Style Imitating Art!

The Mysterious Garden by Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh

Style Imitating Art…

It’s time for another round of Style Imitating Art! A few years ago, 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! Shelbee 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 Shelbee by Tuesday, October 6th 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…

Shelbee wrote, “I’ve chosen The Mysterious Garden, a 1911 watercolor and ink on vellum by British/Scottish artist Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh. I found this work in an article about overlooked masterpieces and it really spoke to me.” I love this, and I hope it speaks to me when I go looking for an outfit!

  1. I absolutely love her work (and that of “The Four” in general, I always wanted to bead loom something big inspired by their work, but managed only two small pieces)!! What a great choice.
