I am touched you value my opinion!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174831 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 10:17:56 +0000 Sveta 174831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor, thanks. I hope my request was not out of line( emphasis was on "critique" part, I did not doubt you are always honest :-)<br /> I like to mix colors together. I think playing with colors was my way to adding that "edge" instead of trends which I did not pay much attention to before this blog.<br /> I even had some women at work to comment on how I am brave to wear and mix colors when they are mostly black or neutral :-)<br /> San, that is tiger eye stone in the ring so it is kind of yellow. Actually it is pretty close to the jacket color.<br /> Loise, thanks for the chocolaty tip. Unfortunately these jeans are going back to the store as Angie confirmed they were a bad fit :-(. Still on the lookout for the right ones... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174813 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 08:20:58 +0000 Louise 174813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the white and turquoise together they really 'pop'. Be careful when eating chocolate with the white pants I wore mine yesterday and was sooooo careful all day then at 9pm I got the muchies and had a chocolate cornetto.... you can guess the rest! They've been through the wash twice with stain slayer and oxyclean thankfully it's a minute stain and it has faded but heck it was the 1st time I wore them! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174800 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 07:04:00 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 174800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful! And another van Gogh, how cool is that. What I love about this challenge is that it is really challenging how we normally think of wearing colours together in our outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174750 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 05:05:53 +0000 Anonymous 174750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did a great job of interpreting the picture. What a fun challenge. I love that picture by the way.<br /> Is that ring yellow too?<br /> You look great in turquoise and white. The whole outfit is kind of magical, I love this idea of using the masters for color inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174735 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 04:55:43 +0000 yublocka 174735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colours. Very light and summery!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174655 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 03:31:02 +0000 taylor 174655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, an honest critique from Taylor:)</p> <p>Absolutely nailed this one. I would not change a thing. I love your interpretation. You have wonderful style, and I am seeing you have a great eye for color...I can learn from you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174650 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 03:26:20 +0000 Sveta 174650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara, I think bag and earring are enough to add yellow so give it a try. I also have another idea for Starry Night and I found another yellow item in my wardrobe - it is just out of season now but just for the fun of it I will use it.<br /> Your blog sounds intriguing, I would love to read it. I was thinking for a blog of mine own but struggling to find what to write about. Maybe you will inspire me!<br /> Turquoise pendant is from a small jewelery cart in our mall - I do not remember the name. I just like real stones and silver - that was a Christmas present from my husband (but I selected it - the only way to get a satisfactory gift:-))</p> <p>Jean, very funny about the door. Wait, when we finish our kitchen reno and remove all the mess from the living room I will do my pictures there - and it is very orange! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174611 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:57:24 +0000 greenglove 174611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the turquoise and wheat colored blazer. I must add that the color of the door you are standing in front of adds so nicely to the whole outfit. Van Gogh would be inspired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174527 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 01:53:18 +0000 Tara 174527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay Sveta, you did a great job!<br /> Haha, I also wanted to fo a Van Gogh one based on Starry Starry night but had the same prob - not one sole yellow thing in my entire wardrobe!!! I've always found yellow that is too bright washes out my really pale complexion...</p> <p>I purchased a bright yellow bag from a thrift shop and found some bright yellow earrings so I might give it a whirl!</p> <p>I love what you said about looking for style inspiration in art/nature etc. This in fact will be the very subject of my new blog - finding style inspiration in the things that inspire you, as an individual. This might be nature, art, music, religion, animals, the people around you...basically you don't just need to look in the fashion magazines or at the celebrities to find great style inspiration - it can come from all around you! Like, the texture of wheat in the field in Van Gogh's painting, or the colours, or the soulful lyrics in a song...I could go on for hours but that will be a subject for my blog!</p> <p>Congrats! Love that pendant too...where is it from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174516 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 01:31:17 +0000 Debora 174516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love that painting and you did a wonderful job of interpreting it! Your outfit is so pretty. Would you have put those items together if it wasn't for the challenge? Now you have a great summer outfit. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174512 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 01:24:10 +0000 Queen Mum 174512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love those colors together. great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174508 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 01:07:54 +0000 marianna 174508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic!

Love the colors. I think the jacket is the perfect color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-174481 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 00:43:49 +0000 Sveta 174481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the comments. Actually I liked this challenge very much. I think it is usefull to look for dressing inspiration from art or nature can teach us so much about color and texture mixing. I think I will do another one as well - just for fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-172981 Sun, 20 Jun 2010 00:58:01 +0000 florida 172981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing the challenge outfits, and these that are inspired by art are really interesting to me. I like your shoes; I wish that I could see them better. Perhaps you'll post some more outfits with them? :-)<br /> You look lovely, Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-172942 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 23:57:15 +0000 JennyK (NC) 172942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh- so clever! Nice interpretation of the painting. This outfit looks so fresh and summery too. Wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-172922 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 23:21:46 +0000 Tanya 172922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color combos, gorgeous! I think you pass the challenge with flying colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-172908 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 23:01:42 +0000 Laurie 172908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Sveta! I love this creative take on interpreting art. And I love Van Gogh. I especially like the jacket- glad you didn't get rid of it, it's the same color as the wheat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-172905 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 22:51:27 +0000 Lisa 172905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good interpretation, love those white pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artistic-license-wiw-619#post-172903 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 22:49:34 +0000 Sveta 172903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At last I got time to post my artistic challenge. This is the first time I am taking part in any challenge here!<br /> I have selected one of Van Gogh's paintings: I love his works and he is using bright colors - just perfect for summer:<br /> Next I had to find a painting which had colors from my wardrobe - that was tough. I suddenly realized how limited my wardrobe is! Anyway "Wheatfiled with cypresses" seemed to fit the bill - I have green blue and white pieces I could work with.<br /> My biggest difficulty was to find something yellow as I do not own anything yellow YET. Finally I remembered this old jacket which i was thinking of discarding - and here we go.</p> <p>So how did I do?<br /> <a href="http://s743.photobucket.com/albums/xx71/sveta_d/June%2019/" rel="nofollow">http://s743.photobucket.com/al.....June%2019/</a> </p>
