Tea and Matisse
After days of cabin fever, we finally decided to brave the snowy weather for a day of tea (at my favourite little tea house in town) and Matisse (some of his works are on display at the local Art Gallery). Since we parked near my favourite historical site, Whitehern House, I couldn't resist a little baronial photo op. While inside, I learned of an amazing local early 20th century artist whose works I had never seen. His name was William Blair Bruce paintings and his works were just gorgeous. His use of colour, the sense of movement and detail in his huge canvases, his ability to capture light and shadow=WOW. Anyway, this ended up being my perfect sort of day: a peaceful and civilized little outing centred around tea and art! Didn't hurt to have an excuse to wear some of my favourite vintage items out and about either. Lovely day!
Lovely outfit, the colour really suits you!!

You look as pretty as a picture yourself. I love everything, and most especially the shoes.

Aww you look so cute!!! Great outfit! :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh you look wonderful, love the little flash of tartan the scarf gives the whole outfit! A visit to a tea house and art gallery sounds like the perfect way to shake that awful cabin fever :D
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely, as you always do!
ReplyDeleteDear Carys: thank you! In retrospect, the scarf was a bit more orange than the skirt, but I was determined to make everything work!
ReplyDeleteComtesse: kind thanks! I'm trying to remember what label they are (all I know is they are non-vintage, but vintage inspired. Perfect for wear out in the slush, as they are weather proofed and not a pair of precious 30s shoes!).
Harlow Darling: thank you!! I love my plaid, so the scarf was a perfect way to help keep the winter chill out of the wide neckline of the jacket.
Emily, Kim: thank you! xoxo
You have quite the knack for putting together amazing winter outfits---and I love your purse/handbag!

thanks! It actually took me a while to figure this one out. I was so tired of my parka and clunky winter boots!
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely. I'm particularly smitten with the hat!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like my idea of a lovely day, too. And you look gorgeous to boot.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You always look so chic :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day!
thanks, Katia, Tickety Boo, Penny, VildesVerden, Lauren!! It *was* such a lovely, low key day!
ReplyDeleteAs for the hat, I would love to actually make myself a few of these (one in every color?), but in the meantime, the vintage one in the pic is a favourite topper.
