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 me.

INSPIRATION ART WORK

The Pool at Jas de Bouffan

The Pool at Jas de Bouffan by Paul Cézanne

I chose this image because it’s outside and it’s calming and pretty.

STYLING IDEAS

There are so many options here: pastels, neutrals, bright colors, and muted colors. You can also play up textures with cottons, silks, and linens. What ideas do you have? Please share in the comments.

Mike {Post Cards}

You guys, I’m so happy to see Mike again. And I love love love that he took his picture outside to mimic the scenery of the inspiration image. Mike really evokes the spirit of the image – and, dude, that shade of blue {turquoise} is perfect on you!

THE CO-HOSTS

Make sure you stop by and visit my co-hosts at 14 Shades of Grey, and Fierce Fashion Blog. You’ll definitely want to see their interpretations as well. Make sure you come back on Wednesday to see my co-hosts’ outfits.

Salazar wrote that she “…picked pieces with textures and colors that remind me of the painting.” I think she did a great job. The colors are absolutely perfect. And, as always, that brooch is on point.

I told Kim this before, but I’m gonna say it here – those jeans are fabulous. And I love the peachy brown tones of that jacket. It’s skin warming, know what I mean?
