Gallery of Style: “The Turning Road”

The Turning Road by Andre Derain

I have a confession to make. I had this dress in mind for a challenge, but I didn’t know I would find the absolute perfect piece for it! I was actually looking for a Fauvist artist and found The Turning Road. I think I got really lucky because, if you recall, I used ChatGPT to find the artist. Then, I went looking at the art they produced. If you want to read the post with all the info and more information about my look, you can find it here. I am so happy to be able to share several looks with you! So without further ado, here we go!

Gallery of style…

First up is Salazar! She says, “I chose these burnt-orange trousers as they are the brightest of my cold-weather trousers, and paired them with a colorful plaid waistcoat and lace-trimmed top to mimic the sky, and my tree brooch for the trees.”

Shelbee says, “I recently purchased this summer dress during the end of season clearance sales and the colors and wavy lines were perfect to represent this painting. I layered on a very colorfully striped wool blend cardigan sweater to make the summer dress weather appropriate and to add more vibrant colors that reflect the artwork. I had originally planned to wear my white cowgirl boots with this outfit but then I scored these awesome blue oxfords last week on a thrifting adventure. They were the perfect finishing touch to bring in some dark blue that appears on the tree trunks. Both the painting and the outfit it inspired make my heart happy!”


Sally says, “This chaotic and exuberantly colorful painting called for a wild print for its sartorial interpretation.  I didn’t have any print clothes that felt quite right, but I thought this multi-color scarf with an abstract print worked well.  Since red and blue were the dominant colors of the painting to my eye, I wore a red modern twin set over dark wash blue jeans for my base outfit.  Then I accessorized with cheerfully bright accessories – leather earrings, striped sneakers, and a DIY beaded memory wire bracelet.”

Here is Suzy! She says, “I really wish I had more deep colours for this challenge lol. But I decided to go with an everyday casual look, so I picked out the denim colour of the painting with my skinny jeans, and the deep orange with an oversized orange shirt and the other colours in my super cute Frida Kahlo tee (a recent Vinted find). It’s the kind of outfit I’d wear day to day for comfort!”

And, finally, here is my look. I was really please with how well the print of the muumuu matched the art!

And, that’s a wrap for this Gallery of Style!

  2. What a great way to see how one piece of art inspires our outfits so differently.

  3. How fun to look at everyone’s interpretation of this piece. The colors are stunning! Nice work all.
