Color Blocking



This look reminds me of Salvador Dali's surrealist painting entitled, The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1952-1954). The blocks on the water translates into the color blocking of the shirt. Though there are no actual chains on the painting, it focuses on time's disintegration and the artist's meditation on the collapse of our notions of a fixed cosmic order. The chains on the scarf made me think of this metaphor. Although this may be a little philosophical, it does not deter from the beauty of the scarf. :) Also, I love how this painting inspires the colors on the stacked bracelets meshing blue-green, yellow, black and orange.

Outfit: cut-out shirt from MosaicMarc Jacobs cross-body bag, stacked bracelets by RA, Timex leather snakeskin watch
