is, "jackson pollock."





























shirt: h&m // skirt: vintage via trade with your friendly grocery // shoes: aldo // necklace: vintage, thrifted // bracelets: vintage and SF street vendor // kona: humane society of amherst county

so how was your weekend?  fun and relaxing, i hope!  mine was great.  i worked on some new art that i'll share later this week, i got to experience rain again (finally), and i made a quiche.  i actually hate quiche, although this one wasn't so awfully bad, but chris loves it, and that's what i call love.

    Yes, love really is cooking things you don't like. I really like this skirt. It looks fun and flowy. Jackson Pollock was one talented douchebag.
    I didn't leave the house all weekend. It kind of sucked, but whatever. I'm going to a movie and dinner today! Yay, Monday? lol

    That's a fabulous skirt! You don't like quiche?! Are you sure? Quiche is so good! Well, I guess it depends what's in it... I mostly just love quiche lorraine. What kind do you make?

    You just have the cutest shoes ever! It was not surprising to see that they were aldo shoes once again. I really need to go to aldo and get me a pair of nice dressy shoes to wear with skirts and dresses.

    Yep, it's totally a Jackson Pollock skirt! I love when bloggers put together outfits based on works of art - that would be a fun series to follow.
