She started her journey in November as a challenge for all those who didn't believe in her appeal and infinite possibilities, she faced the Canadian snow, the Australian sea and the New Zealander wind and now she's finally with me in Italy.
I illustrated her as the animal shelter imagined by Melanie in her amazing tribute to the skirt, the animals are a penguin, a cat hanging by its claws and a dog, I represented them after their long travel, enjoing hospitality around the world.

Helga sent me some beautiful presents with the skirt
My new favourite bag made by her, a necklace, lots of bracelets, a hearts printed scarf and an amazing body moisturiser from New Zealand.
Here is me with the yellow skirt in my garden
I'm wearing
Shirt: customized The Velvet Underground and Nico shirt from Etsy
Skirt: Travelling Yellow Skirt
Hat: Vintage
Hat 2: Vintage
Necklace and bag: made by Helga
Brooch and bangles: Krista & antique market
I've added the Andy Warhol's banana on the skirt
and now she's ready to fly to Tami in California!!!
If you are interested read the rules on Melanie's blog!!
You look stunning!! I love yellow and I love the length of this skirt, so long and oversized, my favourite!! And the bright top you paired it with is perfect, balances the brightness well!! Makes me think of spring more and more!! I hope you are doing well sweetness!! Have a marvellous week xoxox <3 LOVE
ReplyDeleteSquee, I LOVE this!!! Adding the Velvet Underground banana is an excellent notion if I may say so! The blue of the top really makes the yellow pop, or it could be the other way around? Not sure, anyway, it looks fantastic on you dear. Your illustration and the handmade bag are fab too xxxx
ReplyDeleteWhat fun project. I wish I had the time. Maybe I'll do something like this when I finish school. :)
ReplyDeleteWooo hooo! I am so ready for the Traveling Yellow Skirt Freak Show ... Watch out world.

As always your illustrations are a feast for my eyes! I love everything you create my dear! You are a gorgeous butterfly out in your garden frolicking in this bit of traveling sunshine! Your Velvet Underground banana tee is just the right bit of fun and with your new fabulous handmade bag from Helga and your furry hat you are picture perfect! I love that you added a bit of you to the skirt too! I have been thinking of you a lot lately sending you love and wishing we loved closer. These pictures make me want to eat cookies and drink lemonade!
ReplyDeleteI love you more than ever!
XXOO
I love that yellow skirt and its journey !
ReplyDeleteHurrah! What a perfect post. I love that this skirt is on this trip.xxxx
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fab idea!
ReplyDeleteMelanie is deliciously artistic in her bonkers red hat and wonderful coffin heels.
Sarah nails the windswept Australian beach-babe look in her sexaciously customized Tee.
Helga is adding Gothic drama with her backdrop and magnificent black hat.
You've added POP to the proceedings...brilliant!
You couldn't find a better Top to mixed that skirt with, the yellow banana ties in awesomely!
You add your artistic panache in also teaming it with a fabulous embellished furry hat...I like the floppy one too but the furry is my fave.
Looking forward to see what Tami comes up with once this well traveled piece of skirt hits California.
I love the illustration too, you are so talented...xXx
I love this post.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your painting of the creatures sheltering under the Travelling Yellow Skirt, like a crazy yellow circus tent but the animals are having a break from performing!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have styled the skirt brilliantly with the Velvet Underground t-shirt and the two different hats. I love that you added the banana!
Gorgeous goodies from Helga too, that bag is a beauty. So are YOU!
PS. Do you happen to know where the skirt is going after Tami? xxxx
Just discovered it is going to Amber of Butane Anvil after Tami, then on to Shelley of Forest City Fashionista, and then (I hope) ME! Excited! xxxx
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful!!! I love it with the Velvet Underground top and the hat!! Nice touch adding the banana!!!
ReplyDeleteBecky :)
This is such an awesome idea! The skirt itself is so beautiful and lively. And you look beautiful in it! (PS - I'm sooo jealous that you've been to Scotland. It's my dream!)
ReplyDeleteLookin gorgeous in the famous yellow skirt.
ReplyDeleteI adore your furry hat and bag!
Oh! Where to start? I'm thrilled to see you in the Yellow Skirt! It's like Dr. Zhivago meets Banana (photo with fur hat) or The Factory meets Banana with the floppy hat. And you illustration is brilliant! So kind of you to host a little tea party for our animal friends. And the map in the background... You've depicted everything that this skirt stands for. Mwah. I'm so glad you joined the Freak Show. Helga's gifts are also wonderful. This skirt must be vibrating with good vibes now.
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow traveling skirt! It's great to see so many ladies wear it in so many different ways.
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely beautiful and have totally done that delicious skirt justice after the legends of Melanie, Sarah and Helga. I love your illustration with the animals having a little tea party under the skirt and of course, how you've styled it. The bejewelled Cossack hat, the floppy hippy hat, the Andy Warhol banana and even better, the Edie Pop alternative.
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero. xxxx
I was just thinking today, "I wonder where the travelling skirt will turn up next" and here she is with you!! What a beautiful post, your illustration of the animal tea party is so, so perfect my dear:)). The puppy has eaten all the cream cakes and fallen asleep:). Could you possibly be any more beautiful?????? And it's lovely to see you outside, shocking the neighbours and wildlife out of their winter slumber "wake up mofo's it's nearly spring!!!". Helga has sent you a parcel of total gorgeousness, I LOVE the bag so much and that skirt DEFINITELY needed a Warhol banana! xoxoxoxoxooxox
ReplyDeleteHoly awesomeness - you are BEAUTIFUL in the travelling yellow skirt! I love watching how we all put our stamp on it - it is so absolutely YOU here, as much as it was ABSOLUTELY Helga... and me... and Melanie. I love this skirt so much.
ReplyDeleteYour artwork with the sheltering animals is absolutely exquisite - i LOVE it so much. Why do we all live so far away from each other? And aren't we LUCKY that we found each other!
Love your beautiful bones, now send me that jumper. Thanks. Sarah xxxxx
love your style with the fur hat the most! xxx
ReplyDeleteYou look sooooooo beautiful! I love the spewmint green Velvet Underground top with the yellow. It looks stunning on you. I love the furry hat and the Helga bag... and the floppy hat, that looks amazing. These pictures really are beautiful. xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteYou are a beautifully creative addition to the traveling skirt stories. I love that you paired it with the banana top! They go so well together. Both iconic items. ;)

You look wonderful in the travelling skirt, and I love how you've styled it with that Warhol touches and the sexy fur hat. Gorgeous! Such a cute cartoon you drew too, maybe it should be the skirt's logo.... I am so jealous of that skirt's adventures, it really has the wanderlust...
ReplyDeleteHow, this seems like such an amazing project, you look amazing and I love the creative way you chose to style it!

I've never loved yellow, but this is like sunshine!!! Absolutely radiant!! You look gorgeous and I love the t shirt, hat etc. with it. I desperately want to participate too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love your version of the yellow skirt! I don't look good in yellow. At all. But I think I am being enticed into wanting to get in on this!

OOO, somehow I missed your rendition of the yellow traveling skirt. Your look is fabulous, especially with the fur hat. The turquoise works great to compliment the yellow too. And what more could a yellow skirt want than a banana from Warhol?! Way to go.
