From Wares to Wear: Make this Painting into an Outfit

When I came across this panting by Paul X. Johnson a couple weeks ago I immediately knew that I wanted to use it as inspiration for a Wares to Wear post. I just love the vintage-esque feel of the piece...the deep plum lips, smoky hues, and the overall mood. It took me a while to put together, but I'm happy with the way the translation came out. For a dressier version just pop on some classic pumps and you're good to go.

Color Crush: Another Look At Fall Colors

My first look at Fall post last week found me going gaga for a bright palette of reds, teals and peaches. Today I'm on another color bent, but clearly in a different and darker direction. Which palette do you prefer? Dark and spicy or bright and crisp? xo Ez

From Wares to Wear: Make this Party into an Outfit

Last week I had fun challenging myself to translate a pillow into a wearable outfit, so I thought I'd give it another go today...this time using a gorgeous photograph as my inspiration. There are so many directions you can go when taking inspiration from a non-fashion item that it can be a little overwhelming, but when I spotted this Asymmetrical Tank Top while out shopping yesterday, I knew that it would be the perfect starting point. After that, everything just seemed to fall into place (phew). What do you think? Do you have any non-fashion favorites that you'd like to see turned into an outfit? I loved the links you shared with me last week and I'd love to see more. xo Ez
