About Style Imitating ArtWelcome to this edition of Style Imitating Art!
Style Imitating Art is hosted biweekly by Daenel~Living Outside the Stacks, Salazar~14 Shades of Grey and me. Style Imitating Art challenges us to look to create an outfit using art as inspiration. In
addition to colors, you may also want to look at textures, mood, style, genre. There are no "wrong" outfits, and you don't need to be literal.
The Inspiration
The current artwork selection is Children at the Beach by Maurice Prendergast.

What really caught my attention in this week's painting is the blue of the sky and water. I wasn't sure I would be able to capture this look with my outfit. I knew I didn't want to wear jeans.

I resisted the urge to use a turquoise necklace, because I did want a bit of a contrast. Since the girls in the artwork are wearing bonnets, the birthday-gift hat from my daughters seemed like the right choice. The peach lace trim was added by me over the original grosgrain one. My butterfly earrings bring a fun spring/summer element.
