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 by Kim of Fierce Fashion Blog.
INSPIRATION ART WORK
Garden Under Snow by Paul Gaugin
Kim chose this image because she likes “…like the serenity of the colors and even though it’s a still scene, there’s a lot of movement.” I see blues, browns, and creams, and even hints of green, rust, and yellow. What do you see? How about in the texture? What fabrics do you think can represent the movement in the image? Tweed, perhaps?
MY OUTFIT
Happy Monday. Hope you had a good and healthy weekend. Our weekend was uneventful, which is what we want. Especially now.
I’ve had this blouse in my closet since we moved to Louisiana, so about two years, and I think I’ve worn it twice. I’m not sure why. It’s really cute. Cute enough that I actually bought 3 versions of it. And it’s pretty comfortable. I also like that I could easily pair this with a blazer {if I were so inclined} or a cardigan {which I’m almost always inclined}. The jeans are super comfortable because they’re Laurie Felt and she knows her jeans. The flats are just plain cute. Not comfortable. Not uncomfortable. Just cute. Make sense?
Overall, I think this outfit is a good representation of the inspiration piece from the stripes to the colors to the textures. What do you think?
