| “Painting Number 2” by Franz Kline |
Rebooting my blog, starting fresh with a new name and attitude, does not mean I am giving up my favorite bi-weekly style challenge, Style Imitating Art.

I used my houndstooth scarf to capture the stark black and white colors and the fringe and the draping to play into the organic brush strokes. I kept to a neutral palette and androgynous clothing; using the angular lines of the moto vest to mimic the lines in the painting. I felt pretty freaking cool.
Nice! I liked reading about your inspiration and the feeling of angst and attitude. LOVING the attitude and coolness of your inspiration outfit! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Maybe it was the art. Maybe it was the constant Nirvana playing on my spotify...we may never actually know.
