As to the colours working together I'm not 100% sure, maybe it doesn't even matter as the perception is that they flow. It's like a visual illusion. I have a really tough time pairing anything with burgundy so I'm definitely not the one to assess the colour compatibility. I'm very intrigued by the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836607 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 23:41:18 +0000 deb 836607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear it around the house and see if it grows on you. I do not think it is bad, just not your best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836575 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 23:09:47 +0000 Anonymous 836575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang it, you know? I had to come back to say that the more I see it, the more I like it. I hope Angie chimes in on this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836553 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 22:36:43 +0000 Suz 836553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're adorable! </p> <p>I'm with Anna on this one. It's not the double ombre. It's the colours looking not so hot together. </p> <p>That shirt is a winner on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836548 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 22:33:40 +0000 Isabel 836548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yea, I am iffy too. Though I can't really put my finger on it. It is not something that I would scratch my head and say "What was she thinking" ( well, I wouldn't say that anyway ) but it isn't Rae fab, ka-pow either. It's mediocre. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836543 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 22:29:55 +0000 cciele 836543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both pieces but am also "eh" about the black in the middle. Look forward to seeing your verdigris interpretations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836522 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 22:00:51 +0000 Marley 836522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like! I think its very fun - and kind of tongue in cheek. To me, the black works because of your hair color and boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836518 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:57:21 +0000 rae 836518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, other colors... I have the heather gray layering tee I wore yesterday. Also a long-sleeved turquoise layering tee. </p> <p>I think maybe I won't continue with this experiment. Maybe it would be better with my solid rust skinnies for another take on the verdigris theme I like so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836512 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:51:23 +0000 Girl X 836512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the double ombre, but I don't like the black shirt in the middle. What other colours could you wear underneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836493 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 21:24:29 +0000 lynne 836493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836464 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:36:58 +0000 Anonymous 836464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, because to me the gradient effect starts with black ( your hair) and ends up in black (The boots), Plus I am suscribing to a new color theory. To me, most colors match when the saturation is similar.This theory is the one known in some circles as the "MaryK paradox". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836446 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:08:52 +0000 rachylou 836446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's awesome and gutsy. </p> <p>!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836445 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:08:10 +0000 Janet 836445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love each individual piece and want to steal them from you, but I don't love them together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836439 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:02:02 +0000 Amy 836439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm iffy on it.

I think the black brings them together as you'd intended since both patterns get darker as they move toward your waist. It's new -- I say give it time if you aren't feeling sure aboit it. But the fit, cut and tones work very well together --not matchy-matchy at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836342 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:38:48 +0000 annagybe 836342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not so much the ombre, I just don't think the colors go together very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836340 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:38:26 +0000 MsMary 836340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of love it.

I don't mind the high-contrast, really. Not quite sure if ombre pants and ombre top is too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836329 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:34:27 +0000 amiable 836329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HaHa! I love the top, and I love the pants, and I love the idea! I would totally wear it, but I have no idea whether it works.

Do you have an ink blue top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ixnay-on-the-double-ombre#post-836321 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:31:30 +0000 rae 836321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am I off my nut here? Is this the new trying-too-hard matchy-matchy? I haven't left the house, and I don't have any real reason to today. Just an idea I had for later. </p>
