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…

I love this! So many pieces of art have inspired my fashion choices! Nice work…
So fun!
Beautiful choices! I love the mix of some serious color with the neutrals.
Totally 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.;)
At first glance, I wouldn't think the colors in the abstract were compatible, but when you put together the clothes, it works.
Gasp! Be still my heart…I love those blue oxfords!
Oh 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!
Abstract 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!

Modern 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.
