Kandinsky Sweater

I'm trying to do the Terri pose! (not as cute as Terri, tho)
Early this morning, before I knew about the tsunami in Japan, I was very excited about this post.  I will try and rewind myself, and do my best!

First of all, I want to thank Terri over at Rags against the Machine for sending me this gift!  A while ago, I had complimented about this sweater on her blog, and what did I receive?  THE SWEATER IN THE MAIL!  How sweet is that?  And I just love it!  I'm all excited about all the ways I can style it--but for now I went with my current go-to outfit.


  
My go-to-outfit-of-the-bottom-half is my jean skirt, brown tights and my fuzzy clogs.  Its mud season in here, so need a durable shoe.

This sweater reminds me of Kandinsky--don't you think?  Now, I'm not as eloquent as Artfully Awear in describing the artist's style, but I think the shapes and colors are somewhat like his style.  Except for the Missoni sleeves.


Kandinsky, Cossaks--1910

My thoughts and prayers to those effected by the tsunami.

  1. It is Kandinsky and who knew when I grabbed it that I did so because I would start a blog and that YOU would look so good in it! Plus, I now have your tacit permission to wear a denim skirt again. I'm pretty proud that I haven't worn one since last September.
