“Les Muses” by Maurice Denis | Style Imitating Art

I am really excited for this next challenge!

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

Salazar chose this week’s artwork because it’s starting to get crisp where she lives, which is super rare considering the brevity of her fall season, so she wanted something autumnal before the winter arrives. The shades of ochre, brown, burgundy, and olive that dominate the painting fit the bill perfectly!

The Artwork

“Les Muses” by Maurice Denis

I love these autumn tones for style inspiration right now. The coolness of fall is settling in where I live as well and I seem to have an abundance of these rich autumnal shades in my current wardrobe as you can see below. Since all of those outfits would work well to represent this painting, my challenge will be creating something new. And I think I have the perfect thing!

If you want to join us with your own outfit inspired by the art to be featured in Salazar’s review post on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, please be sure to send your photos to 14shadesofgreyblog@gmail.com by 10:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, October 8, 2024.

Happy styling! 

Keeping it on the edge, 

Shelbee
