The other day when I changed the comments filter so anyone could write in, I received this gorgeous paragraph:
I'm pretty sure I want to my thrift shop experience to be inspired by a bowl of Gazpacho soup. Natural fresh ingredients, fresh bright colors and flavors blended harmoniously. Solid foundation/shoes/bag of gorgeous slices of pale golden bread. Oh, and can’t forget the arm candy of a drizzle of olive green oil and fresh cracked pepper.
So, RobinG, this post is especially for you. I wore this outfit to the Bellevue Arts Museum the other night because the invitation said to wear "bright colors." Gazpacho inspiration! Newly thrifted and laundered cotton dress = fresh ingredients. Black studded bracelet = fresh cracked pepper, ivory and neon bracelets = olive oil.
Bon appetit!
Daily Details:
- weather: so freaking hot!
- cotton dress, $1 at Frenzi summer sale
- yellow bag, approximate current cost per wear (accpw) $20
- studded sandals, accpw $8
- arrow necklace, accpw $20
- arm party: old, gift, gift, old, watch
I love the color of the dress. Looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to gain inspiration when getting dressed! Food! Two of my favorite things - food and clothes, lol. Your sandals were a steal for $8. Love this whole look. Heather
ReplyDeletethat yellow bag is a marc by marc jacobs isn't it? maybe? i could be wrong - but the grommets and looking closer i'm fairly sure because i have a bag from the same collection and it's a favorite of mine. i love everytime you style this yellow bag - and you know this dress is SO pretty on you. you look absolutely perfect in these colors. and i love how this is inspired by gazpacho - so creative!

DeleteYou look yummy enough to eat! I'm smacking my lips over here, can you hear me?
ReplyDeleteCute post, I love the comparison with the food. Gazpacho is great for hangovers too. Maybe with this outfit on you can really tie one on tonight and wake up just fine. ;)
