Happy Monday friends. Jan came back from Italy late yesterday and then proceeded to snore and grind his teeth all night, so I’m tired today. Early night definitely in order tonight! Anyway, for the first time in ages, I actually remembered to check the inspiration for Style Imitating Art, and here it is (chosen by Kim from Fierce Fashion Blog):
My first thought on looking at the poster was “I don’t have anything in those colours!”. Then I went beyond the colours and for some reason the way the grapes are laid out reminded me of a top I own, even though neither the colours nor the pattern match? Here is my outfit… let me know if you can see what I mean:
Here is a closer look at the top… with apologies for my utter uselessness at selfie taking! It’s mainly something about the way the green leaves are just kind of splodged on that reminds me of the grapes. (Splodged… technical term don’tcha know 🤣)
Finally, for those who are interested, these are my shoes, although those have very little to do with the inspiration. I just shoved them on because they kind of match the outfit. They have red and purple though, so they are at least vaguely similar to the colours in the poster.
Since this is an outfit post, the obligatory “where stuff came from”. The top is from Sainsburys, apparently (as in the supermarket) – I had no idea they even did clothes! My aunt bought it and didn’t like it, so she gave it to my mum who didn’t want it either and promptly passed it on to me! Skirt: Don’t remember. It’s about 9 years old and the label is gone. Shoes: Primark, about 5 years ago. (And the socks are H&M, although I’m sure no-one cares about those!).
So, what do you think? Am I completely crazy for thinking this is even vaguely reminiscent of the inspiration?
If you would like to join in, you have until tomorrow (Tuesday, 10 September) to send a photo of your outfit to Kim at fiercefashionblog@gmail.com (worn or just a flat lay), then check her blog on Wednesday for the full round up of outfits.

I love the outfit. Sainsbury’s clothes range is called Tu. The garments I’ve got have proved well made and longlasting.
Thanks. I like it too.
I never shopped in Sainsburys when I lived in the UK (there was never one near me) and I’ve been away for 13 years now so I’m clueless. LOL.
I think you did a pretty good job with matching the outfit! I can definitely see the imitation and inspiration!
Thank you. I’m glad you see it. Good to know I’m not going completely crazy 😉
