Style Imitating Art: Spring

I finally got my act together and was able to participate in Style Imitating Art.  This week's inspiration, as chosen by Jess, of Animated Cardigan, was this stained glass window:

It is, appropriately, titled "Spring" and was designed by John La Farge.  Gorgeous, right?


As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed something blue and floral.  Luckily for me, I have something blue and floral:

I thought this print and color of this vintage dress was perfect for the challenge:

And, of course, it's not warm enough for a dress alone, so I added an olive jacket, some blue tights and ankle boots.

Dress: vintage, thrifted (similar)   Jacket: LOFT
Belt: thrifted (similar) Tights: Target  Boots: Lucky Brand (similar)

Are the blue tights perhaps a bridge too far?  Short answer, no.  Long answer, I figured that blue tights were better than having blue legs.  From the cold.  Because it's freezing.


Happy Tuesday, All!

SIA: Erte: NEC

Today I'm participating in the SIA (Style Imitating Art) Challenge.  Here is the piece of art, as chosen by Salazar, of 14 Shades of Grey:

It is Spring Rain, by Erté.


And here is my interpretation:

It is, sadly, NEC (Not Even Close).

I really, really wanted to participate this week because I love the inspiration picture & I hadn't participated in awhile.  But, when I was going through my closet trying to put something together, I realized that I don't have any lavender (I settled for plum) and I only own two pieces in green and they are bright green and otherwise all wrong.

So, I went with what I had.  Navy, plum and aqua.  And orange.  Of course I had orange!

Skirt & Blouse: thrifted, vintage  Sweater: Target  Belt: LOFT  Shoes: Seychelles

I have to admit that I was pretty down about my outfit being NEC, but then I spent a couple hours with Jen from Librarian for Life and Style and she made it all better!

Thanks, Jen!  And thank you, Salazar, for hosting SIA this week!


Happy Monday, All!
