Sometimes when I am presented with a Style Imitating Art challenge, I end up creating more than one outfit. Then I choose the best one to share while the other ones end up getting lost in my photo archives.

As I was brainstorming topic ideas for today’s post, I kept coming up blank so I started scrolling through my old photo archives from last summer to see which outfits have been abandoned. I found these photos that I had taken for an SIA challenge from last June featuring “Suntan” by Françoise Gilot.

This yellow tie dye shirtdress was actually the original outfit I had styled for that challenge, but ultimately I was not pleased with the muted yellow for representing the artwork. I ended up wearing a black skater dress with a bright yellow ruana instead. Not only do I prefer the more saturated yellow of the ruana in the first outfit but I also prefer the silhouette of the skater style dress over the less shapely cut of this midi shirtdress.

Although this is not a “favorite” outfit by any means, it’s not a bad look and it illustrates my ever growing affection for shades of yellow. Yellow was never a color that I could wear without looking like I had a bad case of jaundice. However, as perimenopause is in full effect for me, I have noticed changes in my skin tone that are allowing me opportunities to wear a variety of yellow hues without appearing yellow myself.

Because this particular yellow is a softer muted shade, I think I might prefer it paired with other softer muted colors. But the outfit was inspired by the artwork which contains a palette of three clearly defined colors…yellow, black, and white. So I started with the dress and then added only black and white things…a black straw hat with a black and white band, a black scarf with a white dotted pattern, my black cowgirl boots, an ivory bucket bag, and black and ivory jewelry.

I am not going to share information about the art or the artist in this post because you can read that information in my original post from last summer. Actually, I am not going to share much more of anything except a few more photos. I am currently visiting my sister for the week but will be packing up the car to head home probably right now while you are reading this…if it is Friday morning when you are reading this. If it is Friday afternoon, then I am already home doing laundry and getting back to finishing the mudroom makeover.

I also have two fun outfit posts coming to you on Monday for our next Style Imitating Art challenge as well our July Songful Style challenge where Marsha, Suzy, and I will be sharing our outfits inspired by Cam‘s 2015 hit “Burning House”.
