This week I have a very special mani just in time for Mary Blair March and inspired by the colors of my new Rare Dirndl custom dirndl! I started with a base of silvery Holo Taco “Circuit Breaker” and then did designs in the bright yellow “Hi-Def,” electric blue “Be Kind Rewind,” soft pink “Blush Monday,” and a custom green made by mixing “Wicked Potion” with a drop of “Hi-Def.”
In honor of Mary Blair March, I decided to do a mani that mimics her extraordinary use of color. I went with two of the shades from the Holo Taco “Retro Movie Night” collection…the yellow “Hi-Def” and the purple “Anti-Hero.” I think I captured the spirit of her color theory pretty well!
Time to kick off Mary Blair Week (a week I invented as the high point of Mary Blair March, which is a time to wear all of my favorite Pinup Girl Mary Blair prints and celebrate the life and work of that talented artist!) with a Mary Blair Monday outfit. I’m wearing the yellow train print Jenny skirt because it is the first Mary Blair print I purchased, and was what really introduced me to her art.
I decided to go bold with my Splendette bangle stack:
And while this Erstwilder brooch isn’t a Mary Blair piece, it is whimsical enough to fit right in with the outfit!
I’m looking forward to wearing more great Mary Blair pieces (and seeing the outfits other people put together) all week long!
