Fashion blogger post featuring quite tight shorts

I thought I'd start blogging my outfits as it's something I've wanted to do for a while to play with my own personal style and I've been inspired by other fashion bloggers. 

Today's outfit consists of a fancy shirt from Resurrection (a vintage inspired boutique on Liverpool's Bold Street), shorts from Forever 21 (quite a risk seeing how tight they are), one vintage ring, one ring from Amsterdam, a Gustav Klimt inspired phone case from Giant Sparrows (Klimt is one of my favourite artists), a pair of brogues from ASOS and an Art Nouvea inspired necklace.

Barbarella

A couple of months ago I wore a Barbarella inspired outfit that I forgot to blog about. For those who don't know, Barbarella is the main character played by Jane Fonda in the late sixties in the film 'Barbarella Queen of the Galaxy'. 



A great part of the sixties was influenced by the first man in history to step on the moon which meant that designs in fashion and home interior entailed space-age and futuristic elements. Barbarella was a film created on the same inspirations. 

Barbarella wore a lot of metallic clothing and interstellar embellishments. This inspired my to purchase the asymmetric, metallic skirt seen in the picture below.

Tiger Eyes.



I started painting this picture in the hope that it would turn out to look like a tiger. However at some point along the line it developed into a darker idea. 

The crimson engraved into the painting outlines the stripes found on the face of a tiger. In between these lines there are many eyes in different shapes and sizes to express an abstract feeling.
