Style Imitating Art Twitter @DaenelT #StyleImitatingArt

Welcome to the first Style Imitating Art of 2020! I’m so happy to have you here. If you’re a regular, you’ll notice a few changes… I’ve created a new badge. I wanted something eye catching and complimentary to my blog. I created it using one of the templates available at PicMonkey. I’ve also added a new STYLING IDEAS section beneath the Inspiration Art Work area. I plan to use this section to give you styling ideas. You don’t have to follow my suggestions, I just thought it’d be fun to share thoughts on how to interpret the inspiration piece.

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 Kim at Fierce Fashion Blog.

INSPIRATION ART WORK

Fiber Art Is

Damunt de tu només les flors by Carles Delclaux Is

Kim chose this fabric art because she “…like{s} the use of hearts, as they are evocative of Valentine’s day.  I think the small swatches of plaid are fun, too.” You can find out more about the art work here.

STYLING IDEAS

Kim already mentioned the fun little plaid swatches, but look at all of those hearts! They’re in fiery oranges and reds. And purples. Do you see them? If you’re not into the hearts, you can play up the leaves, the stripes, and the abstract shapes. What about colors? Hmmm, purple and red are intense together. They make me think love and passion. The golds and lavenders are soft and feminine. And I think the blues are happy. So think about the mood you want to evoke. If it’s cold and rainy, do you want to wear bright and happy colors to offset the dreariness?
