ABOUT STYLE IMITATING ART

Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar {14 Shades of Grey}, Kim {Fierce Fashion Blog}, and me. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday one of us selects an inspiration image and we each post the image on our blogs. The following Monday we share our art inspired outfits. And that Wednesday, the curator shares all of the submissions on her blog.

THE CURATOR

This week’s image was chosen by by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey.

INSPIRATION ART WORK

Janaina Mello Landini. Ciclotrama 

Salazar chose this image because she liked “…the contrast between the delicate black ropes and the strong gold frames.”

MY OUTFIT

This dress. There are very few items that I stalk because I figure if it’s meant to be, it will be. But this dress… I wanted this dress. It’s stunning online, but in person? It’s breathtaking.

It’s a little bit Victorian, slightly boho, and a heck of a lot of kick butt. And it has pockets! POCKETS!!!!!!
When I originally tried this dress on, I paired it with the nude sandals because I thought the dress was edgy enough that it didn’t need any additional oomph. You can see the original version down below.

I was wrong, and The Hubs was right.

I opted not to wear a lot of jewelry with this dress because I wanted the dress to be the focus. However, this dress could easily be paired with layers of faux pearls and silver links and a ton of bracelets. Since I plan to wear this dress over and over and over again, that look will definitely make its way on the blog.
