Remember when I told you I took WAY too many pictures at the Media Day of the Preview of the Dale Chihuly Exhibit at Botanical Garden?
Did I also mention I sort of inadvertently matched one of the installations in the exhibit?
OK so THIS happened:
Above: I didn't get the memo, but I did sort of match the Dale Chihuly Niijima Floats Installation
Above: Sunglasses: Foster & Grant, Jacket: Wilson's Leather, Blouse: Calvin Jeans, Jeans: Silver Jeans, Earrings: Let's just say they are 'Vintage' :-)
Above: Niijima Floats, spheres of intricate color inspired by Japanese glass fishing floats from the island of Niijima
Above: Niijima Floats, six-foot spheres of intricate color inspired by Japanese glass fishing floats from the island of Niijima
Above: I love that this boat just literally free floats, so the spheres catch different light and cast different shadows depending upon where the boat is when you photograph it. The day I was there it was super overcast, thankfully it didn't rain!
Above: These Butterfly picks were in the Gift Shop, and again they are kind of matching my outfit!
Above: OK so I may have been a bit 'Orange' obsessed that day!

Hahaha. That's so cool! Everyone probably though you were the most artistic minded person there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to visit! I'd love to go and I'm putting it on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteI love all of his artwork! He is so creative. I have a few of his art works at our tentacle garden it is probably one of my favorite things to see.
ReplyDeleteI have been a fan of his work for YEARS. He is so talented!!
ReplyDeleteI love it when your fashion screams "I came prepared" especially when it's not something that you planned ahead of time. Those are definitely the best moments.
ReplyDeleteIf I were in town, I would love to visit the Dale Chihuly Exhibit at the New York Botanical Gardens. I love his work. So colorful!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved Chihuly. How cool that you accidentally matched one of the exhibits!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Its super fun to find out that your outfit matches the colours in an exhibit! It must mean that you are in the know for what's cool and whats' not! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool place! I would love to visit here! Your outfit is awesome I love the colors and I think it is perfect you matched the exhibit!
ReplyDeleteI love that it floats freely so it will never look the same. What an amazing art exhibit!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the New York Botanical Gardens. I think your outfit looks great. You blended right in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely exhibit. Those spheres are really pretty in the photos, but I bet they look even more magical in person. Your outfit rocks too!
ReplyDeleteI would have LOVED to have visited the New York Botanical Gardens when I was there but we totally ran out of time (there is SO much to see!) I think I may have to go back like ASAP!
ReplyDeleteI love going to exhibits. I like this artist's artwork. I wish I lived closer, so I can visit.
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a fun outing. Love that you ended up matching the exhibit. You brighten up a gloomy day with all that color.
ReplyDeleteI think it's okay to match sometimes, well, you didn't really mean for it to be that way. I like your outfit though. It would be nice to go here and just enjoy all the artwork. I love that they're giving veterans free entrance.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I love orange color! Such a vibrant color that easily gets me to the right mood. Would love to visit this exhibit too!
ReplyDeleteI think you look beautiful though! It's not completely matching and I really like your outfit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great artist he is! If I am ever in the area on those dates, I'd love to see this exhibit. Oh, and your top matching some of the exhibits was cool, although I know you did not intend to do so. Glad that you were a good sport.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I was actually cute that your top matched some of the artwork. I am happy that you were able to find humor in the situation. I would love to visit the exhibit too. Hopefully I would be in the area at that time.
ReplyDeletehahaha That is way too funny. At the same time, it made for a great photo.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all cudos to the Botanical Gardens giving free entrance to Vets . I love Dale Chihuly's work thiers a great example of his work in the Borgata Atlantic City
ReplyDeleteNiijima Floats is so amazing! That is so colorful.I like the butterfly picks also. Those are cute and creative. Such a great ideas!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice place to visit. Your outfit and exhibit are totally matched. So colorful
ReplyDeleteI like going exhibits. It is very interesting to visit there, because we learn and we see the some tools used with our inherited parents!
ReplyDeleteLove that jacket! It's bright and colorful, just like the art! Great post!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving ALL of the bright colors! My kids would love this art exhibit because it combines two of their favorite things---balls and water!
ReplyDeleteI just love your outfit! I think it is so cool that your outfit matches the art. How cool!
ReplyDeleteThose Niijima Floats are gorgeous! And yes, they matched your gorgeous outfit. Not bad at all. :)
ReplyDelete-Lynndee
Just means you have a great eye for color and composition!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious. I love when stuff like this happens. That orange is a great color.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool that your outfit totally matched the art exhibit! That sounds like a place me and my husband would love visiting! It reminded me of our visit in Las Vegas a few years ago when we saw the beautiful Murano glass sculptures from Italy were shown in the hotel lobby where we stayed in.
