Chic for Cheap: An Art Inspired Look

This week Melissa and I decided to create outfits inspired by art found on etsy (like we did a couple of weeks ago).

As soon as I spotted this painting by Tali (tushtush) I knew I wanted to create my look around it.  Instead of taking it literally with colors, patterns, etc... I decided to translate the feeling of the painting into an outfit.

I know I'm breaking the cardinal rule of fashion by mixing brown and black, but hey... rules are meant to be broken, right!  Hopefully I won't get a ticket from the fashion police.

The Inspiration: Rima - original drawing by Tushtush The Look: Giselle Ikat Cami at Delia's | Drew Braided Waist Belt in brown at Forever 21 | Handmade Cotton High-waisted Skirt with Pockets by Babooshka | Mossimo Vella Lace-up Pumps at Target | Beaded Hoop Earrings in black/gold at Forever 21

Brown and black are meant for each other - and I adore the elements of this outfit.

I've been wearing a lot of black and brown recently and love the color combination. No rules!

I applaud you for combining brown and black together-I happen to think they can look great together and always thought that was a silly fashion rule anyway ;)
