JMB

It was my little sister's birthday last week and I headed home for over-eating and Hama beading. It was such a nice day all -round so thought i'd do an outfit post. These are one of my favourite pairs of tights and also my new T-shirt from my trip to the Uniqlo Pop-up store.

The design is inspired by the work of Jean Michel Basquiat, originally a graffiti artist his work is primitive and expressive. I like its erratic, confused, almost painful use of colour and thick crawling black lines and smears . The colours used remind me of the Fauvist paintings of Matisse and Derain. Feel like I'm going to end up wearing this one a lot!

Poison Oasis - Jean Michel Basquiat (1981)
The Joy of Life - Henri Matisse (1905-6)

Jacket - Levi
Hoodie (underneath jacket) - Nike
T-shirt - Uniqlo
Belt - Banana Republic
Nightie (worn as dress) - Charity shop, origin unknown
Boots - Dr Martins
