Style


I adore how this lady is dressed.  If I could figure out how to do this I would certainly adopt this as my style of dress.  

There's a new book coming out titled Advanced Style: Older and Wiser that's available now for preorder.  The picture above is from the book.

The following is the text that accompanies the picture:

"...I must tell you that I am not really an old lady; just cleverly disguised as one.  Art and color keep me young, keep me sane.  Working as I do as an untutored 'outsider' artist it is my therapy, my medicine, my joy, and my purpose in life.

Color surrounds me: I revel in it, splash it everywhere, gulp it with a spoon.  I am immersed in art.  I make it, collect it, it fills and defines my existence.  Childish, shamanistic, wild and anarchic, it is as far outside the box as it is possible to be.  Box??  There is no box!

Be bold, be adventurous.  Do profound things, dazzle yourself and the world.  Don't wear beige: it might kill you.  Contribute to society, and live large. Life is short, make every moment count.  It is never too late to find your passion." --Sue Kreitzman

  2. When I first glanced at the picture, I thought it was you. It could be. You would look great in that.

  3. I usually don't think about what to wear. I would never pay good money for that coat or dress though.

  4. I have found the older I get, the bolder the colors are that I wear. I'm not yet to the stage of that lady though. Maybe soon.

  5. I would love to have the courage to dress this flamboyantly, but I like to blend in with the scenery as much as possible.
