Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last year, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on our blogs. Think of it as fashion meets art museum! Anyone and everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in on the fun. You don’t have to be a blogger to participate, either! Salazar selected our inspiration artwork this week.
How it works…
Here are the details: Every other Monday, one of us will select a piece of art. That is shared via all three co-hosts’ blogs. On the following Monday, all three share their looks on their blogs. If you choose to participate, send a photo to the curator for that particular week. You, as well as the other participants, will be featured on the curator’s post that Wednesday. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! If you decide to play along this time, please send your photo to Salazar by Tuesday, September 23rd at 10:00 pm EST to be included. I hope you will join us! I think this could be the best way to start something new! Remember, you don’t have to be a blogger to be a part of this. You can snap a photo and send it in. We love to have readers join in on the fun, too.
Why…
Salazar says, ”It looks a bit summery, but as it’s still stupidly hot over here, I don’t feel like busting out my fall palette just yet. Also, it feels like cheating because the lady in the painting basically has an entire outfit for us to copy (right down to her shoes!), but my artworks have been pretty tough to interpret lately, so I wanted something simpler this round.“

What a pretty painting … and what a big dress! 😉 Can’t wait to see what you do with this one.
Thanks, Cat! I already have an idea! It really is a big dress, isn’t it?
I love her shoes! I also want to know what she might be reading.
Oh, good point, Rosie! I may have to include a book!
That is a pretty one!
Thanks, Joanne!
I love this one!!
Isn’t it gorgeous?
Oh I can already imagine you in a dress that looks similar to the one in the painting! Looking forward to seeing it.
Thanks, Nancy! It might not be exact, but I have an idea already!
What a delightful concept, pairing fashion with art is such an inspiring way to see creativity from two perspectives at once. I love how accessible it is, letting both bloggers and readers participate, and the focus on playful interpretation makes it so engaging. I just shared a new post.
Thanks, Melody! I will try to get over to your blog this week. I can’t subscribe for some reason. It is so much fun combining art and fashion. You should join us!
