It should not surprise anyone to know that I have sent out many submission proposals to similar publications that did not get selected for publication. At this time, I enjoy designing accessory projects. I look for ideas in many places. Sometimes I like to search current fashion images online.
In a search for "fall 2013 accessories", just weeks ago, I ended up finding a story from Harper's Bazaar, "Perfect Pairs: 10 Sets of Stylish Winter Accessories". It is by Chrissy Rutherford and is dated November 27, 2012. I bookmarked it thinking that one day I would like to share it here (with you).
This image is on the cover page where Chrissy wrote, "This winter forgo your boring black knit accessories and opt for this season's offerings of vibrant colors, rich textures and fun patterns. Don't fret... we've done the pairing for you." Here are a couple more of these...
I found these pairings oddly enjoyable. I kind of thought, "I'll bet I could do that." I like to put things together. Here are a couple more...
When I saw an old purchased tartan scarf in my old scarf box not very long after I bookmarked the HB article, I knew that my own pairing was in the works...
Introducing... my latest FO, "Pop of Red" Tartan Mitts, paired with my "Old Scarf Box" scarf. What would Chrissy think?
No doubt Chrissy would think that you hit the mark! It's amazing how much inspiration is around us if only we look for it.
ReplyDeleteIt's like an infinity of inspiration when we search for something online. Thanks for your comment Tracy.
DeleteA great tartan combination. Well done! Are they MacDonald tartans?
ReplyDeleteSorry, Dixie, but I do not know if the plaid fabric is a 'named' tartan. I am not a bit Scottish. I do love many of the plaids and I have a thing for the red ones.
