Rust with red-orange would look fabulous on you!</p> <p>Jjsloane, I'm positive you can find non-clowny combinations Out of all the combos I like the red/red-orange the most, hehe! I am really looking forward to seeing your outfits at the end of the week.</p> <p>Vicki, I thought it was interesting to see all the different combo preferences too! #4 is essentially turquoisey-green with blue, and is my second favorite combo of the group. I think you'll like what I have planned for that day Good memory on the LA outfit, I wore a <a href="http://aidascloset.tumblr.com/post/12047372241/2011-10-15">yellow-green with green</a> pairing which definitely follows the idea for this challenge. Really looking forward to seeing your outfits too, Vicki!</p> <p>Mander, I would guess it's more to do with your coloring than anything The right side is much cooler than the left, at least with the clothing pieces I picked for myself for this challenge. I think we also see many more instances of people pairing adjacent colors of those right side shades than the left side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors/page/2#post-519493 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:15:09 +0000 Mander 519493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder what it says about my psychology that I'm happy to wear adjacent colors on the left side (green, yellow, purple, and blue) but not on the right (red and orange). I don't think I'd be able to bring myself to wear rust and maroon together, for example.</p> <p>I'm sure it all has some deep significance.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors/page/2#post-519472 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:50:07 +0000 Vicki 519472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny how we're all coming in with different #s, Aida. I really like 1, 2, 3 and 5, with 4 still a question in my mind. The others are instant winners IMO and I actually think I saw you in 2 when you were here for our L.A.-O.C. meet-up when you had that great ON military vest on. They are not too crazy. They are too cool and I'm up for the challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors/page/2#post-518805 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:49:08 +0000 Jjsloane 518805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did my first one today, but I'm going to wait until the end of the week to post all together. I really had fun picking outfits and have no shortage of these colors, just have to find non-clownlike options. Orange and red is looking scary so far, I might have to tone it down a bit. I really stood out today in a sea of black at my office and me in my gold and olive green.<br /> Thanks for the inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors/page/2#post-518785 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:36:40 +0000 rae 518785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun wheel! I'll have to try red with maroon or rust sometime soon - I have those! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors/page/2#post-518726 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:47:08 +0000 Aida 518726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And for those who want to do different colors (I selected my combos based on items in my closet), here's a fun wheel you can look at for inspiration: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors/page/2#post-518720 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 23:43:06 +0000 Aida 518720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad more of you are going to try this challenge! How fun I will admit to playing in the snow all of last week, so I'm doing the challenge THIS week instead (started today!).</p> <p>Joy, I think one of the biggest challenges is going to be keeping these looking seasonally appropriate (and warm enough hehe).</p> <p>Jayne, rules depend on the challenge. This is just something I thought would be fun to try, and really I just wanted to do adjacent colors and make it all the way around the wheel. I plan to post the full week in one group, but you're more than welcome to post them day by day. And of course, no requirement to do a full week nor all the color combinations, it's all in good fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors/page/2#post-518029 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:44:17 +0000 Sveta 518029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-3 are my faves here!

This sounds like a fun! although I may have to dig out the summer clothes to find some of these </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors#post-517675 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 18:08:26 +0000 Anonymous 517675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the combinations look wonderfully exciting.

I'm getting even more excited to work these out for next week And anyone who wants to join, please do!</p> <p>Ornella, yes these more unexpected color combinations are so much fun!</p> <p>Classically Casual, that sounds like a great gardening exercise. I must try that in the spring!</p> <p>Angie, me too! It made me smile to see all the clothing laid out in a rainbow when I was taking these photos (and you know my wardrobe is mostly neutrals, hehe!)</p> <p>Rae, not hijacking at all! It would be way fun to do as a group I plan to do these next week, would that work for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors#post-506358 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:38:04 +0000 catgirl 506358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all, especially #2!

This combined with lyn's Five Hooks is a great little mini-challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors#post-506334 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:20:37 +0000 rae 506334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! I hope this doesn't count as hijacking the idea, but this would be a really fun challenge week. Would you mind at all if I made an attempt to join in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors#post-506320 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:05:59 +0000 MsMary 506320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE IT!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors#post-506295 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:38:34 +0000 Angie 506295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY fab :)</p> <p>Just looking at all those colours puts me in a good mood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors#post-506222 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:35:07 +0000 Classically Casual 506222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this idea. </p> <p>I'm a gardener, &amp; last year I attended a talk by my favorite local garden designer duo. Before the presentation, after the plants were all assembled, they silently moved through the plants carrying a flat box lid. They very selectively plucked a flower here and a petal there. It turned out to be an exercise in plant combinations, either in a container or a bed, &amp; the colors they chose were combinations of three next to each other on the color wheel. The effect was lovely and interesting.</p> <p>So fun to apply this to clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors#post-506177 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:59:19 +0000 Ornella 506177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES Aida, totally my cup of tea, 101%<br /> I can't wait to see what you'll engineer with these!</p> <p>Long time ago I have considered red+fuchsia or blue+green to be a bit crazy and definitely dramatic in the same sense as the combinations showcased here, but I have now recognized and embraced my love for the unexpected combos (not quite obvious from my outfits, but give me some time ). I'm eagerly waiting the round-up post with all the outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors#post-505933 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 06:45:29 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 505933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! LOVE 2 and 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors#post-505914 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 06:19:50 +0000 Amy 505914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, fun! Can't wait to see the results. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors#post-505909 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 06:13:03 +0000 Aida 505909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the positive response! I shall keep working these outfits out then, and will wear next week. Hope you can all wait until next Friday for the results ;)</p> <p>MNsara, I definitely plan to anchor these with plenty of neutrals! :D</p> <p>Shannon, inspiration can come from anywhere really, but a lot of my color inspirations come from nature. This idea was a mix of a comment I got about wearing neutrals and looking at photos of my yard from fall when the leaves were changing colors. And the spring bug (see my response to AJ ^^)</p> <p>AJ, maybe 0:) I was hoping for lots of snow this winter, so far none *sniff* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-week-of-adjacent-colors#post-505793 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:35:04 +0000 Sara L. 505793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I look forward to seeing your outfits. I like the color combos in all except #1, but that's because I'm just not an orange person. I prefer the cooler colors in your other combos. </p>
