Welcome to Style Imitating Art.
ABOUT STYLE IMITATING ART
Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar {14 Shades of Grey}, Terri {Meadow Tree Style}, 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. Participants submit their art inspired outfits with the curator by 10 PM Tuesday and, that Wednesday, the curator shares all of the submissions on her blog.
THE CURATOR
This week’s work of art was chosen by Salazar.
INSPIRATION ART WORK
“The Child’s Bath” by Mary Cassatt
MY OUTFIT
Sometimes when I see the inspiration pieces I’m not sure what I’m going to wear, not this time. My striped top immediately popped into my mind when I looked at the mother’s dress. I mean, look at the colors and the stripes and it’s a just a big ol’ yes!
Do you wear white jeans? I bought these a few years ago, but wasn’t sure how to wear them. I know, that seems weird because white literally goes with everything and we know I’m not a matchy-matchy person but every time I put them on I just felt blah. But the white in the inspiration painting really called for the white jeans. My goal is to wear them more this year, so I ended up putting together an inspiration board on Pinterest. If you need inspiration, feel free to check it out.
