From Wares to Wear: Make this Painting into an Outfit
I cannot stop staring at this exquisite Blue Owl painting by artist Michelle Morin of Unitedthread (this original painting is mind-boggling too - actually all of her work is) so I decided the next best thing to owning it (which I might still need to do) would be to use it to inspire a wares to wear post. Woohoo!
I imagine this to be the perfect outfit for an evening out (ideal for a night owl - harhar). To keep things from looking too stiff, I'd wear the blouse with the sleeves partially rolled up (I might even cuff the pants), would slip the gold bangles on my wrist, and would then finish the whole look off with some jet black mascara and sheer gloss on my lips. What do you think? Do you have a favorite painting or home decor item that you'd love to see made into an outfit? I'd love to see! You can find my first two Wares to Wear posts. xo Ez

The incredible colors and details of this print are amazing. I wish I could wear that piece of art.
Yayy! You found the artist! Loved this owl when I saw it some time ago but could never hunt down the original source. Loving the outfit too that coordinates ;)
I'm so in love with this painting, and the outfit! Great job, it's fantastic!! xoxo
Ez, you are so creative! I just love how you create an outfit out of random objects. :)

Wow that owl print is stunning! I love this palette you have created as well, so nice for Autumn!
i bought one of those rosebud salves over the weekend (mainly because of the exquisite packaging!).
anyhow, you have a wonderful eye for color, ez. the wardrobe you put together matches hue for hue!
love it! and that tealish color has been my new favorite lately!
Love the golden bangles - teal is going to be a hit this fall!
The painting technique on the owl is so interesting, I love all different treatments on the feathers.
That shirt needs to be in my closet ASAP... and I love that perfect little clutch!
I love this post- such an inspired way to think about getting dressed. I have written a post about it on my blog with a couple of my own ideas. Hope you enjoy! x
