SIA Moustachioes

Jen is a new host for Style imitating art and her first choice was this brilliant Movemberish painting Colonel Frederick Gustavus Barnaby, painted by James Tissot in 1870. I thought this painting was great fun and I loved the Colonel's dapper niform. Obviously, I took the colours as my inspiration though reversing the ratios with more red than black and tried two different jackets. I also couldn't resist taking the mickey out of the pose a bit!! Outfit: Red and black dress, black velvet jacket, black and red tartan jacket- all vintage thrifted/charity shop. SHoes- Clarks. Hat- hand-crocheted by Mum. Once again, I am home hideously late from orchestra...
