Okay I'm not really, but since I began working the local Arts Center recently I wear almost nothing but ballet flats - and not so secretly wish I actually was heading to dance class after work. This has been quite a change, on the footwear and the employment front - I went from personal banker & high heels, to retail associate & ballet flats. Why I made this change perhaps will be explored in a future post, but for now all I will say is I am glad I was able to leave the stress and stupidity behind. (Also, can you believe I worked at a bank?! ) Anyways, I was paging through an art book at work and was stopped cold by Matisse' "Dance" and his unapologetic use of saturated color.
Later as I was browsing my closet I came upon one of my favorite maxi skirts, which is almost the same color as the exuberant prancing gentlemen in Mattise's painting. Well it doesn't take a rocket scientist, only a retail associate, to run with it and create my very own "Dance" ensemble.
With inspiration as grand as Matisse the work was almost already complete - just grab a skirt and necklace from Forever 21, a denim shirt and ballet flats from Target and run with it.
