Style Imitating Art!

I recently joined Salazar and Shelbee as a co-host for 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. 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 is our curator this week, and she definitely chose an interesting piece of art!

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, please send your photo to Shelbee by Tuesday, April 9th at 10:00 pm EST to be included. Please, please, please 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.

How I do it…

I usually look closely at the piece of art, looking for objects, graphic or geometric qualities, colors, themes. Then, I just let it percolate in my head for a few days. Next, I go into my closet and see what springs out at me. Sometimes, the inspiration comes as I’m lying in bed. You just never know. But, I have to admit…this one is throwing me! I think it’s the woman in green…you know the one I mean! Trust me on this one…there will be no “wardrobe malfunctions!” Shelbee does an amazing job of adding props, if appropriate, to the artwork. Salazar almost always has a unique brooch or waistcoat that works! I often rely on scarves to add certain elements. But, honestly, there’s no way to do this wrong! Please do think about joining in on the fun! There are so many colors and textures you can play with! I think you’d love it! I really do.
