Salazar at 14 Shades of Grey is the curator for this round of Style Imitating Art (SIA), and she selected the painting "Winter on the Marsh" by contemporary British artist Dee Nickerson.

Scott Fitzgerald). She chose this artwork because she is watching a drama about the Fitzgeralds in which she learned that Zelda was an accomplished artist - "It is not my favorite of her works, but I like that the colors are Christmasy for a December outfit

Today I am continuing my brown color combos for fall/winter outfits series with rust, a color that is very easy to mix in outfits with all shades of brown. I have 5 rust + brown outfit examples to inspire you in ways to wear the season's trendiest color.
