Using this painting as the focal inspiration for outfits really demonstrates how you can start with a core of neutrals, and then build out with some unexpected accent colors…

August 6, 2012 at 3:57 pmTotally sweet outfits. 🙂 It was fun to see what you can do with a piece of abstract art as a base. Also, I love the way you've managed to mix casual grey with fancier shapes and colours; I love casual greys, but I'm having a hard tim combining them with my girly pieces. Thanks for the inspiration.;)

August 6, 2012 at 9:16 pmOh thank you for this post! I love this piece (and Sonia's work more generally!)… AND your interpretation of how to work those colours into a modern wardrobe with basics is great… Thank you thank you thank you!

August 6, 2012 at 9:37 pmAbstract art is so educational for those of us trying to break away from black and get more creative with color. I never would have considered some of these combos (gray + coral, chartreuse + teal) but gosh if they don't work!

August 7, 2012 at 11:48 pmModern art as inspiration for our fashion sense – wonderful! (I am a huge fan of mid-century art – the Abstract Expressionists, the CoBra movement in Europe. Delicious stuff. We should all dress at least occasionally in their jubilant colors and textures!)
Lovely post.
