About Style Imitating Art

Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey, Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge, and Marsha of Marsha in the Middle. 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, Shelbee, or Marsha 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

Marsha chose this week’s artwork. She has been intrigued by the stories about Henry VIII and his six wives ever since she watched the PBS special The Six Wives of Henry VIII in 1970. Although she has always favored Anne Boleyn of all the wives, Marsha is also impressed by Katherine Parr’s character. So in honor of Katherine, Marsha has chosen a beautiful portrait of her as our outfit inspiration for this round.

The Artwork

Katherine Parr by Unknown Artist

I love the deep, rich colors and the elegance of 16th century royalty, but I have absolutely no idea how I am going to interpret this stunning painting into a modern day Shelbee outfit. May the closet magic work its magic!

If you are feeling creative and want to style your own outfit inspired by this portrait of Katherine Parr to be featured in Marsha’s review post on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, please be sure to submit your photos to her at mlrbanks57@gmail.com by 10:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. 

Happy styling! 

Keeping it on the edge, 

Shelbee
