OTT Leopard Remix Outfit

Okay, this outfit with leopard elements teamed with my lipstick pink jeans and denim duster is only meant to tide me over until my recently purchased LEOPARD COAT arrives...

This leopard print skirt will also do the trick...

Or perhaps this leopard slinky top...

and definitely this pair of leopard diva sandals, worn with toe socks for autumn of course, until I find the ultimate pair of leopard booties or oxfords that is...
Stay tuned for the leopard coat, on its way from clear across the country and hopefully already in transit...

Found: Leopard Hoodie for 1/2 off!

Well, I went with an objective to find "animal prints" and scored this gorgeous - in great condition - leopard print hoodie at a Metro Atlanta OTP (outside the perimeter, for new arrivals and non-locals!) thrift store. Best part is that it was half off and ended up costing only $2.50! Yes, I'm feeling pretty smug about it too. But I just had to share... hehe...

The leopard hoodie must be worn with either hot pink or red, of course... ;-D
 like this coral pink and red roses necklace...
and of course this tortoise shell link necklace...

Fashion inspired by Gustav Klimt?

I was thrifting at a metro Atlanta thrift store and luckily scored this lovely, ultra feminine, jacket top in a chiffon type material inspired by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt and in particular his lovely paintings Tree of Life and The Kiss.
 here are the front...
and the back of this fluttery open blouse. Gorgeous isn't it?
and I'm loving how well it teams with a pale mint green camisole and a bronze necklace that looks straight out of one of Klimt's paintings, perhaps worn by Isis herself!
Isis by Gustav Klimt
Klimt's Tree of Life
and his famous painting The Kiss...
Here's my 2008 acrylic on canvas rendition of Klimt in His Garden. Let me know if any of you have found Klimt inspired pieces out there. I'd love to know!

Pink Missoni Style Knit Top

When I go thrifting, I’m always on the lookout for some interesting zig zag patterned knits or perhaps a wave pattern.

I was however able to find a raspberry pink knit top with three-quarter sleeves and a scoop neck. The other three I put back because they had far too many unfixable threads that were pulled.

This pink Missoni style knit top looks predominantly pink and maroon but it actually pretty much has all the colors of the rainbow.

On close inspection, you can see yellow, French blue, seafoam green, brown, cream, red, at least three different shades of pink, gold thread and probably other colors…

How appropriate that with pink being the color for October, I was able to find this lovely top in shades of pink!

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I believe this little gem of a find was also fifty per cent off that day – twice the blessing!
