Olive Oyl x Moschino x Lularoe

Today's #COTDstyle Challenge is "POP ART MADNESS AND CRAZY BLACK!"
I immediately thought of my Moschino Boutique Olive Oyl scarf:

and my Lularoe leggings:

I bought the scarf around the same time that I got the "BOOM!" scarf.
I was imagining it bigger than what arrived in the mail.
I hung it up, and contemplated what to do with it (not a big wearer of small square scarves).
When I recently got the leggings, I immediately added them to the scarf display. They were instant friends.
But what to use as the transitional base to sew the scarf into?
I think it will be the confetti pattern behind Olive Oyl.

Stay tuned!
Pattern clashing. My métier.

Friday.
LOOK! 52 Bloggers on a SCARF!!!!!

Available here on Redbubble. [I get a small commission]

It's VERY VERY large!
It's a nice soft polyester (never thought I'd be saying those words when I was a 100% natural fiber gal in my youth). I haven't put it to a thorough static cling test yet, so far, not too terrible.

Saturday.
Dug out a relic:

Wore it like this:

Opted out of this outerwear:

You can call me Green Riding Hood

Made this plaid from a photo during a class demo:

Met up with Lani in Venice after class at the Charles Garabedian  retrospective at LA Louver.
(We both took classes with Chaz in the 70s at College of Creative Studies at UC Santa Barbara).
Saw this:

Peter Voulkos, Anasazi (Stack S13), 2010, bronze, 75 1/4 x 36 x 38"

And this:

Venice Beach Sunset

Sunday.
I turned into a domestic dervish and made two batches of jam: Rose Petal and Seville Marmalade.

Mr Lou was not impressed.

I watched a little bit of the Grammys telecast and was able to catch (and sketch) Beyoncé's extravaganza.

Yowza.

Severo arrived home from his gig in Illinois and we were both hungry, so that was it for my Grammy viewing, though we got home in time to catch Adele receiving her fourth and fifth awards. Maybe I'll sketch her today [check my IG to see if I do] -- I decided to take a sick day from work. Too exhausted!

Fantasy and Reality

PURCHASED/ GIFTED/

Here's another combo that I thought of yesterday:
Olowu plus City Scribble tunic.
Arm still bad, so this outfit is only in my dreams.

What I'm actually wearing.
And looking at these two photos,
I think the dot scarf goes nicely with the shirt too.

Major good outcome of experiment:
I can wear my Mary Jane clogs again.
The mysterious top of foot pain is gone.
Huzzah!

Granny Squared, Doubled Down

I REALLY REALLY wanted to go to the crochet workshop with the Yarn Bombing LA group,
hosted by the Craft and Folk Art Museum last Saturday.
I wanted to wear my Granny Square Wrap -- what to pair it with?

Here's a nice eye-catching combo!
Paisley shell did not play well with wrap (sigh).

A tunic was needed...

"Pick me! Pick me!" said the urban/circuitry BW rayon yardage.
[I snagged this when I was a Sample Cutter at Warren Z circa 1985/6]

I actually sewed something! It took less than an hour.

It's one of my famous Rectangle Tunics.
Dimensions are 39.5 x 37.5"
Doesn't the rayon drape in a lovely manner?

I was so excited about my new outfit! This is a look that can go places!

Alas, the auto gods were not in agreement. Car servicing took too long -- it turned into much more than a simple oil change (as is all too common). They weren't going to finish until 3:00 -- the workshop started at 3:30. It would take at least 30 minutes to get to mid-Wilshire and find parking -- not to mention the two mile walk to the mechanic. (I suppose I could have started walking at 2pm, didn't think of that until now).

BooHoo - a brand new outfit and no place to wear it!

Sunday, I had to sit my gallery and I tried something more toned down:

This is my idea of toned down. Hahahahaha.
BTW, like my new haircut? I'm aiming for a rockabilly look.

That's a yes!
I was SO HAPPY in this! I wore it for the rest of the day for my hot AnneSeverosary [anniversary] date with Mr Severo.
On my hips is a Desigual skirt, unzipped with the waistline facing exposed.
I got it last year on sale in NYC. It's too small and short, I wear it over other things.
(The ikat scarf was for photo only -- it's super itchy and needs a fleece liner).

Keep on being visions of loveliness, my friends!
