{ costume of the day } midcentury/modernist//minimal/maximalist

faithful readers may recall that i recently moved to a new home/studio. it's been an exciting and exhausting process! part of me wishes i could snap my fingers and my apartment would magically look like the picture in my head; another part really enjoys the process of transforming it from empty space into the living embodiment of that image.

either way, i've been spending much of my free time in furniture stores, trying to hone in on my distinct decorating style, and find those few perfect pieces that will make my home (teeny sneak peek below) both functional and fashionable.

often, shopping is more importantly about considering, comparing and contemplating than it is about voracious acquisition. the same is as true with clothes and accessories as it is with furniture and housewares. it takes time and patience to discover what really works for you; unfortunately, i don't have an excess of either!

ultimately, i'm trying to achieve a sort of midcentury-simplicity-meets-grandiose-baroque sort of aesthetic ~ marrying a modern sensibility with a bit of bombastic hollywood regency aplomb, all executed in a minimal palette (black/white/silver/gold). if this outfit is any indication, i do believe that focus is affecting my dress!
