Cats Golfing by Louis Wain | Style Imitating Art
Next up for Style Imitating Art…
About Style Imitating Art
Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey, Terri of Meadow Tree Style, and Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday, one of the hosts, acting as presenter, selects an inspiration image that they will each post on their blogs. The following Monday, each host shares her art inspired outfit. Participants are invited to submit their art inspired outfits to the presenter by 10:00 p.m. EST on the Tuesday following the hosts’ art inspired outfit posts. The following day, Wednesday, the presenter will share all of the submissions on her blog.
You don’t have to be a blogger to join either! In fact, you don’t even have to join but you can still use the art to inspire an outfit just for the sake of trying something different. If you want to share your inspired outfit, we invite you do so on Instagram or any other social media platform that you prefer. Just be sure to tag Salazar, Terri, and Shelbee or use #TeamLOTSStyle and #StyleImitatingArt so the hosts know you have joined. Go have some fun in your closets and join the SIA challenge next week!
This Week’s Presenter
It is Salazar’s turn to choose the art but before we get to her choice, I want to let you all know that this is the last SIA challenge for the year. We will be taking a short break for the holidays and will return with Terri’s pick of artwork sometime in January. In the meantime, enjoy this final challenge of 2022 and have a joyous holiday season!
The Artwork
Cats Golfing by Louis Wain
Louis Wain was an English artist best known for his paintings of anthropomorphic and psychedelic cats. Ever since Salazar watched The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (with Benedict Cumberbatch as Wain) earlier this year, she has wanted to feature his work for SIA. With 2023 being the Year of the Cat (technically, it is the Year of the Rabbit, but in Vietnam it is changed to the Cat), Salazar thought it would be the perfect time to feature Wain’s famous golfing cats! I am going to try to watch that film this week because it looks fascinating.
I have some sartorial ideas swimming around in my brain already and I am really excited to style something for this fun artwork.
If you want to join us for this week’s challenge and be featured with your art inspired outfit in Salazar’s review post on December 14, 2022, be sure to submit your photos to her at 14shadesofgreyblog@gmail.com by 10:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, December 13, 2022.
Happy styling!
Keeping it on the edge,

OMG these cats crack me up! The outfits are 100% up Salazar’s alley. It’ll be interesting to see what we come up with!

I think it is so silly and cute, too, Sally! And I thought the same thing about Salazar…she has the perfect wardrobe for this one! I am a little stumped but I’ll come up with something! I am excited to see all the outfits.

Hehehe, thanks so much, Marsha! I have no idea what to do here yet! I used to have some plaid pants that would have been perfect but they got moved out recently. I need to stand in my closet room and let the magic find me!
