high contrast

Stark white and dark black. Clubby London Drum and Bass. Fonts with thick and thin lines. The only adjustment I make on pretty much every scanned drawing. I love high contrast.

 

I wanted to reuse the combination of my thrifted Topshop cardigan, and my dotted silk scarf from the Brown Elephant charity shop in Chicago.

 

I swapped in a swiss dot Liz Claiborne* dress as the bottom layer, and let the neckline and hem of a secondhand 70s polka dot shirt peek out.

 

My shiny white stockings are from StockinGirl, and my mary janes are from Target. So is the incredibly cheap plastic tote I was lugging my coffeehouse-reading and tripod in.

 

The leather gloves are new-old-stock from Retrocat Vintage.

 

*OMG ISSAC MIZRAHI AS NEW CREATIVE DIRECTOR? Wearable retro femme dresses up to Heaven is my prediction for this partnership.
