Patti is in New York so Visible Monday is all in my head. And in a cage of wood and wire.
Details: Marni sundress, thrifted; teal tights, sample sale; wood/leather platform sandals, Michael Kors, thrifted; graphic turtleneck, thrifted; magic pendant and magic loupe, made for me by O; wool shawl, retail long ago.
I hope you are all having a Monday that makes you feel visible too.
Just as a reminder, only four days until the VOGOFF submission deadline...
I adore your Marni dress, what a thrifty find! And that raaaarrrr photograph is fantastic you wild woman you!
ReplyDeleteDarling, you are divine encaged thus. You are always visible to me. xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to take photos - I was imagining its some kind of animal facility! Your outfit is lovely today, as always, I am impressed with how you wear patterns. I would never think of wearing a sun dress with a turtle neck. Just read about your boot do-up - they are gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou are so inventive! These photos have a wonderful graphic quality. I had a visible Monday. A panhandler called me a pretty lady, LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun look. I love the RAWR picture and the fabulous cowl.
ReplyDeleteI'm also highly interest in where you are! Such an interesting place.
I really relate to photo #2.
ReplyDeleteThis is not my favorite national holiday.
Photo #3 reminds me that the worst day can be redeemable.
Beyond the story, that's a great dress! The tights and little shoes are perfect with it.
Thanks for the mid-evening pick-me-up!
Have a great week, Mel.
Hee, I haven't seen storage lockers like that in a long time!
ReplyDeleteLove your tights and your very fierce expression!
Doubt I'll make the VogueOff. What is the setting here? Little sauna stalls?
ReplyDeleteyou look so wicked awesome in your cage! Nothing can hold you back!
ReplyDeleteHere I was looking at the first picture thinking, Oh, Melanie looks so sweet in teal tights and pretty shoes and a dress. Nothing overly weird, just pretty. Then you turn into a raging Mick Jagger ("When the whip comes down!") and completely blew the first image. Then Mother Teresa. I am so confused.
ReplyDeleteOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are DIVOON!
Rawr, nothing like feeling caged in to heat up the blood! I don't think it's gonna hold you, I think you're gonna BLOW!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Not everyone can manage an open mouthed rawr and still look glamorous. You pulled it off! Or maybe I was influenced by the classic pretty-ness of #1. It doesn't matter, because clearly you achieved sainthood by #3. In a cage, no less!
ReplyDeleteWake Up Sue! Okay, I'm paying attention Melanie...you really did have my at the first photo. I love how you've worked photo magic in the bowels of your apartment building. Quite loving your outfit today too. The tights picking up the the turquoise in the sundress...which is gorgeous by the way...and the play of print between the t-neck and the dress. Well done.
ReplyDeleteSue xo
Grrr! Your frustration is palpable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous frock, made even cuter with you inside it! x
When I see the shape of your clothes and your pose in the first image I think of when Shalom Harlow were spray painted by Alexander McQueen.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! Your blue tights just make the pictures pop.
ReplyDeleteblue hue wonderland
You, my gorgeous friend, are forever and always Visible! Love this dress. Xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteYou're so fierce! Lovely colours and patterns.
ReplyDeleteThis are my favorite pictures of you... the locatios is incredible... and the outfit uff... love it... big hug
ReplyDeleteYou are a style maven angel. And very very visible.
ReplyDeleteYou could never be invisible in all your fabulosity!
ReplyDeleteHi Mélanie!

I can't get over the amazing designer stuff you find at thrift stores! Why am I reminded of the film "The Three Faces of Eve" by this post ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Marni sundress with the graphic turtleneck is a brilliant idea. What a great way to wear a sundress and the pattern mixing is perfection. Very visible, though Patti is dearly missed.
ReplyDeleteOh those leggings with the shoes are perfect match!!
ReplyDeleteOh those leggings with the shoes are perfect match!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous outfit, the Marni dress is to die for, I love that fabulous print...xXx
ReplyDeleteVisible and amazing......
ReplyDeleteTeal leggings....inspired.
love V
delightfully printed dress and bold color tights are always a good idea, but you're über fabulous!!, posing like a saint or like a wild girl, you're adorable!
ReplyDeleteI would try to take any vogoffable photo, even though weather is not collaborating anyway!
besos
I like the layering and print mixing!
ReplyDeleteRaaaoor! The charcoal wap looks cosy. I miss Patti too, but yes, you are definitely flying the flag for Visible. Good work xx
ReplyDeleteI couldn't possibly pick a favorite they all feel right. You are devastated, pissed off and contemplative but I really wanna know what's locked up in those woodne gates??!!??
ReplyDeletexxoo
melanie, i love your outfit and lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteYou'll never be caged, Melanie, and you'll always be visible!
ReplyDeleteFabulous mix of prints, and I like the range of Melanies on show here - top model, fierce fighter, and beautific saint! xxxx
Super cool photo locale with a super fierce goddess laughing at the very idea any cage could hold her.
ReplyDeleteGood things come to those who thrift!!! But it helps if you know how to pull it all together, as you so clearly do. The colors here knock me out, as well as the proportions. xxxxxoooooo
ReplyDeleteIf you were alone in a wood forest with no Visible Monday...would you still be visible? Absolutely.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo with the shawl.
Your dress and turtleneck were made for each other. I love that first photo. Amaze.
ReplyDeleteYour really lovely comments on my blog somehow got flagged as spam :-(
ReplyDeleteI've seen to it that your feedback will appear from this point forward - sorry!
I can't say enough good things about this look! I own teal tights, too and I'm crazy about them in combination with the sundress and the pattern mixing is sublime. The fact that the majority of the items are thrifted makes it even more impressive!

Blimey! You remind me of Twiggy!!
ReplyDeleteOoh I LOVE the first pic so much... and then I see the second pic and I LOVE it even more... the pattern mix is divine and I love the location. And colour. And expression. And teal tights. And your exquisiteness!
ReplyDeleteSarah xxx
Damn, you take the best pix!
ReplyDeleterrrrrrrraaagghhhhh, you are woman. I love the pattern attack. And the wrap. The setting is just fantastic. Fashion as art, I expect no less xxxxxx
