#fashion #fancynancy #someonepleasecontactafashionmagazineeditoralready! by (me!) sandra





 

as previously mentioned, i am going to overcompensate this 20th year for not having blogged much about fashion for 19 years..

and i cannot write about fashion without shining a brighter light on the most fashion-creative person i know..    have ever known!

these few...   just these few pictures, demonstrate, but do not come close to capturing the 365 days of fancy nancy fashions each year..

the question i'd say she gets asked the most from us, her group of friends..

"is there any color you don't look great in?"

then, not so many questions really, just comments, compliments..
 
"you look beautiful!"     "that is so pretty on you!"    "i love that...    and this...  and how you put those together!"   

it is also worth repeating what sets fancy nancy apart from...     all the rest of us.

all the rest of us,  -we can look fashionable..   we can wear a pretty top, or find a beautiful dress, or add some jewelry, embellishments, get our nails and hair done professionally..    

what sets fancy nancy apart is that she so creatively LAYERS...    tops, blouses, appliques, scarves, belts, skirts, tights, shoes/boots, short sleeve, long sleeve, textures, colors, fabrics, hair accessories, PLUS fancy nails..   jewelry, etc.

i really do, relate to her creative fashion combinations..   i see her as getting dressed in the morning, the same way i create something from my studio 213..

my studio has fabric paints, bows, empty bottles, ribbon, strings, paper punches, pens, paintbrushes, random found objects, bottle caps, stencils..   long list

but when i go to make a mixed media art piece..   with no pre-planning, i just grab this from over there, and that from over here.. and start creating..


the process is a joy! and i am usually, more often than not, very pleased with the result..

from our conversations, i have learned this is true for fancy nancy too:  she doesn't necessarily pre-plan..   but when she gets ready, she already has acquired a variety of 'found objects' so to speak, and she grabs this blouse, and layers that with this..   and adds these tights, and uses this belt, and this hair accessory.. and then a vest... 

and somehow, the magical, improv combination of clothes and accessories is its own masterpiece..
and looks amazing..

she will create with an occasion as the inspiration:  halloween, st patricks..  and love how, for the most recent super bowl party, she wore the colors of both teams,  -some red and green..

and the same joy i experience when   -watching jackie bernardi, and seeing her creations on canvases..

the same joy! i experience when seeing the result of my own creative mixed media projects..

i experience that joy when i look at fancy nancy's mixed media fashion creations!

i'm just waiting for her to be recognized, celebrated by an official fashion magazine editor...

if anyone should be...     -write.

and i do know zara is one of her favorite stores...    so maybe, let's contact them, shall we..

*****

i love fancy nancy, her creative fashions, and the whole george family..

huge blessing in our lives!    hallelujah, thank you Jesus & amen
