This week for Style Imitating Art, we are welcoming a new host called Terri! It's really lovely to have a new host and if you had time between now and then to put together an outfit (even a flatlay of clothes you would choose to wear would do) inspired by this painting, it would be lovely to welcome her to the job by having lots of entries for her inaugural post.
She chose that wonderful, well-known painting, The Girl with the Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.
I'm very happy to have the chance to dress up inspired by this outfit! There's some obvious colours here, opulent fabrics, hair accessory chances, jewellery chances and the chance to do something totally off the ball but if you can justify your choices, I say DO it! It's much more interesting to see a slightly less obvious interpretation!
Here's my outfit:
If you think that you could rustle together an outfit, send your picture, here's what Terri would like you to do:
Send me your picture of your SIA inspired outfit along with a small blurb on how you were inspired to meadowtreestyle@gmail.com by January 12th. I’ll share the submissions on my blog on Wednesday January 13th.
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.
You've got till tomorrow night!
