Outfit Inspiration: Shopping and a Pedicure à la Andy Warhol's 'Marilyn Monroe'

Outfit Inspiration is just what it says...a way for ME to show YOU that you can gather inspiration for killer ensembles from nearly ANYTHING!!! Today's inspiration is from another one of the greatest masters of all time...the famous artist, Andy Warhol.

Artist Andy Warhol became the first artist to recognize the artistic potential of the screen printing process, which up until then had only been used in industry to print packaging. It allowed Warhol to mass produce paintings in his New York studio 'The Factory' with the help of his team of assistants, and saw the birth of the Pop Art movement (got that info from here). We're not really going to talk 'art class' today...but we did use Warhol's fabulous bright/bold color palette to create a lust-worthy pedi/shopping day look, just for you!

Glancing above, you will see the Polyvore assisted collage is rich in BOLD and BRIGHT colors just like Warhol's Marilyn Monroe is! NEON is all the rage and adding a small dose to your ensemble is a sassy spin on this huge, new trend. As I'm actually racing out the door to get a pedicure with a good girlfriend (birthday present for her) I started imagining what I might sport if I had the time to throw it all together. Above is precisely what I'm feeling like wearing...but don't have time!

Here we go...a white VEST and paper-bag shorts, paired with bright PINK wayfarers...a hat to keep the sun off and then a big pink re-usable shopping tote. Espadrilles that are open-toed for pretty painted toesies and some awesome accessories tie the whole look together. Do notice I'm bringing my own polish for any later touch-ups to allow the pedi to look it's best and well, get my money's worth. Bright pink lipstick and some pretty perfume will also be in my bag! So...as I hustle out the door, in my long black MAXI DRESS and flip flops...if I had the time, I'd race back in my room and walk out truly dazzling like a Warhol painting! Enjoy!
