Janice Riggs, the blogger, often feature outfits / capsules / wardrobes based on inspiration from a piece of art.</p> <p>Ginger, it looks lovely. Thank you for inspiring me to do something similar in my own closet. </p> <p>Besides, as Jenn mentioned, when shopping for new clothes and accessories, it would be helpful to remember a picture with one's favourite colours. Just got an idea: When I have found "my" picture, in addition to hanging it in my closet, I will take photos of the picture &amp; my closet (like the ones shown here) and keep them on my cell phone for quick references when evaluating colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-palette#post-1847239 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 15:01:39 +0000 Marguerite 1847239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great!

This summer I added quite a bit of turquoise, aqua and teal. I think I may need to add mid and lighter colors for interest, and need to find some paler blues, greens and maybe even (gasp) pinks that don't wash me out or look muddy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-palette#post-1845057 Fri, 15 Sep 2017 01:44:53 +0000 unfrumped 1845057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun and fabulous is that!<br /> You know there are outfit challenges based on paintings, or photos of the garden or such. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-palette#post-1844979 Thu, 14 Sep 2017 19:07:33 +0000 JuniperGreen 1844979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh that is delightful!&nbsp; So fun what one finds in the aisles of Home Goods (a watercolor print of a llama in cool pastels is my favorite!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-palette#post-1844867 Thu, 14 Sep 2017 12:45:31 +0000 Ginger 1844867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly,&nbsp;<b>Jenn</b>! It's a great visual.</p> <p>Thank you,&nbsp;<b>karen13</b>, and I hope it helps. I don't always combine them together, but this expresses my favorites really well.

My closet is too small to hang up some art, but maybe someday when I live in an apartment with a good size closet again I'll take a page out of your book. Maybe a crisp winter scene with pops of red, green, and blue...</p> <p>I love your color palette.

I love opening the door and seeing the pretty that's available to play with.</p> <p>Thank you, Style Fan! I figured it would go, but didn't realize it would go that well.</p> <p>Elizabeth P, I know, right? It was just cute and had the right "feel."</p> <p>I've always wanted to do something like this, Sterling, but I also tend toward clutter. So I'm trying very hard to not over-adorn. ;)</p> <p>Thanks, Laura G! It's like a window, which is nice in a windowless closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-palette#post-1844611 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 18:09:29 +0000 Laura G 1844611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That painting is beautiful!

Somehow this little picture came home with me. I'd been wanting something for the now blank wall in my closet, and I thought this was just right. I didn't know how right it was. </p> <p>When I hung it up, I stepped back to admire how nice it looked next to my blush tote. And the scarves in the bin. And the bins themselves. And all of the skirts. And the tops and dresses and...</p> <p>This pretty, inexpensive little acrylic-surface watercolor managed to capture all of my favorite saturated midtones of pink, blue, and green, and lighter and some darker tones of those same colors. All of these I wear and love. And it is grounded by touches of yellow, gray, and cognac/brown. </p> <p>I couldn't have found a better representation of my color palette if I'd tried. It doesn't include the burgundy and black that goes into my wardrobe in cool weather, but those are not favorites the way the other colors are. It's hard to find winter-weight clothing in light greens and blues, or saturated pinks. </p>
