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}.

THE CURATOR
This week’s inspiration piece was curated by Jen from Librarian for Life and Style. Jen selected this piece because she “…loves the colors, the hats, and the variety of patterns and colors and textures when you look close. For me, the feeling and colors capture this time of the year. The scene also depicts family and/or friends, which feels appropriate as we look toward Thanksgiving in the U.S. next week.” I totally agree!
What do you think you’ll wear? I can’t wait to see!
