YLF Challenge chain: bella challenges Greenglove to...

First of all, thanks Hanna for organizing this exciting challenge! The number that random number generator gave me is #11 so I am excited to start the challenge off with one of the most stylish ladies on this forum, greenglove.

I did my homework and looked at some of the pictures that Jean posted on the forum in the last month or so. I was once more impressed by the ease with which Jean successfully sported various different styles, dresses, skinnies, printed tops, vests, funky accessories such as cross body bags, chunky necklaces and floral pins. She has also experimented successfully with trickier new trends such as tunic over leggings, voluminous tops, skirts and dresses over leggings while at the same time keeping her funky, artsy personal style. You are a wonderful inspiration Jean!

One thing I realized is that all these outfits shared a common feature: Apart from the beautiful bright yellow party dress that she recently posted, they are all in muted, earth tones, which obviously go very well with her complexion. So inspired by that combination of bright red and yellow, I challenge Jean to SPORT A SMART CAUSAL OUTFIT THAT INCORPORATES TWO BRIGHT COLORS!

Jean, I hope that you enjoy this challenge and I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Cheers!

The necklace is a really bright tomato red, I was thinking of returning it because I couldn't find anything to wear with it. Thoughts?

LOVE, love, love the necklace. I would have never thought of adding brights with accessories. You've pulled off the challenge without veering an inch from your innate style. That is one lovely outfit (very fab hat!) Awesome!

Very clever, greenglove! The brights really add some pop over the dark colors. And your dark lipstick is a nice touch, to play up the drama of the outfit. You look tres chic :)

Love the outfit. The necklace is gorgeous and don't get me started on the yellow bag it's HOT. A fab way to incorporate brights without going too garish x

FABULOUS! i just died a little, lwc-style ;) KEEP THE NECKLACE! and that hat - too, too divine.

- dress over jeans: that look is made for you!
- the hat is such a great touch, it adds a very Jean-esque flair to the outfit.
- please don't return the necklace, it's gorgeous (besides black, you could also try it with white, grey, purple, green...).
- yellow bag: spot on!

I was so curious to see what you would do with the challenge Jean. I love it that you used accessories to add the brights and that you managed to keep it so very you!

Posted 9 months ago

Wow Jean - you look equally good in your "regular" colors as you do in this. You look simply amazing and I might have to join in the heart attack chain!

You look so chic, you could be in a photo shoot with the Sartorialist!

I love how you used brights that fit your color palette. Very nicely done - you not only met the challenge, you blew it away!

Super Wow!!! You look like a femme fatale! I love that lipstick and hat!

Posted 9 months ago

Wow Jean, I thought I had a difficult challenge for you but you completely outsmarted me! :) Well done, you look glamorous! Be careful when you go out today, Boston women will be jealous!

Posted 9 months ago

Wow! Great outfit, Jean! It seems really outside your box, but I just love it on you! The bright accessories are perfect. How do you feel in it?

Jean, you look great! Love the outfit.

Posted 9 months ago

lwc, You are hysterically funny!!!:)

GG. I didn't think you could ever look better than in your other posts, I was wrong!! You look BEAUTIFUL! and with such ease!

Posted 9 months ago

Wow, this is going to be a tough act to follow. You look incredible Jean! LOVE the hat! The cherry on top, literally! I love how dark the outfit is. Makes the perfect backdrop for brights!

KILLER......flying around the room and LAUNCHED INTO ORBIT……

*landed and fainted”

I’ve recovered! What can I say darling, you put the models in Vogue to shame. Utter shame. I think this look is completely IN your box. If Ms. Earthy Jean is going to sport two brights – toning it down with a completely black ensemble plus mega dramatic black hat was a sure way to go. Well done Jean! You are absolutely fabulous! Carrie Bradshaw and her stylist need to take lessons from you.

I just fainted. Imagine another Lesley-like reaction (only I am not even half that funny). OK, I have a panic attack now - nothing I can come up with is worthy of your outfit! Going to take a couple of deep breaths and re-think how to tackle my challenge ...

Posted 9 months ago

Amazing! That hat is the cherry on top. Thrifted?

Posted 9 months ago

KILLER TIMES ELEVENTY BILLION.

The hat!!! The purse!!! The necklace!!! And it's all so fabulously YOU.

Touche, m'dear. TOUCHE.

Posted 9 months ago

Thanks everyone!!! This was so much fun, cannot wait to see all the various upcoming challenges. (I think I will keep the necklace)

Posted 9 months ago

Oh, Jean, you look FANTASTIC! I love that you used brights, but I must say I am especially wowed by your ability to look utterly glam and not in the least costumey in a big statement hat. You have set the bar SO high for this challenge!

Posted 9 months ago

I'm late in responding, but wow! GG - You are a fab femme fatale in that outfit. Well played!

Posted 9 months ago

Wow! I felt like I saw Nicole Kidman! You look elegantly stylish and utterly interesting.
