Sartorial Saturday–A Colorful Suit Look Inspired by Mary Blair

Today I’m taking a look at an outfit with color styling inspired by the work of Mary Blair!

Every year, when Mary Blair March rolls around, I try to find new ways to combine pieces from my wardrobe based on the color combinations Mary Blair used in her book and movie illustrations. When I was going through my closet, I realized that the pink Terentia-Paz vest and Lucile-Paz trumpet skirt from Miss Candyfloss would make a bold and whimsical pairing with the orange Martane-Brandy blouse.

I accessorized with a boater hat from Vixen by Micheline Pitt, a RockLove Jewelry Alice in Wonderland spinner necklace based on Mary Blair’s illustrations from the animated Disney classic, a vintage brooch, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles.

It’s so much fun to wear such bold colors together!

I love getting outfit inspiration from unexpected places!

Stay tuned for a few more Mary Blair March themed looks!

Sartorial Saturday–InVESTed

Last week, I took a look at my newest wide-leg pants from Miss Candyfloss…today it’s all about the coordinating Terentia-Bo vest!

This is my first vest, and I really love the way it looks. It goes great with the matching pants (of course!), but I also really like it as a contrast to these pants, especially with an orange bishop-sleeve blouse to tie the look together:

I accessorized with a stack of glittery Splendette Duchess Bangles, an Erstwilder brooch, and a whimsical pair of turkey earrings by SUGARFIX by Baublebar I found at Target:

I absolutely love a Miss Candyfloss peplum!

This is such a smart look!

Stay tuned for a look at the full vest/pants suit!

Sartorial Saturday–Bishop Sleeves

I don’t have a lot of pieces with bishop sleeves in my wardrobe, but I really love the ones I do have. They’re so forgiving, and they add a little extra elegance to any look. This is an older Miss Candyfloss blouse (the Martane-Brandy), and it goes so well with my Brindy-Dora wide-legged swing pants!

I also love the bow at the neck!

This look may have an autumnal vibe, but I’m getting anxious to see the spring/summer 2023 Miss Candyfloss lookbook!
