The Elie Tahari Carrie dress was made with you in mind, darling! :)
What a fun bathing suit! Happy weekend!
Now, I want to grab a paint brush and paint something in my closet.
You've inspired me yet again.That strapless short dress has me painted all over it! Have a great weekend CC!
so creative! I adore that floral, strapless dress and the first photo.
Gorgeous, I'm so happy to see this trend return again! This time around it looks more soft and tie-dyed, but the combo of art and fashion always fits.

I almost bought the Leyendecker dress at Shopbop :P - I love the AKris ones too. Brushstrokes or watercolour clothes are a must-have!
i love Sasha P all the more because of what a talented artist she is. Painted prints are so much fun, one of my favourite dresses has paint splatters all over! xx
gorgeous post cc!!!
those first few images are just lovely!
eeek! love this.
wow i love those! so artsy and inspiring!
I love how you show several different meanings of "paint me"! From paintings to painting inspired clothing, this post is great! I love the dress that looks like watercolor!
Beautiful images! I love all the prints... I've really got to incorporate more prints into my wardrobe.
Those first few photos are absolutley gorgeous!!
This post makes me want to go get my face painted...like with a sparkly fairy or some pretty flowers!! :P
i love jeans with paint splatters on them! looks so cool
Gorgeous post. Last year I splattered paint over a white t-shirt. I love it.
Yzesterday, I saw a painted print skirt at TJ Maxx by Kenneth Cole that I almost got. Now I see that I was almost on trend11
Happy weekend!xoxo
Great post,. I love how two art forms are mixed here. x
Wouldn't it be amazing to be friends with an artist and just exist in a studio?! So much creativity xoxo
i love several of these colorful pieces!
i have a separate "wardrobe" of clothes that i wear when working (i'm an artist)...they're covered in paint but not really in a good way. : )
i adore the strapless tahari carrie dress!
the second picture is amazing and I would love to have all the dresses you posted :)
x
Absolutely stunning! I'm loving the 'painterly' prints/fabrics, and there are so many breathtaking examples here! :)
