You have had a fabulous week of outfits. Challenges are inspiring, aren't they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8/page/2#post-2043412 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 21:41:42 +0000 Anonymous 2043412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sunday, July 14: for church. This is less colorful but since I was doing bottoms I wanted a skirt rather than a dress. This is a newer 2-piece dress, Philosophy from Nordstrom Rack. This is not my usual type of print but the floral on navy goes with much in my closet. What cinched the deal was that it is 2-piece and very inexpensive. The skirt is lined cotton and top is rayon with a slash neck worn untucked here. What made it very attractive was that the whole outfit was less than $50.<br /> Today I tried to add color with my thrifted sequined flats, pink pearls and coral/red bag. For fall I can wear rust and browns with it. My topper was a thrifted AT linen navy cardigan but I have several possibilities including long cardies in light pink or rust and my EF navy cardigan or jacket, or white or pale blue. I wonder what you think of this inexpensive dress. Should I keep it? Is the coral bag too bright? It is on its last leg. Are the pink pearls too predictable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8/page/2#post-2043406 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 21:20:37 +0000 christy 2043406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Joy!</p> <p>Wow - that watermelon EF is fantastic on you.

(4). Too much yellow?<br /> Would the yellow crops be better with neutrals? They have been shortened to about 4” above the ankle bone but the angle of the photos makes them look longer, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2042293 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 15:08:27 +0000 Anonymous 2042293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you , Katerina, Jenni and Sterling. I will keep the watermelon EF skirt and top. I also found that I may be able to use a razor to shave the tiny pills off the poncho. It will take work and patience, but will be worth it if it works.<br /> Today the yellow wide crops make an appearance. I will need to add photos later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2042204 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 11:14:57 +0000 Anonymous 2042204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH!&nbsp; July 10 literally took my breath away.&nbsp; It was flawless.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2042174 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 07:16:24 +0000 Jenni NZ 2042174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I am stunned by how gorgeous the watermelon EF outfit is!

I really like all outfits here. Two of them stod out for me as real knockouts - the poncho with the mint trousers and blush bag plus pearls is stunning on you. What a pitty that the poncho is pilling. In the photo, the outfit looks so interesting and luxurious. Maximal at its best. The colours are beautiful on you.<br /> The second knockout is the watermellon dress with the silver accessories and the silver jacket. Perfection, full stop.<br /> The strong reds are so beautiful on you and you are a master of combining colours and acessorizing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2042131 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 03:50:27 +0000 Anonymous 2042131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>July 11th, continuing color week with my summer colored bottoms and trying to not use neutral tops. Today’s outfit was to be on my feet at the Denver Aquarium with a four year old grandson who wanted to read every sign. Four year olds can not read that stuff very fast. Photos were taken this evening after a long day. The turquoise jeans are a higher rise replacement for some I showed you last month. They are comfortable. I hope that they are a better fit. The top has a bit of turquoise in the pattern. ( #1) It is Pelione from the Rack last winter, my first tied waist top. This one is woven Tencel and looks best ironed. I was not very happy with how it looked in photos but seemed to work with pattern mixing with the gingham shirt I used for a light weight topper (#2/3). My accessory was a paper bead necklace made by a local group helping women and a few turquoise colored bracelets. (4) I find I need to be more purposeful about making sets of bracelets for my wardrobe. Earrings are turquoise stones in silver mountings </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2042120 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 03:16:55 +0000 Anonymous 2042120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Rachylou, Cardiff girl and nemosmom ( thought of you today at the Denver Aquarium). Watermelon is one of my favorite colors but often hard to find. Today I wore turquoise jeans with a mustard top with a floral print and mustard bag. For lots of walking I wore ECCO silver sneakers and used 2 silver bags, a small waist bag and larger satchel. I liked this combination for essentials in the small bag and room for treats, sunglasses, visor and meds in the larger bag. I hope to add pictures soon from my phone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2041977 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 20:38:22 +0000 nemosmom 2041977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the watermelon on you!

The dress is a thrifted 2-piece linen blend top and skirt from Eileen Fisher. It is linen rich, so cool to wear but it does wrinkle. I wore it out to a ladies luncheon and tour of the Boulder Chautauqua area set high overlooking the city. It was a summer day, hot in the sun but cool and breezy in the shade. The basic dress is sleeveless with simple lines (#1/2) also showing old silver flats, old silver bag and old silver pendent necklace. I used a silver linen jacket as topper, (3-5), and silver scarf and bracelets and necklace and earrings, (5-6). I welcome your comments and suggestions. I will probably get rid of the bag as it has been around for a long time but will probably hang on to the dress and jacket unless you tell me otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2041462 Wed, 10 Jul 2019 15:30:10 +0000 Anonymous 2041462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Jenni. I hope you will get to be a grandmother before long.<br /> Thank you torontogirl. The blush cardi has been a workhorse this spring as it lightens up dark outfits like black, charcoal and navy. I expect to wear it into the fall with rust and browns too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2041419 Wed, 10 Jul 2019 12:53:46 +0000 Helena 2041419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colour combos, really love your long blush cardi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2041387 Wed, 10 Jul 2019 08:55:12 +0000 Jenni NZ 2041387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Joy that’s so cute about Supergirl!

I am sorry that the poncho is pilling. It is unexpected as it is woven, not a knit. It is a great summer topper for air conditioning.<br /> Nemosmom, the grandkids especially notice my jewelry and like to try it on. I am hoping to use the poncho for something my little granddaughter can play dress up with. Right now she likes a cape and mask to be Super Girl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2041267 Tue, 09 Jul 2019 21:56:56 +0000 nemosmom 2041267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh what a beautiful colorway on you!

Too bad it's pilling. I bet the grandkids can hardly wait to see what you are wearing every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2041258 Tue, 09 Jul 2019 21:01:11 +0000 Anonymous 2041258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Photos added above for July 9th. Topper is a colorful poncho like piece from consignment last summer. The jeans are mint/ pale aqua and are made of recycled plastic bottles. They look a little wrinkled but can be smoothed out. I feel pretty in the color and comfortable but do they look ok? The poncho is on its way out as it is pilling. I will only wear it for times it has to work hard like with the grandkids. The shoes are old favorites and comfortable. I welcome your thoughts and ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/july-challenge-color-weekjuly-8#post-2041070 Tue, 09 Jul 2019 03:30:21 +0000 Anonymous 2041070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Bonnie and Shevia.
