You are what you wear, as the famous saying goes.
What’s that? This isn’t how the famous saying goes?
Oh.
In any case, I am a painter and I am wearing paint swatches
today.
This idea came to me months ago when my artist friends
Jeanne and John gave me some art supplies they no longer needed, including two
paint decks. (Thanks, J + J!) I immediately saw the potential to turn a deck
into a dress. I’m using my favorite colors from the deck, which are the
brightest, most colorful ones, rather than all the serious greys and beiges.
Bright colors make me happy. If you feel happy in your clothes, your day is
more likely to go well. (Wearing paper is not the most comfortable thing ever,
but color wins this week!)
By the way, does this outfit make you want to race to your
nearest paint store and buy quart after quart of happy colors and paint accent
walls different colors all over your house, until it looks as colorful as a
candy store? ME TOO!
Happy painting…
You're a "card" Sarah! It was great seeing you "decked out" in your latest
ReplyDeletecreation today. I look forward to Wednesdays at the Fitness Center just
to enjoy your artsy outfits and you too!

Hi Roxie, thanks! Color has such an effect on mood, I think.
DeleteI would love to hear more about how you put it together. It's very cool, like a geometric rainbow.
ReplyDeleteKim, thanks! It does have that vibe. I love how you put things....
DeleteThat dress was lovely, just bursting with color!
ReplyDeleteC-O-L-O-R--yay!
DeleteWhat a fun dress! Made out of fabric and I think that it would really sell. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteHI Adri, thank you! All those colors in the paint deck just made me happy...
