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
