I don't think too much about fashion - I like what I like and I wear it. I live in Uniqlo Marimekko and occasionally real Marimekko and Kitten D'Amour. On my feet, Birkenstocks and I did have a collection of Kitten D'amour shoes but alas heels are not my friends anymore. Shiny Converse are my new dress shoes.

Who is my style icon?
Yanoi Kusama. I love her art but she also always looks cool! I've written about her work in Canberra, displays in Sydney, her museum in Tokyo, seeking her robot (and failing), and of course the big exhibition in Melbourne. Her art is very much part of her, and her dresses and the hair always look so fabulous.
I too rock the red hair from time to time, in theory all the time but it washes out after a few weeks and sometimes I take a bit of time to do it again....like now. She is not afraid to mix patterns, like me since the Anthony Bloomfield days in the '80's. I've just tried to google him and it seems he's vanished. Which is sad, as he really started the wearing two prints fad.
The bottom line is, style is so much more than clothes. It's in all that you do, it's in how you carry yourself. Confidence and style are often intertwined (though not bullish). If the clothes make you feel good, bring you happiness when wearing them, style is usually on display.

Thanks Lydia, you've summed it up perfectly with this paragraph 'The bottom line is, style is so much more than clothes. It's in all that you do, it's in how you carry yourself. Confidence and style are often intertwined (though not bullish). If the clothes make you feel good, bring you happiness when wearing them, style is usually on display'. I agree wholeheartedly with all of it! Great to have you join us in the linkup.
