Psychedelic_saffron has an obvious knack for audacious mash-ups of authentic 60s hypnotica. It’s folkloric chic… exactly what Dorothy would be wearing if she’d opted for Oz over Kansas, just like we all hoped she would.
Question: What band do you guys think would make a good soundtrack for traipsing atop gold bricks in this outfit, partying with Munchkins?
I say Architecture In Helsinki, my friend Barrie thinks Pink Floyd.
a) I love the phrase “folkloric chic.”
b) I love those shoes with the black tights.
c) I ALWAYS hoped Dorothy would stay in Oz. Partying with Pink Floyd as her background music. Alice should’ve stayed in Wonderland too.
I’m thinking Asobi Seksu.
just dropping in to leave a comment because I can’t find a contact email on your site :-/
I notice that you ride an awesome road bike. There are a lot of bikes on fashion sites and blogs but they are mainly vintage cruisers. Not that there’s anything wrong with that… I used to own me one of those but now I have a great road bike that I use to get around hilly Austin. My question for you is about style while en velo. It’s easy to wear skirts, dresses, and even hills while riding a cruiser, but what about when you ride a road bike to get further, faster? What’s your outfit of choice? I still want to look cute without getting too sweaty. And I can’t wear shorts at my work – which is terrible in Austin during the summer!
any style tips? -kristen
This is awesome! I think it’s pretty daring to put green and red together but she doesn’t come off like christmas at all! PS. I think the soundtrack would be Donovon all the way :~)
I’d blast Cibo Matto in Oz!
As for the soundtrack, most definitely Santogold’s self-titled album.
The Hush Sound, definitely.
eee what a cute handkerchief-thingy!
i didn’t understand why dorothy would leave oz, either. or why alice seemed so bemused in wonderland <3
oh i didn’t even see barrie’s comment!
great minds think alike
Architecture in Helsinki for sure!
Maybe also The Bird and The Bee
love the colours and the bow
Brilliant! You described her perfectly.
This is so lovely
She needs some Fairport Convention or some Incredible String Band for SURE.
This is cute, love the neck tie thing
My first choice was Kraftwerk… but it seems too cold and electronic for someone as quirky and colorful… Maybe Le Tigre!!!! I can picture her dancing her butt off… YAY!!!
eve is the only one who gets the music right..
Hey, this is psychedelic_saffron, as pictured above — I’m really honoured that you chose to blog my outfit, and it’s encouraging to see how well received it was. Thanks for all the great comments, everyone! As for a soundtrack, a couple of you definitely hit the mark. Dononvan is seriously my favourite artist of all time, and I also adore Fairport Convention and The Incredible String Band! Anything psychedelic goes, really, where both clothing and music are concerned. Thanks again!
