Style Imitating Art- Mon mon cats

Monmon Cats painting of Kuazaki Horitomo.

Greetings!
Hope you are well!
All is fine here.  I have returned from a delightful weekend at my Dad's.  SO wonderful to spend time with him and my family, particularly lovely to have lots of time with him! He's so patient and kind, he inspires me!

As they dropped me back at the station, I found one of those old pianos you can play in the station and I sat playing tunes at it for 5 minutes. I played a song called 'Refiner's fire' or Purify my heart by Brian Doerkssen which I know from church and a minute or so later, one of the workers at that station came up to me and smiled and asked if I was playing 'Refiner's fire' - it made her happy to hear it. I departed on that train with a smile on my face.

Today, here is my outfit for the Style Imitating Art challenge with Salazar

Of course, when I saw that the picture featured a white cat with some black features, it was a no-brainer that I wear my Miss Patina cat collar blouse (errrrr, one of my 4 Miss Patina cat blouses...)

I decided to pair it with this black and white stripy River Island pinafore dress
 As I added my home-made shrink-plastic cat brooch (which I originally made for a Doctor Who cosplay), I felt that I was missing a splash of colour so I decided to add this red lady tie under the cat collar for a pop of colour and I'd already got on my red slingback pumps.
 Had it been a colder day, I might have added grey tights and I was going to wear my Erstwilder message in a bottle brooch as an allusion to the bottles in the background but forgot in the end.  Never mind, I was pleased with my look anyway.
How might you have interpreted this painting as an outfit?  Leave a comment and tell me what you'd wear from your wardrobe! And head over to Salazar for tomorrow's Round-up to see what everyone else did!

  3. That's utterly fabulous both the original art and your interpretation.

  4. That picture is cute and your outfit is completely PERFECT! (Purrrfect?). I don't think I would have the imagination to pull this off the way you did (plus I don't think I own anything stripy - I avoid horizontal stripes because they make my hips look even wider).

  5. I love the red tie touch. Totally original and yet also referencing the picture.
    I'm glad you made someone happy with your piano playing.

  8. Super cute! I love your art-inspired outfits.
    Hearing someone play piano at work would make the day so much nicer. The worker probably smiled all day after she heard you.

  12. This is perfect! I don't think I have much in my wardrobe to do it justice, I have a stripe jacket that I could've added a red flower brooch to.

  14. Your interpretation of this painting is brilliant. I absolutely love how you styled this striped dress, layering a shirt under it was a lovely idea...and actually that I what I'm wearing right now...a white shirt and a dress over it:). The cat collar is such a nice touch....and it evoked the painting perfectly.

    So sweet how you played that song on that piano and put a smile on some lady's face...sometimes little moments like that are the ones that stay with us forever.
