Chambray Shirt Sequin Tank Trouser Jeans and Wine Wedges {living outside the stacks} #StyleImitatingArt

Hi, how was your weekend? Ours was OK. We didn’t do too much. A bit of grocery shopping, that’s about it. It’s been rainy and cold here, so we didn’t really feel like going anywhere. I can’t wait for Spring to arrive. I don’t mind the rain, I do mind the cold AND the rain though. But, what are you gonna do, right?

ABOUT STYLE IMITATING ART

Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. My main tip for participating is not to just look at the colors but look at the textures, think about complimentary colors, etc. In other words, you don’t have to be literal your interpretation. It’s all about looking at the items in your closet in new and creative ways — mixing colors and patterns and just having fun.

INSPIRATION ART WORK

Ali Ibn Hamzeh Shrine in Shiraz Iran by Salazar #StyleImitatingArt

Ali Ibn Hamzeh Shrine in Shiraz, Iran by Salazar

Salazar  took this picture of the Ali Ibn Hamzeh Shrine during her vacation to Shiraz, Iran. Isn’t it absolutely beautiful? You can read more about the shrine here.

This image provides so many opportunities: greens, golds, blacks, browns, sequins gasp, and embroidery.

What do you think you’ll wear? I can’t wait to see!

THE CURATOR

This week’s inspiration piece was curated by Salazar from 14 Shades of Grey. Salazar’s blog is all about her attempt at adding more color to her life and wardrobe.

MY LOOK

I wasn’t sure where I was gonna go with the inspiration piece, I just knew I wanted to do something different. So I grabbed my sequin tank and built my outfit around it. I added the necklace {a mash up of pieces I’ve collected over the years} for a little, I don’t know, sophistication.
