I love how you’ve bought your ideas together - what Lisa P says about the best designers! I’ve always looked at Peruvian Connection and wondered about their clothing. I love the look and that dress on you looks amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired/page/2#post-1950847 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 00:56:16 +0000 Brooklyn 1950847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, yes! That would be quite a change for me! I’m open to it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired/page/2#post-1950846 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 00:54:52 +0000 Brooklyn 1950846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Cat, the theme of the Heavenly Bodies exhibit was the influence of Catholicism on fashion. So there were quite a few crosses. What inspired me about the necklaces was that they were shorter than the current trend, chunky, gold, and very ornate with large pendants. The overall look feels fresh to me after years of wearing very long necklaces. From my point of view, the pendant wouldn’t have to be a cross. Thanks for your comments.</p> <p>Dana, thanks! I am gradually getting rid of my heeled boots. The flat ones are so much more comfortable and add that slightly casual, tough element that I like.</p> <p>And thanks Viva and Bijou! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired/page/2#post-1950845 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 00:54:40 +0000 rachylou 1950845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blue and gold would be a real shakeup! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired/page/2#post-1950817 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 23:10:54 +0000 The Cat 1950817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colours. Lovely dress. Not keen on the crosses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired/page/2#post-1950712 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 15:05:55 +0000 Dana 1950712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm completely inspired by how you were inspired!! I think I will view art museums (etc.) differently now.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look amazing in that wrap dress!! I love that although it's body con and sophisticated, you de-bombshelled it with the flat boots. I have a somewhat similar dress and want to wear it with flats. I have booties, but I love the look with tall boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>High five to layered necklaces!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired/page/2#post-1950698 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 14:14:46 +0000 Bijou 1950698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stunning dress, it suits you perfectly. I love that you have taken inspiration from your recent trip. As a lover of metallic and gold in particular, I am looking forward to you spring / summer interpretation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired/page/2#post-1950671 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 12:48:57 +0000 viva 1950671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the brooch-as-pendant. Lovely look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950655 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 11:54:01 +0000 Brooklyn 1950655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now THAT is a compliment Thanks CL!</p> <p>Thanks Shevia. I am loving the layered necklaces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950593 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 05:21:36 +0000 CocoLion 1950593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now THIS is elegance. &nbsp;Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950568 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 03:27:42 +0000 Jaime 1950568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a pleasure reading your thoughts on inspiration and planning you look. And you are off to a racing start with that dress and jewelry. You have such a great eye for layering necklaces too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950556 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 02:30:47 +0000 Brooklyn 1950556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha Suz. You beat me to it. I was going to say Byzantine jewel was a natural “regression” from dark romance, but I thought that would sound odd I am finding the theme thing a helpful way of freshening up my look and sorting through trends. Like most people here, I am interested in trends as a way of changing up my look from time to time but I don’t want to just grab at everything. I need a plan! So, for instance, I am thinking the mustard trend could be a good way for me to incorporate more gold. That fits with my grand plan. But I think I will pass on the lilac trend. (Even though I like some shades of lilac!)</p> <p>Thanks Ginger!</p> <p>Thanks MJ. That’s high praise coming from you, you very stylish lady :)</p> <p>Suntiger, a peacock room sounds awesome. I’ve never been to DC but it’s on my list.</p> <p>And thanks Lyn, Jussie, UF and Sterling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950555 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 02:17:49 +0000 Brooklyn 1950555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lisa. As I said to Smittie, I do enjoy brights on others, but not so on much me. I think they work better for me as part of a pattern or as an accent. Not so much as solids. The theme thing really helps me to keep on track and resist impulse purchases. I would love to see your jewellery!</p> <p>Christina, you are so lucky to be able to enjoy the Met whenever you want. It is the best!</p> <p>JAileen, thanks!</p> <p>Katerina, thanks. Not nearly as creative as you! And you didn’t miss anything. It’s not Spring yet! My theme for Spring is a little more abstract and harder to explain than “dark romance”. It’s probably best demonstrated with visuals. I will try to collect some over the next few weeks. </p> <p>And thanks Canada and SarahD8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950551 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 02:00:52 +0000 Brooklyn 1950551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Smittie. I like brights too. On others. Not so much on me. Every time I see a post of Angie’s from the Netherlands I get a strong urge to citron bomb my wardrobe :)</p> <p>Thanks RC, Joy and Windchime.</p> <p>Nomad, thanks that’s very flattering! Good to see you back!</p> <p>Sally, thanks. I actually bought a sleeveless Peruvian Connection dress in a similar wrap style for warmer weather. I tried on half the shop when I was there. Fortunately a lot of their items didn’t fit me quite right (because I really liked the aesthetic and I don’t know of anything similar here). </p> <p>Thanks Jenn and Karen13.</p> <p>Thanks Angie. I am surprised! But pleased of course </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950512 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 23:35:05 +0000 Anonymous 1950512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice dress! I am happy to see any colour combos, muted , bright. It’s all good. I love your gold necklaces.</p> <p>It is neat to take inspiration from the world around you, not just what’s on the runway or in stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950507 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 23:08:30 +0000 Carla 1950507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember that Angie once said that travel changes a person - and I agree. This new view is a fabulous morphing of your style from where it is to where it might go. The styling of the new dress is aspirational. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950497 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 22:41:28 +0000 Anonymous 1950497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SWOON! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950492 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 22:27:57 +0000 Windchime 1950492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The table in your 6th inspiration pic is spectacular; I love it! This style shift will look wonderful on you, as does your dress, jewelry, and burgundy coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950482 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 21:48:47 +0000 Nomad 1950482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always, always, always adore your aesthetic and outfits.

I can't wait to see more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950470 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 20:35:52 +0000 Sal 1950470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What wonderful inspiration - I can see how it flows from the Dark Romance and that some of your jewelry and dark pieces can flow through with more gold and hints of colour....</p> <p>And the dress is lovely - great with the boots but I can also see it with sandal boots in spring or autumn or similar.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950463 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 20:03:48 +0000 Jenn 1950463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your Met photos look lush and luxurious. I love the idea of translating that into fashion. And I quite like the Peruvian Connection dress on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950393 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 16:08:57 +0000 karen13 1950393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I can’t wait for your next fall/winter! This looks great on you and will mesh so well with your existing pieces.

Very nicely done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950347 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 14:15:56 +0000 Anonymous 1950347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning, as usual . &nbsp;I love how you use what you see in your travels as inspiration for a season - it's how all of the best designers plan their lines &nbsp; &nbsp;Baroque and complex patterns in jewellery are so fantastic and now you've got my brain whirring. &nbsp;It's a jewellery look I used to wear some years ago, and still have some good pieces....what a cool idea for this fall. Picking a theme and dressing /buying around it is really a great planning tool. And as for brights on the forum? &nbsp;Although I wore a crazy bright jacket yesterday, I'm more of a muted tones lover too. No purples and pinks and reds for me &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950346 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 14:13:02 +0000 Christina F. 1950346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That exhibit is a great inspiration! I quite like your dress, even though I'm a fan of brights. I think it's perfect for you, which is the main thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950342 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 14:03:23 +0000 JAileen 1950342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit, your dress, your jewelry, your inspiration.

The Byzantine jewel is a brilliant and unique idea and the colours, patterns and the whole “vibe” will suit your style perfectly. </p> <p>And I am intrigued - what is the theme for the Spring? Have I missed it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950334 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 13:38:23 +0000 Canada 1950334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous necklaces and clothing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/met-inspired#post-1950333 Wed, 22 Aug 2018 13:33:11 +0000 SarahD8 1950333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely fabulous!
