So a year ago I started seasonal work at the art museum.
I did an inventory of my clothes closet!
It was time to come out of fashion hibernation!
Rita Rita Fashion-ita, Hahahaha!
In my Daily Journal I periodically document what I wore
on the previous day.The Fashion Report, Hahahaha.
The quick tiny drawings remind me
of my 7th grade fashion drawings,
inspired by Simplicity Pattern envelope illustrations.
In 7th grade I decided I was going to be a fashion designer
when I grew up. Hahahaha.
I loved the whole mix & match thing & still do.
I'm having fun gathering
a few of my "museum costume" sketches.
Do we see a theme here??
Guess how many scarves I have in the
blue-turquoise-teal-aqua range?
(Answer in next post.)
If no scarf then one must at lease wear a turquoise shirt!
In high school I decided that my interest in fashion
was "shallow".
It is true that my brain had other things to work on.
College days: Work boots & flannel shirts.
More brain & social stuff to work on.
In this semi-retirement museum employee stage,
It's fun to "curate" my clothes collection.
Maybe it's still shallow, but, shrug, it is pleasurable.
Our museum visitors, who are in a visually receptive
state of consciousness, appreciate my efforts.
"Oooooh, your colors!" the women exclaim.
Ha ha. I love this. I am always looking for something to draw (I am no good at scenery). It is a good idea to add to a travel journal as well I think....
ReplyDeleteCute blog post!! Love your blue-aqua-turquoise-teal color schemes and scarves....
ReplyDeleteIf it's turquoise, it must be Rita!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could do this. Every now and then I put an outfit together that looks reasonably good. When I want to wear it again I can't remember what exactly I'd assembled that day. If I documented my outfits as you do that would be so much easier. As for how many blue-aqua-turquoise-teal color scarves you have...I'm guessing somewhere around 12-15. How do you organize and store them between wearings? And btw, you always look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love your curated sketches! They make me smile. And I'm so with you on the turquoise/aqua/teal. If I didn't have that and black in my closet, I'd have a much cleaner closet! That's funny you mentioned the 7th grade design. I learned how to draw by copying fashion ads from the newspaper and then making up my own colors and details! You'd never know I even cared if you looked in my closet today! I love retirement!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love skirts w/ leggings..I love all things linen..I love big neckalces and many bracelets.
ReplyDeleteAlthough to see me in my gardens..you would not know it.My style is dirt.;)
I don't wear color enough.
I think you have 7.
Fun post . . .
ReplyDeleteYou give me ideas . . ,
Love the scarves . . . me too, they change things up and
a whole new outfit appears!
I do see a turquoise, bluish, aqua, teal, theme running through here . . .
Bet your eyes are blue . . .
I did not even have to read much of your post before I knew the colors you like. Fun!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me smile! I love those colors, too-perfect for an art museum.
