Mary Cassatt for this Week’s Style Imitating Art

About Style Imitating Art

Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey, Daenel of Living Outside the Stacks and me. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday one of us selects an inspiration image and we each post the image on our blogs. The following Monday we share our art-inspired outfits. The following Wednesday, the curator shares all of the submissions on her blog.

This Weeks Curator

Today, Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey is the curator.

This Week’s Inspirational Image

“The Child’s Bath” by Mary Cassatt

She picked this painting because,”It’s a lovely, tender scene, and there are a lot of colors and patterns to interpret, from the stripes of the woman’s dress to the floral carpet and background. I was saving it for Mother’s Day, but then I realized that my week to host didn’t fall on Mother’s Day, so here it is anyway.”

Will You Join the Fun?

I hope this art inspires you to create a look and that you will join us. Send a photo of your SIA-inspired outfit along with a small blurb on how you were inspired to Salazar whose email is 14shadesofgreyblog@gmail.com by June 1st. She will share the submissions on her blog on Wednesday, June 2nd.

Anyone can participate and you certainly do not have to have a blog.

If you do share your inspirations on Instagram use the hashtag #StyleImitatingArt so we know you are there. You can also tag us in the images. Our Instagram names are: @terrigardner_meadowtree, @daenelt and @14shadesofgrey.

Take care and create on!
