And your hair is stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001441 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 04:23:12 +0000 Jaime 2001441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vix I appreciate your eye for color and detail and thank you for the feedback. I did not do the second outfit any favors photographing it there, I think the color is off and some of the brighter details are lost. But yes, the boots and the pants deserve a better top - point well taken!&nbsp;<br />Thank you Jenni - I am not used to wearing such a bright color, but I will have to push myself more.<br />Rachy :)<br />Sal - Thanks, brighter than I am used to too!<br />Suntiger - Definitely going to push myself to wear more brights!<br />Bonnie - Interesting point, they are both cooler colors I think. I look pretty deadly in mustard.<br />Brooklyn - Thank you!<br />Firecracker - Thank you! Yes the second outfit needs a tough jacket, good idea! </p> <p>ETA -Thank you Jane. And Ha, Lyn, it is winter here. Our winters are quite mild and that was a particularly nice day. Jessikams coming from you that is a particularly flattering comment!</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001409 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 02:49:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2001409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I love both outfits, Jaime. I actually like the second one as it is. Add a cross-body bag, perhaps, or a denim or bomber jacket. I love those boots, and the combination of the slouchy trouser, plus boots, plus pretty top is a winner for me. <br /></div><div>The first outfit is superb, and I especially like the way the bag picks up, without exactly matching, the centers in the daisies on the top. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001374 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 01:31:50 +0000 Brooklyn 2001374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are lovely on you. I am jealous of your thrifting finds! I agree that some accessories would amp up outfit 2. No 1 is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001209 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 20:14:03 +0000 Bonnie 2001209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits. It's interesting that both tops really seem to flatter you even though one is pastel and the other a saturated color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001188 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 19:39:18 +0000 Anonymous 2001188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 especially! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001180 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 19:30:56 +0000 Sal 2001180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look wonderful - 1 is fab on you whilst lighter then I usually see - definitely wear for real.</p> <p>I like 2 as well - I think a cuff could be great with it - or earrings - but It is good as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001164 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 18:55:41 +0000 rachylou 2001164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colour sumptuousness! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001152 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 18:23:52 +0000 Jenni NZ 2001152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both outfits and think you look amazing. The pale pink of the first top is especially great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001147 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 18:05:39 +0000 Vix 2001147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Shevia --</p> <p>Well, you're like a cherry tree brought to life in Outfit 1 and it suits you, wow! </p> <p>I guess if you feel a burning need to change out the shoes to sandals etc you couuuuuld, but the booties look intentional.</p> <p>Outfit 2, hmmmm. Such a cool print but you set the bar so high with #1 in terms of fit, color, harmony. On my monitor, at least, the colors seem a little off for you and the eggplant (could totally be the camera, mine doesn't understand pale person + darker clothes when IRL it's all good). </p> <p>Love the pants + boots so I admit I'd try a few other things up top...and no doubt your amazing closet of magical vintage items has something that beckons!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001135 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 17:28:54 +0000 Jaime 2001135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your kind feedback. I am so pleased that the first outfit works - it isa bit outside my comfort zone.<br />Torontogirl - I definitely need more prominent earrings. Or a jacket. Or both!<br />texstyle - I like the idea of bringing down the pink a bit with the bag. I will try the second top with light jeans next I think.<br />lisa - I think I have a flowy black vest as it happens :)<br />Katerina - that is a wonderful compliment coming from you, you have the best pieces!<br />Janet - the second outfit's colors are also closer to my comfort zone too. Thrifting is absolutely therapeutic for me, but it does take a lot of patience and luck.<br />nemosmom - that is one of the best compliments ever! thank you!<br />Cardiff girl - Thank you, it says spring to me too.<br />Sara - Thank you! I am wearing earrings but they are lost here. Next time I will try something bolder.<br />taylor- A hair compliment from you is especially sweet!<br />Suz - Thank you! I need to find that vest... </p> <p>ETA - Angie, it's been four years? Wow, time flies! Thank you for your lovely words, as always.</p> <p>Alicewonderland - Oh, a pastel bag, that's a great idea, thanks!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001134 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 17:23:29 +0000 Alicewonderland 2001134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you have such thrifted treasures! Both outfits are perfect, I think less if more when you have such great details. Just pick a contrasting purse for 2 (gold? Pastel?) and you are good to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001131 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 17:19:23 +0000 Angie 2001131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, HAIR IS KILLER.</p> <p>Second, waving at my cream bootie twin. (From FOUR years ago!)</p> <p><b>Jaime</b>, I love the first outfit as is. Nice how the bag picks up the colour in the embroidery.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like #2 as is too! Add your big hoop earrings :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001130 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 17:10:36 +0000 Suz 2001130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Shevia,</b> you look beautiful. Your hair!!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Not to mention your fantastic thrift store finds. The pink top is just plain gorgeous on you. Love it with the white and white booties! Perfection.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree that the second one needs one more piece. Liking LisaP's idea of a layered vest of some kind.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001126 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 17:03:27 +0000 taylor 2001126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Shevia , you look lovely in both outfits!<br /> Fabulous hair too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001122 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 16:54:26 +0000 Sara L. 2001122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #1 and don't think anything is missing.&nbsp; I think #2 just needs some jewelry - maybe a bracelet or earrings and it would be perfect.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001120 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 16:32:56 +0000 Cardiff girl 2001120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1is my fave.That s a really pretty outfit for spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001114 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 16:19:34 +0000 nemosmom 2001114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What incredible thrift finds! Not even Cher can look that good in Bob Mackie! Both outfits are beautiful and your smile is radiant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001086 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 14:59:08 +0000 Janet 2001086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I had the patience — and the venues — for the level of thrift shopping you do! You truly find the best pieces. </p> <p>That first outfit is really great on you — I like the light pink with your coloring! I love the colors in the second one (colors closer to my personal comfort zone), but think it could simply use some accessorizing — a fab cuff and/or bold earrings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001081 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 14:55:08 +0000 Katerina 2001081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great, Shevia. The first one is so pretty and I really like the white boots with this outfit. The yellow bag looks so nice with the pink. The second is also beautiful. Love the colour combination and the combat boots are sensational. If you feel like something is missing, maybe a little bit of shine - a watch or a bracelet, as TG suggested. You look absolutely fabulous in both outfits. I admire your wardrobe - fantastic pieces all of them.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001078 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 14:50:29 +0000 Anonymous 2001078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both outfits, and love seeing your second-hand scores. Dior combat boots? &nbsp;My heart. &nbsp;I'd try a long vest - flowy, in black - over the second outfit, or a moto-style jacket to give a nod to the combat boots. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001075 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 14:45:31 +0000 texstyle 2001075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the first outfit on you Shevia - great color and the details in the blouse pick up perfectly with your handbag color too. The second one is nice but maybe a little more overwhelming in terms of darkness of the colors. I wonder how that same top would look with lighter bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001069 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 14:37:20 +0000 Helena 2001069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear color beautifully Shevia! That pink is is so pretty on you. The second outfit, I agree, looks great, but feels like it needs on more thing - maybe jewellery - big hoops or a bracelet maybe? The collar kind of gives a necklace effect ...</p> <p>In any case, YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-challenge-experiments#post-2001065 Mon, 11 Feb 2019 14:34:14 +0000 Jaime 2001065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I default to a lot of black jeans and shoes, so I was happy to take up the Runcarla's color challenge. I did not wear either of these, but I took advantage of DD being home and available to photograph. The first one is more of a spring outfit that I think I would like better with spring shoes and more lipstick. The second one seems like it is missing something too. All suggestions and thoughts welcome!<br />&nbsp;<br />Outfit 1: Bob Mackie vintage top (thrifted), Current/Elliot white boyfriend jeans (thrifted), citron? Israeli bag (thrifted),Angie recommended boots from a year or two ago.<br />Outfit 2: Maison Scotch top (thrifted), vintage Celine eggplant colored trousers (thrifted), vintage Christian Dior combat style boots (second hand).</p>
