Next up for our art inspired style 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

It was Marsha’s turn to choose the artwork. In her words, “I swear I wasn’t looking for an Impressionist, but this painting just popped for me! I love the colors and the model, but, most of all, I love the feeling this painting conveys…peace and contentment.”

The Artwork

“The Basket of Flowers” by Frederick Carl Frieseke

I love this painting for all the same reasons Marsha does. It is very soothing, peaceful, and calm and it makes my heart smile just a little bit brighter than it already smiles. I have the perfect preloved April Cornell dress for this challenge that I know is going to make Marsha smile. Now if it would just stop raining, I could take some photos of my perfect preloved April Cornell dress and send one to Marsha at mlrbanks57@gmail.com by Tuesday, June 18, 2024, to be included in her review post on Wednesday, June 19, 2024. You are all welcome to join us with your own outfit inspired by this lovely painting.

Happy styling! 

Keeping it on the edge, 

Shelbee
