Colour shuffling - inspirations from the past

I love the fact that instead of the white fragments on the skirt's pattern designer has used the pale beige. A typical feature of 60's - 80's era. This nostalgic and rather psychological effect gives the outfit a hint of pensiveness and thereby withholds it from the roller-coaster of aggressive rage of colour-smashing.

Although the picture fails to deliver the precise colours, it is still very much dynamic and bright.

Looking at this beautiful flare skirt brings me back to the childhood. My Godmother had the funky curtains in the kitchen to hide the closet section where the rubbish bin used to live. The fabric's print was very much like the one on the left. I always called them 'nuts' to myself. And what about the spherical 'nuts' lamps everyone (including my family) had in those days.

The National Front Museum in Latvia still has got one.
