Green... I Do Not Envy You

Painting by Tamara de Lempicka

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  So, I looked in my closet and surprise, surprise... I don't own anything GREEN.  Well, does army green count?  As I've mentioned before, I've got mainly a sea of black, grey, camel and of course, white for spring/summer.

admit it... he's cute!

I happen to love the color "chartreuse" yet I can't envision wearing it because I think I would look like a giant Iguana.  A little trivia about me -- I actually had a pet Iguana that I named Chartreuse when I was in college.  I know... bizarre.  Eventually, I moved on to softer and cuddlier animals.  But, I digress...

my silk charmeuse dress on Sylvia Williams

I figured since I have nothing green to wear and share today, I would post one of my pieces that I designed instead.  Sylvia Williams was so kind as to model this silk charmeuse, cowl back dress inspired by one of my favorite Tamara de Lempicka paintings.  I love this dress although, we hated each other while I was making it... silk charmeuse can be such a bitch to sew!
