Frida

Top, Boathouse. Shorts, Gentle Fawn. Shoes, Pink Martini. Purse, Lulus.

An endless source of inspiration Frida Kahlo has been to me. Not only in art but in life as well. However, the only tangible tangible item I had to represent her is a book of her life’s story and work. I once saw someone wearing a shirt with Frida Kahlo’s self portrait on it and ever since then I had wanted one. But I didn’t even know where to begin looking for one.

After that strangely enough a few months later my boyfriend and I were randomly walking through Upper Canada Mall when I spotted one out the corner of my eye. Never even noticed that store before as it was geared more towards a skater style. That being said I was real glad that we just so happened to be there that day and had walked by. I also really liked the vibrant colours of the shirt and the portrait itself was beautiful. Needless to say they only had a few Frida shirts left and I just so happened to grab the last size small. Meant to be I suppose.

Worn here with a pair of chambray denim shorts and some statement bohemian bardot jewelry. And of course a flower in my hair as inspired by Frida Kahlo.
