Hi, this is just a short post to introduce next week’s Style Imitating Art inspiration piece. Style Imitating Art {aka SIA} is hosted by Jen {Librarian for Life and Style}, Salazar {14 Shades of Grey}, and me. Every other Monday, one of us curates an art piece to use as style inspiration for the following week {host outfits are posted on the following Monday, with participant outfits posted on Wednesday}.

Salazar While researching the image, she learned that Jackson Pollack’s “…drip paintings are so pleasing to look at because they contain fractal patterns similar to those in nature, which I found fascinating (scientists even use fractal analysis to authenticate some Pollockesque paintings recently found – they turned out to be fake ones).”

THE CURATOR
This week’s inspiration piece was curated by Salazar {14 Shades of Grey}. She chose this image because she thought “the neutral color scheme and title make it an appropriate choice for September.”
Hmmmm, I know I have some neutrals in my closet that’ll fit perfectly with this theme. Now to choose what to wear…
What do you think you’ll wear? I can’t wait to see!
