Last week when I posted the inspiration for SIA, “The Door Within” by Jean Fetman, which was found by this week’s host Erin in a dumpster (!), I said I didn’t know if I could participate or not because I had nothing that colorful in my closet. But then Jen and Erin persuaded me to try, so try I did, and lo and behold, I did find something – this top!
So maybe it’s not as colorful as the painting, but the painterly quality of the print on the front is an OK match. To pair with it, I chose my black pants and burgundy heels because there is a bit of black and dark red in the painting, and then topped it off with my “house” pendant – the title is “The Door Within”, so I wanted to include “a door within” in my outfit as well. I’m just happy that I did manage to put together an outfit for SIA after all, but the outfit itself is not that bad (even if I do say so myself.)
I wore this to a faculty meeting last Saturday – school hasn’t officially started yet, but we’re slowly getting back to the everyday grind. I am not looking forward to it…

Yay!!!! You look great (casually professional for your faculty meeting — those start for me again soon, and at a new college!), and such wonderful symbolism with the house pendant. Excellent and personalized interpretation of this week’s inspiration artwork! 🙂
Thanks Jen! I’m quite happy that I managed to put this together, while I had been so sure I had to sit this one out!
The print on your top is beautiful and matches the prompt so well! 🙂
I really like the bright shoes with it too 🙂
