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.
INSPIRATION ART WORK
Kim chose the mask because “…in TX we are pretty much required to wear masks everywhere”. We’re under the same mandate here in Louisiana.
MY OUTFIT
You guys, 2020 has officially worn me out. Between the pandemic, the social/cultural/political upheavals, and the personal losses, I’m just over it. Right now, my saving graces are my faith and running.
Yes, I started running again. I had to, I needed space to just block out life. Now I allot myself 30 minutes for a run. For me, it’s not about distance, it’s about time. So, how are you taking care of you?
Please tell me you’re wearing your mask and washing your hands, you know, doing all the right things…
So this week’s outfit has been noodling in my head for a while but I wasn’t sure I’d ever wear it. The sheer layer is actually part of a dress, but I’ve never worn it that way. I’ve always been pretty self conscious of my arms, but with all that’s going on, those are the least of my concerns. So I decided to give the outfit a go.
Since I was just hanging around the house, I wore flat sandals, but if I were going out, I think wedges would look cute too.
Bleu kept popping into my photos, so I figured she wanted to be on the blog so here she is…
