One thing I like about being in the studio a lot is that it forces me to be more creative about what I wear - ideally, I would wear inexpensive clothes, clothes that I don't particularly value. But I don't want to just throw on a pair of tracksuit pants and be done with it, either. I want to put together an outfit that still bears the hallmarks of, well, me, even if my favourite dress-up ingredients, like 50's dresses and patent boots, are out.
(By the way, I don't own tracksuit pants. Don't worry.)
Please excuse my face in these photographs! They were both taken at about eight in the morning, and my face doesn't usually fall into place until at least eleven.
On Wednesday, I wore:
• Maroon geometric scarf.
• Maroon velvet bed jacket, formerly a dressing gown, worn as a jacket.
• White 'Just Jeans' cotton dress, eBay, $2.
• Black 60's ruffled nightie, underneath.
• Black 'Jay Jay's' skinny jeans.
• Black and white 1940's spectator heels, opshopped.
And today I wore:
• White ruffled tuxedo shirt, eBay.
• Jeans, bought in Europe.
• White flip-floppy thong things (I wasn't functioning well enough at eight this morning to think about footwear).
• Blue beret, eBay.
And while we're on the subject of my life-consuming painting obsession, here is one of my favourite painters, Rosson Crow, dressed fantastically at one of her shows (taken from this amazing interview):

Is that your painting in the background? I really like it x
It's a painting by a friend of mine, whom I share a studio with :) I'll pass the compliment on!
I get into this kind of crazy space too, when I'm working flat-out ... am in it now in fact. Although I don't have to worry about paint splashes! I think it's great that you still look so lovely when you're absorbed in your work.
