art inspired: picasso, self-portrait with cloak
Tuesday, October 11, 2011
Self-Portrait with Cloak is an early Blue Period painting, when Picasso was a struggling painter. This series of blue and blue-green paintings were part of his transition from a classic to abstract style. I find the colors in this painting so elegant and love the way that fall fashion has mirrored the palette.

Beautiful outfit inspiration and my favourite shade of blue. x
this is a cool post :) i like the outfit that came out of it! especially the pretty blue shirt :)
I love the jeans and the boots.... Not sure my frame can support such a blouse (I feel like I get eaten by high necks and long sleeves)
these colors are speaking to me!
A beautiful, elegant outfit, without being too formal thanks to the skinny jeans, just my kind of look. :)

And what a beautiful, courageous colour.
