Yup, nothing like those crazy spirograph circles to get in the mood.
And my aqua brows with bright lipstick, no eye products - a face in colourful parentheses.
I met so many great people downtown today. The music was unbelievable!
This last photo catches my mood best.
Details:
- ballerina dress, thrifted, vintage
- graphic top worn over dress, thrifted
- platform sandals, thrifted
- silky accordion-pleat underskirt, thrifted
- green beret, gift from gorgeous Ariane at Style Sud-Est
- magic loupe and pendant, O made them for me
- whale airship, from friend Monique of little lamp sculptures on Etsy
- mechanical wristwatch (I seldom mention it although I always wear it), vintage, gift from O
- tights, retail
That's all. This is my third post in three days. Extremely unusual.
I'll be joining Patti at Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday with this. See you there.
Don't forget to email Shelley of Forest City Fashionista to get on the Freakish Yellow Skirt travel itinerary.
Again, thanks, Shelley!
You look jubilant! I love days like that.

From the thumbnail at Patti's, I thought it was a watermelon print. But NOOOOOOOO, it's a VORTEX of swirls. AAAAAAAAH! My eyes!
ReplyDeleteLove.
You wear tulle beautifully, and happy to see it appear once again as your choice. Every piece in your ensemble, along with aqua brows, must have been harmonizing with the music. Your 'mood photo' is contagious!
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit! Love your joy even more. :)
ReplyDeleteinspiring! i love how happy you look! Rock those aqua eyebrows :)
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed prolific with prose these days. You're always welcome in my inbox! I had to google spirograph to be sure it was what I was thinking of....YUP! Another fond trip down memory lane. Countless hours creating....what? Colourful circles, that's what!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you are enjoying JazzFest! Haven't partaken in the festivities for a few years, and with your endorsement, and seeing Herbie Hancock's handsome mug in The Sun...well, I'm definitely game for if not next weekend, next year!

I've just read your last three posts on the trot - well almost, had to go get more coffee to keep up!! Fabulous - love the stream of consciousness antibloglovin rant, very salingeresque. Your last outfit is just lovely and the aqua eyebrows - blisssss..xx
ReplyDeleteYou're smiling!!! Must have been some really good jazz! Nice.
ReplyDeleteGreta Music is one of the things that makes the world a happy place! Great outfit!
ReplyDeleteAqua eyebrows and a tutu. I am yours forever!
ReplyDeleteYou are such an artist when it comes to painting your face, I love the aqua brows and naked eyes and don't even get me started on those shoes! LOVE! xxxx

ReplyDeleteyou're so gorgeous wearing your green beret!
besos & musik
The ballerina skirt and wonderful shoes take me to another dimension, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:
ReplyDeleteMagic always, dear friend.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Amazing amazing outfit! The colours are amazing, the beret + your brows combine beautifully, and that skirt is a dream. You're an absolute vision.
ReplyDeleteI love those wedges! Gorgeous! And I love the aqua eyebrows, don't know if I'd be brave enough to be so bold with colour, love it!
ReplyDeleteplatform sandals a tulle ballerina skirt and swirls...omg, if i wasn't already married I would marry you, just so i could look at you forever! xxxx
ReplyDeleteyou were born for tulle! I love your joyous expression and teal eyebrows. Thanks for sharing them with Vis Monday.
ReplyDeleteYour mood photo is contagious - we're all smiling now! That is how outdoor music festivals make me feel too - I'm waiting for our first one in a couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteI love your swirls, tulle and tam ensemble.
Wonderful fresh use of tulle- so modern and summery. I am spinning in circles with delight just looking at you.
ReplyDeleteI love this cheerful top especially when combined with the green beret. And the tulle skirt again! I remember the tutu and a teacup challenge.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely ADORE this outfit!!! Too cute xoxo
ReplyDeleteBeret worn without fear.
ReplyDeleteLove the joy and colors! Wish I was brave enough to sport that. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou look so happy. And one of a kind (meant as a compliment haha).
ReplyDeleteGreetje
More and more I come to the conclusion that a tule skirt is absolutely necessary. As necessary as a demin jacket at least. Yours is wonderful, flattering, having the perfect length and, as I see, together with the psychedelic top it brings you lots of fun! Can any piece of cloth do it better?!
ReplyDeleteThose sandals were thrifted? Someone made a huge mistake letting those go! Lovely!

Ahhhhh! I'm glad to see the ballerina dress again! Wonderful shoes!
ReplyDeleteSpirograph circles, but without those annoying pin prick holes in the paper! Oh the joys of the 1960-70s childhood...
ReplyDeleteYou are a joy to behold, more than any Spirograph creation, with your aqua eyebrows, amazing shoes, and twirly whirlybird tulle. I am badly behind with commenting so am working backwards, you've been prolific of late, Mel! xxxx
Ah! Turquoise eyebrows! I'm agog! And in awe. Could I do that? No...I'm too chicken. I still care that people will laugh.
ReplyDeleteI adore this outfit and I think you look magical. Magic is you.
I love the contradictions in this outfit bright mod circles and gentle soft ivory tulle, those woven platforms, the green hat....your a funky vision!
ReplyDeleteXxxooo
HURRAY!! A glorious spirographic day!! (That was one of my most beloved toys!) The shoes make me very happy too. I'm going back up in a moment to take another look at your watch and necklace. :-)
ReplyDeleteXXOO
I just saw your brilliant co-post with Rosalind on Bella's blog. Wonderfully done! And I am so happy to have discovered a fearless, colorful person in the process.
ReplyDeleteI've roughed up my tutu with denim jackets, but your spiro is inspired! It reminds me of mesmerized eyes as drawn in cartoons. xx

Who could resist having a conversation with you! The green eyebrows are adorable. You are a vision of magic dust with colored crayon shavings on top! Fun and happy delight.
ReplyDeleteblue hue wonderland
you're tutu terrific!!
ReplyDeleteLovin' your constant reminder that when "it works" no questions should be asked, and whatever it is that "works" should just be enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteYou look like music!
And how good to have your own, in-house jeweler. You're also wearing one of my favorite of your smiles!
Have a great week.
You are a spiro-graphed, tulled, bracketed vision of glory!!
ReplyDeleteOh my this is so incredibly fun! I just adore your style! Love the skirt! It is just perfect with the beret!

OMG, as I stroll through your old posts, I find myself entranced. You have great style. You approach fashion as art: creative and free.
ReplyDeleteI like the energy of your outfits and the playfulness of many of them, like this one. I've worn tutus too and know how you feel, as an adult, putting one on. I think I'm hooked on your fashion exploration!
