I think you're at the point were you have raised the bar so high on a regular basis that anything short of perfect will not do!</p> <p>Your second outfit provides more contrast through the colours and that is the ONLY reason why it works better than the first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/medusa-motg-1-attempt#post-101537 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:32:12 +0000 Angie 101537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice first interpretation, Medusa! (By all means wear a necklace over ruffles). I'd love to see black skinnies on the bottom :0)</p> <p>An even better second try! Looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/medusa-motg-1-attempt#post-101529 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:24:28 +0000 medusa 101529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I've been thinking today about why Agrace's attempt at this formula is so great (A++++) and mine not so great (C at best). I think it's because while the top I was wearing is embellished, it's too subtle of an embellishment so there's not enough contrast.</p> <p>So here's a second try, with a more obviously interesting top and more color contrast.<br /> <a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/outfit/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG1727.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG1727.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/medusa-motg-1-attempt#post-101465 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:27:41 +0000 medusa 101465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agrace, good point about the lack of contrast.</p> <p>To answer your question about cardigan color - I also have the cardigan in a tan color, purple, and brown. It's funny Shana that you mentioned preferring a black cardigan because that was my default choice, but then I thought I should try something different. Maybe a lighter color cardigan would work better.</p> <p>I did try wearing pearls, but they looked a bit odd to me over the ruffle on the shirt. You can't see it too well in the photo, but the top has a ruffle over the bust area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/medusa-motg-1-attempt#post-101461 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:23:31 +0000 Tanya 101461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good Medusa! I agree about throwing in a pearl necklace or something similar to add more contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/medusa-motg-1-attempt#post-101452 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 20:48:02 +0000 shana 101452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of the oufit but I am not sure about the blue with the red/black plaid. I guess I would rather see it with black though I know it's sort of old school to be matchy-matchy. Or maybe it's the wash of the jeans - maybe the blue would have worked better if the jeans were a darker wash?? Also, how about throwing on a long strand of pearls, knotted, with this outfit (could have sworn you've done this before) - some accessories would be a fun addition! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/medusa-motg-1-attempt#post-101424 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:05:04 +0000 agrace 101424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Medusa - I just posted an outfit as well and Marianna suggested a pop of color for a fun addition (in the form of a handbag). I love your jeans and flats and cardigan, but I am thinking maybe a different tee or shirt under the cardigan might work as well? You look very polished and the fit looks great! I am seeing a graphic tee as Angie described in today's post or even a button up, but something that might provide a bit more contrast between the cute cardigan and the shirt underneath. </p> <p>What other colors did you get that cardigan in? You might also keep the tee and jeans and just switch out the cardi with one of the others too.</p> <p>If you have time, I'd love to see what you think of my outfit today - color would not have occurred to me naturally (just not what I'm always drawn to) so the suggestion is quite helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/medusa-motg-1-attempt#post-101404 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:26:34 +0000 medusa 101404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here it is, inspired by today's blog post:</p> <p><a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/outfit/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG1723.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG1723.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://s605.photobucket.com/albums/tt133/medusa_style/outfit/?action=view&#038;current=CIMG1724.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s605.photobucket.com/al.....MG1724.jpg</a></p> <p>Kut from the Kloth jeans, Plaid ruffled tshirt from Urban Outfitters, blue Gap cardigan, Me Too Swann flats. (I'm also wearing earrings and my red watch.)</p> <p>What do you think? I'm not sure how well it works.</p> <p>Any comments on the cardigan? I found it at Gap on sale for $15 - I actually got 4 of them in different colors because they seemed like such a good deal. I'm thinking keep - do you agree? </p>
