alley cat

This dress would have been perfect for my prom.  I don’t usually wear prints, but I’ve become fond of trompe-l’oeil . . . especially when it’s as clever as this one.  Central Saint Martins grads James Woolfin and Yvette White, expertly make ‘deceit of the eye’ graphic using black and white prints and experimenting with imperfect textures.  A loose thread or an open zipper may not be ideal in reality, but in a photographic form becomes art.

Moustache Man and I found a gem of a photo op with several shot possibilities.  Of course we were crestfallen when security came and busted us.  Private property, schmoperty.

    I hate when The Man tries to keep down fashion bloggers! :D

    I second Grace- is there ever a moment when you aren’t dressed in the most creative and thoughtful manner?
