I think that I am going to have to bite the bullet and start to investigate belts. I thought that I had done such a good job resisting... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-216#post-174317 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 21:14:43 +0000 Inge 174317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seeing all your wonderful art interpretations is tickling my toes. I just might have to join in on the fun - will have to pick an artwork first though, very hard;-)</p> <p>I love how you've paired bottle green with orange, Fiona. I really like that shade of green, but it's not all that flattering near my face, seeing you in the green skirt made a light bulb go on (go find a green skirt, Inge!-)</p> <p>I bet this skirt will look great with knee-high boots for colder weather too and I like Julie's suggestion of adding a belt sometime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-216#post-174124 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 16:57:11 +0000 Carole 174124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun! The colors in the painting seem like they would be challenging to put together in an outfit, but you pulled it off well! Hmmmm, I'm going to have to give this a try.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-216#post-174101 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 16:32:36 +0000 Scarlet 174101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I think it is interesting how the unusual color combination elevates basic shapes into an OUTFIT. Thanks for the post! Just my personal opinion, but yeah, heels are nice, but sometimes they are just not practical, and I think the delicateness of the sandals makes them work pretty well with this length of skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-216#post-174100 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 16:32:06 +0000 wilson 174100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE that painting!!! I love how you extracted something out of a painting that touches you and expressed it in your clothing! Clothing is such a uniquie outlet for self expression. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-216#post-174089 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 16:15:21 +0000 taylor 174089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>aren't you just FABULOUS!!! beautiful colors!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-216#post-174081 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 16:05:52 +0000 Rosie 174081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! Beautiful painting and I love the color combination!

Nice way to use the painting as a jumping off point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-216#post-174012 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 13:40:58 +0000 marianna 174012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-216#post-173993 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 12:37:16 +0000 Queen Mum 173993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colours Fi!

I like R&amp;J's suggestions and your mention of heels to give this outfit some more oomph. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-216#post-173974 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 10:50:43 +0000 RoseandJoan 173974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we will let Angie be the judge of the killer rating Fi ;0)</p> <p>I very much like this look, have you thought about maybe tucking the tank, buttoning a couple of buttons on the cardi at your natural waist and adding a skinny belt to further accentuate your hourglass shape. I will definitely try the colour combo with my bottle green skirt, thank you for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-216#post-173926 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 06:43:14 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 173926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been thinking on and off about Rosie's challenge to dress inspired by a piece of art and being a person who loves art galleries and also one who has been lucky enough to visit some of the great collections in the World it was one that I didn't want to pass up.</p> <p>The artwork that I have chosen is Henri Matisse's The Dance (second version), which I have seen twice, once in London and once at its permanent home in the Hermitage in St Petersburg:</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/zFT_ea8yxh_3_uH5yMzMzwJxb14PAu28RHf2wQO2aK4?feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh.....directlink</a></p> <p>The aspect of the painting that inspired my outfit is the colours - orange, blue and green - three colours that I wouldn't have thought about putting together all at once had it not been for this challenge.</p> <p>So here is my outfit - <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/HTL5anGd09F16iV6dBlknAJxb14PAu28RHf2wQO2aK4?feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/lh.....directlink</a></p> <p>Green skirt from H&amp;M, orange tank and navy cardigan from Uniqlo, sandals from Clarks, stupid expression all mine!</p> <p>I know that this is no where near a killer outfit, the tank is not skirt length and I really need a heel with skirts that finish just below the knee, but it was fun to put together some different colours. I would also like to try it with a denim skirt, the orange tank and a green cardigan (but I don't have one). </p>
