I pair them either with tapered pencil skirts or short shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/art-challenge-redux-2019--thanks-sally#post-1992261 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 07:50:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 1992261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou, Angie, Sally and La Ped! I do like that tunic, one of a smaller number I've kept. Proportions are definitely better with long pants though, which is counter-intuitive on the hottest days. I am musing on the jacket, I could still do with creating a bit more empty space in my lovely new wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/art-challenge-redux-2019--thanks-sally#post-1992146 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 21:22:28 +0000 LaPed 1992146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! What a great idea to revisit this challenge. Very "Pacific" outfit, and the way you've combined blacks and brights seems true to Gauguin. The embroidered jacket is really cute, but if it's only getting one or two wears per year it sounds like maybe it's not versatile or comfortable enough? Hmm... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/art-challenge-redux-2019--thanks-sally#post-1992132 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 20:25:42 +0000 Sal 1992132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this Jenni - this is perfect for the Gauguin - which did suit summer rather than winter definitely.</p> <p>I love the top and proportions on you.&nbsp; I hope you wear this a few more times in the heat of summer.</p> <p>I can't see the jacket but it is not wowing me.</p> <p>I do have jackets that would have a similar number of wears, and there is a place for lightly worn items (I have one blouse, one tunic and two jackets that are all over four years old with approx 12-15 wears).&nbsp; I guess it is whether you like wearing it and would ever choose it over another?&nbsp; My two leather jackets make me oscillate as I don't call for them as often as I should yet people complement me on them regularly.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/art-challenge-redux-2019--thanks-sally#post-1992030 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 14:27:41 +0000 Angie 1992030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice challenge. You did great, and look fabulous, <b>Jenni.</b> Fun outfit and good proportions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/art-challenge-redux-2019--thanks-sally#post-1992022 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 13:59:07 +0000 Bijou 1992022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, it is a great outfit drawing inspiration from the picture, so fun that the tropical print echos Gauguin's Pacific location. I really love this tunic top on you the colours are very pretty and I also like your matching bag and sandals.</p> <p>As for the jacket, I like the style, but if you have lots of jackets, then perhaps it is time to pass on this one. 17 wears in 8 years is low - and indicates that you have other items that you just prefer to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/art-challenge-redux-2019--thanks-sally#post-1991963 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 07:17:36 +0000 Jenni NZ 1991963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ever since last July I have been thinking vaguely about the art challenge Sally did here: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-art-challenge">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-challenge</a><br /> and thinking some time I should try the Paul Gauguin, Arearea.It is an easier one to do in hot weather, so sorry to those of you now in mid-winter, which is what we were in when she made the post originally. <br /> I wanted to bring the colours out and also the Tahitian Pacific island feel. It was just slightly colder today ( it rained) so I wore my long olive snakeskin pants instead of my cropped pants. I didn't need a jacket most of the day but did to be in the supermarket which is kept quite cold. <br /> This jacket is from late 2010, I love the colours, but I can't anywhere near button it ( not that I think I could when I bought it but quite like it open). Not sure whether to keep it much longer- only about 17 wears in just over 8 years. Is it worth it taking up space?  </p>
