Bonsoir!
Hope all is going well with you!
I really like this blog challenge as it is educational as well as creative! The premise is that Salazar, Jen or Erin will post a picture of a piece of artwork (this can be painting, sketch, sculpture, installation) fortnightly and then you have a week to come up with an outfit or a flat lay of clothes that is inspired by that painting- you can be as loose or literal as you feel inspired to be.
Here's two weeks worth.
Salazar selected this painting 3 weeks ago: |
| John Singer Sargent’s “Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose”. |
Here's the outfit I put together.
I choose the Miss Patina blouse to represent the light colours of the girls' dresses and particularly my collar was a nod to the frilly colours of the girls. The skirt (from TK Maxx I think) represented the roses and the floral element - although I have a white dress with pale roses on, I wanted to choose the darker shades of the skirt to represent the time of day in the painting. The River Island belt, which is made up of fabric flowers was also acknowledgement of the importance of the florals. If you click the link on Salazar's name, you can see how the others interpreted it.
Jen is in charge of this week's picture:
 |
| Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s “A Young Girl Reading“ |
 |
I wore my mustard White Stuff cardie (present from J and WOMOTM) as a nod to her yellow dress and the white lacy tunic (local shop) as a nod to her ruffled blouse. I had the perfect ruffle-necked blouse but couldn't find it.
Jen will post everyone's outfits tomorrow at the link above.
If you'd like a creative challenge, why not join in next time. It's very informal and everyone is welcome- men included!
