Today we're expecting rain. The snow level is pretty high. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773563 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 15:54:50 +0000 Bonnie 1773563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are perfect additions to your beautiful capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773557 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 15:44:43 +0000 Rambling Ann 1773557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaileen, higher but south of Merewether, and no smog! DH is up in SLC this week, worst air pollution in the country. He can't wait to come home. A grey sweater with that scarf sounds pretty.</p> <p>If only the winter whites were practical in my current lifestyle...that said, we are working toward opening a business in town that will put me in the public eye front and center, and this whole farm gig with camo hunting pants won't work. So I have a while to try out this fantasy collection before I have to put it into action.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773477 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 04:57:28 +0000 AM 1773477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Winter whites with those pale blues. Wonderful. Soft, serene yet so striking. What a wonderful collection.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773472 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 04:33:24 +0000 Anonymous 1773472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen - Since I think I have previously outed myself geographically<br /> I can say I live close to the official Salt Lake City benchmark of 4331'. With the persistent inversion we're possibly colder here than some of you at higher elevations and thus I am charmed by Rambling Ann's Diebenkorn palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773430 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 23:57:22 +0000 JAileen 1773430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RA, I had no idea you were so high. We're at 4700, I think. I wear the scarf with a grey sweater, and usually jeans because it's casual here. The jewelry you've shown would work with it. I usually wear silver hoop earrings.</p> <p>Merewether, where do you live (roughly speaking)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773423 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 23:21:35 +0000 Rambling Ann 1773423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merewether, waving from 6850' where linen is a fleeting fancy.<br />Janet, I wish I'd seen that.&nbsp;<br />Jaileen, lovely scarf - how do you where it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773384 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 20:17:40 +0000 Anonymous 1773384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diebenkorn is a great favorite of mine and I admire how you have refected his geometry as well as colors. Even his non-representational painting seems to have a spatial sense of landscape which your accessories echo.</p> <p>I seem to recall you are a fellow Intermountain West dweller and appreciate the category "faux spring". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773355 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 17:11:55 +0000 Janet 1773355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice, and I love that watch! I have an old watch that I bought in Switzerland 25 years ago that has a similar face, but with black, not silver.</p> <p>The Matisse Diebenkorn exhibit at the BMA was just wonderful -- I wish it has stayed longer. I bought the catalog. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773347 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 16:23:43 +0000 JAileen 1773347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved your collection last month, and this month, too. The color scheme is so calming. But I especially love the earrings, both the sea glass, and the abalone shell. Now I want some!</p> <p>I have a scarf that reminded me of the painting. It has a little more green, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773321 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 14:52:26 +0000 Rambling Ann 1773321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all, I'm glad you think it's working. I woke up this morning wondeingr when linen-wearing season begins. Since it's still below freezing here for another three months, that's just wishful thinking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773279 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 13:38:32 +0000 Angie 1773279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer palette.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773275 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 13:04:51 +0000 El Cee 1773275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely collection!

I really like the idea of using paintings as inspiration. I have never heard of Vivienne Files website before now, so thank you for mentioning it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773232 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 06:05:28 +0000 Barbara Diane 1773232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how the colors and details reflect the painting so well, and add so much interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773230 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 06:02:40 +0000 rachylou 1773230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces.

I love the soft watery colors and light neutrals with the tiniest bit of black line for grounding </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february#post-1773223 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 05:53:16 +0000 Rambling Ann 1773223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last month, I <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project">posted</a> about doing a Vivienne Files virtual shopping project for a year, inspired by a Diebenkorn painting. I wanted to see if I could maintain interest in a small, tightly curated collection by adding one outfit per month. So far so good.</p> <p>I spent more time than I should have all month thinking about what to "get." &nbsp;A coat before they disappear. I wanted something pretty for Valentine's day, but still casual and comfortable. When I found the watch almost right after the last post, it solved the "problem" of a direction for jewelry, and was so obvious when I realized that I already have and love some paua jewelry from New Zealand (dreaming of the watch). Themes I'm seeing emerge: subtle color blocking, squares over circles, and mixed materials.</p> <p>Stepping into the confessional, I did buy the scarf from January's post, and it has a lot more olive in it than I expected. That's a good thing, olive is one of my main neutrals along with a lot of black. It's taken a lot of discipline not to pitch all my black clothes this month. I've realized that by this time in the winter, I am craving lighter colors but I still need the warmth for at least three more months. Maybe I need 3 small capsules: a darker fall/early winter, a lighter late winter/faux spring, and true summer. Right now I need to not shop and let the fantasy wardrobe play out for a while longer. Next month will have more of a spring feel, maybe an Easter outfit?</p> <div><br /></div><div>The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?collection=3728">collection</a> as it stands after two months.&nbsp; </p> <p> </div></p>
