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! I 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 me by Tuesday, October 7th 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…
I almost always choose something pretty…have you noticed that? I decided to find something a little different from my norm. I don’t really remember what I googled that led me to this artist, but it is totally unlike anything I’ve presented before. It’s going to be a challenge for me. I keep thinking one of these times, I’m going to have my outfit selected and then pick the art! Totally didn’t this time, you can believe that! But, the colors are definitely autumnal, and I find something really appealing about the different shapes and squiggles in it.

That one will be interesting!
I saw a documentary about af Klint once, but am definitely not claiming to understand what it’s all about although it was really fascinating.
Thanks, Cat! I have no idea what I’m going to do with this, but it will be fun! I wonder if I can find that documentary. I’m going to look.
It’s pumpkiny! I am excited to see what you pick.
Hahaha!! Maybe, I’ll buy a pumpkin Halloween costume! I have no idea what I’m going to do for this, but I thought it was really a cool painting.
We saw the big exhibit of Klint’s work at the Guggenheim several years ago. I’m glad that finally she is being recognized for her vast body of work. We’ve been trying to find somewhere to stream a movie based on her life (in Swedish), but so far we’ve struck out. I will enjoy seeing your outfit next week!
Thanks, Allison! I had never heard of her, and I can’t even tell you how I ended up finding her. But, all of her work is just mesmerizing. I’m just hoping I can do this piece of art justice!
This painting definitely has fall feels with the mustard-orange squash/pumpkins and the overall color scheme. I think this is going to be a relatively easy one for me this time!
Thanks, Sally! I’m going to struggle with this one, but I thought it was really fun!
Oh this one is going to be fun!! I can’t wait to see the outfits from this one!
Thanks, I think! I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do with this one, but it should be fun!
Oh boy; what pretty fall colors. Every time you all share an artwork I think that’s going to be so tough but you all always do such a great job pulling an outfit together.
Thanks, Joanne! I love the colors in this, but I do think it’s going to be a hard one to style! I’m trying not to think too much about it!
Like everyone else, I am looking forward to this one Marsha!
Thanks, Christie! I am, too! Hahaha! I have no idea at this point, but I can always manage to find something!
