“Frida Kahlo and Her Pet Deer Granizo” by Katherine Quinn | Style Imitating Art

Next challenge, please. 

Style Imitating Art

Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey, and Marsha of Marsha in the Middle, and Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw fashion inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday, one of the hosts, acting as presenter, selects an inspiration image that will be shared by all three of us on our blogs. The following Monday, each host will share 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, Shelbee, or Marsha or use #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 was my turn to choose our inspiration artwork for this round. Since March is International Women’s Month, I wanted to continue Marsha’s trend from last week of choosing a female artist. Actually, I have chosen a female artist 4 out of the last 6 times that I picked the art. So for this one, I chose a female artist’s depiction of another female artist! Yay women!

The Artwork

“Frida Kahlo and Her Pet Deer Granizo” by Katherine Quinn

I absolutely love the bright saturated color palette of this whimsical illustration. It is screaming springtime to me and I am so ready for it!

If you want to join us with your own outfit inspired by this artwork, go get creative in your closet, snap a photo of your outfit, and send it to me at shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com by 10:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, and I will feature your photo in my gallery post on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. We would love to see more creative folks join our artsy challenges so feel free to share the inspiration and an invitation with your friends. 

Happy styling!

Keeping it on the edge, 

Shelbee
