It started with this gorgeous silk dress that I snatched off the sale rack at an obscenely overpriced boutique in Old City. There was something about the paint-splashed effect that made me gasp...and the $60 price tag (marked down at least 75%) didn't hurt, either. I plan to style this down with a denim vest, gray wedges, and a cotton scarf from Paris. Is it April yet?
Then I tripped over this stunner at Banana Republic of all places. It's more graphic than the dress, but it has the same silk painting effect -- in fact, they're calling it the Painterly blouse. The fun thing about this one is that I've already given it a test drive at work, peeking out from under a cashmere cardigan. But it'll be even sweeter with skinny jeans and flats this Spring.
These purchases got me thinking about art-as-fashion, and lo and behold, I found a few other paint-inspired options that are just the thing for the warming months ahead...

This sweet little DVF number is actually called "Monet Fields," and would you believe it's currently 70% off at Shopbop? And the only remaining size in stock is...mine?
Gotta run! I've got some, um, painting to do.
