I don't have much of an appreciation for Art. The most interest I've had in any painting is a toss up between Leda and the Swan or The Girl with the Pearl Earring, and that's only because they played a pivotal role in the plot of a novel or two I enjoyed. I guess I like my pictures painted through words. I don't like to guess at what the artist is saying, it is for the same reasons I don't enjoy poetry.

But I digress. My interest in art, despite having a great love of drawing (and winning a special prize at an exhibition of children's art at my favorite Aunt's art school at the age of 4), faded away with the mundane and  limiting instructions doled out by my inane Sixth Grade Art teacher. She was the absolute bane of my existence and the reason I didn't take a single art class until college. I deplore following techniques in art - how can something so subjective be taught? What would Picasso think?! 

I don't draw. I don't paint. But I do wear makeup and dress up in clothes I find aesthetically pleasing. So while you may have tried to repeatedly break my spirit by subtly threatening me with an A-, oh Art Teacher whose name escapes me, you can't take away my credit card.

Can I just say, I adore ZARA for their ability to "take inspiration" and produce pieces that are attainable to the masses? Brava.
