Welcome to Style Imitating Art. I hope you’re visit means you’re planning to join us, because we’d definitely love to have you…
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 Salazar {14 Shades of Grey}.
INSPIRATION ART WORK
Salazar chose this image because she “watched a BBC mini-series called A Stitch in Time in which they recreate outfits from famous paintings (as in actually make the clothes, not just interpret them like we do with SIA), and this portrait is featured in this episode. She also wrote that this image gives a nod to St. Patrick’s Day.
STYLING IDEAS
First of all, isn’t this image fun and just so comforting? I mean, we always think of portraits as formal happenings. But, look, ol’ dude has kicked off his shoes and the pup is like “Why you spying?” LOL
Anyway, this image has the obvious colors of green, red, brown, and gold. But there are also plenty of textures: metallics, velvet, fur, and wood.
While everything seems heavy, there are definitely opportunities to go light and bright for Spring.
