monday metamorphosis on a tuesday?! :: cy twombly


when i went to the opening of the newly constructed modern wing {i became a member of the museum just to get in!} at the art institute in chicago i was taken aback by cy twombly's larger than life abstract floral murals. they were bold and colorful - i wanted to constantly be surrounded by such happiness. learning that these lovely paintings were done by a little old man on a ladder only made me love them more...

when i came across this piece by cy twombly i was shocked. so unlike what i was used to seeing by him yet just as fantastic. it's lovely muted colors make me swoon. it reminds me of summer at dusk. so i built a little outfit around this piece. here we go::

01 :: complexgeometries x osei-duro box tank crackle
02 :: acne bag
03 :: jude wedge by dolce vita
04 :: number one by karen walker
05 :: railroad spike cuff by giles & brother
06 :: small deco hoops by lila rice
