Hello!

Welcome to Dressed To Match. I’m Michelle and I coordinate my outfits to match pieces of art!

When I was living in Downtown, Sacramento in 2012, I always admired a small mural of red poppies by J. Jerde outside Bloem, a great florist in Sacramento on 10th street. While browsing Chicwish recently, something I probably do too often, I stumbled upon their “Dreaming Of Hana Printed Prom Dress” which is remarkably similar to the mural! In this look I’ve paired the beautiful dress with my favorite pair of Stuart Weitzman sandals for an elegant look!

What I love most about the mural is the immediate patterning affect and the incredible likeness it has to tilework. The piece takes on a trompe l’oeil quality as it seems to peek through a “ripped” surface on the wall, adding vibrancy and richness to an otherwise mundane wall.

I chose to match the mural with this Hemant & Nandia dress, which is complete with fun tassels, the same ornate patterning, similar blue palette, and overall whimsy. Sometimes I shock myself with how well certain matches actually match… this one is no joke! 🙂 Oh! And that’s our gallery dog, Maggie, that I’m holding!
