I should start earlier, so I don't get sick of the shopping and give up. It's not like my life surprises me with fancy events. I just dread the process, procrastinate, and self-perpetuate my expectations. If that's all I learn this year, that's worth it. </p> <p>I forgot to add the shoes I might actually be able to wear. I haven't decided to buy anything yet. Would any of these work with a dress like that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---march#post-1782968 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 10:09:47 +0000 Anonymous 1782968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an incredibly fun, fun project. &nbsp;I am sorry I missed the earlier installments, but I'll catch up today. &nbsp;</p> <p>March is breathtakingly gorgeous. &nbsp;The colors evoke the sea. &nbsp;</p> <p>This sentence jumped out at me. &nbsp;"<i>My finds are littered with things I like on their own but weren't harmonious together. I can understand better why some of my IRL attempts have been so hit-or-miss: not allowing enough time to test everything together or a plan for returns." &nbsp;</i>This single sentence might explain my personal wardrobe mishaps. &nbsp;It takes discipline to test everything together. &nbsp;Beside Angie, I wonder how many of the rest of us have that discipline. &nbsp;Obviously something to strive for in the future. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---march#post-1782965 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 09:48:33 +0000 Style Fan 1782965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous pieces.&nbsp; The colours remind me of the seashore.&nbsp; I love your choice of jewellery.&nbsp; The brooch is very unique and would&nbsp;provide so much interest to an outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---march#post-1782952 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 08:20:27 +0000 Sal 1782952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these dreamy blues. &nbsp;The palette is indeed stunning. &nbsp;I would wear all these pieces together and feel very stylish doing so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---march#post-1782935 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 05:15:51 +0000 Anonymous 1782935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your finds are gorgeous and perfect with your pallet. I love that flower brooch. It reminds me of pieces made in the 1940's in the early days of plastic. My mother had some clear plastic pieces similar to this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---march#post-1782921 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 04:11:55 +0000 Rambling Ann 1782921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>March already and time for another installment of my Ocean Park project, where I am picking an outfit a month inspired by a painting. I heard the first meadowlarks of spring today, there is hope for warmer weather. It's also time to start thinking about Easter, graduations, spring weddings and dinners with sweethearts. Even if there's only one pretty dress in the closet as an emergency back-up plan, it makes sense for our imaginary BFF to have something nice ready to go.</p> <p>We've already got a suitable coat, so this month is simple. Dress, shoes, bag, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/123981654/sea-glass-scarf-magnet-brooch-blue?ref=shop_home_active_1">amazing brooch</a> on Etsy. I think our BFF would really appreciate both the retro feel of the resin bag and the flower pin made out of recycled plastic bottles collected from Arizona golf courses. I imagine her stumbling across it at an art festival and knowing it would fit into a future outfit.&nbsp;This dress could support a lot of different accessories, and with the right sweater, jacket or shawl, could be pretty seasonless.</p> <p>Fancy frocks are my weakest area of shopping and I learned a lot this month from selecting this outfit. I found loads of lovely dresses, accessories, shoes, but getting the whole package together took a lot of shopping. My finds are littered with things I like on their own but weren't harmonious together. I can understand better why some of my IRL attempts have been so hit-or-miss: not allowing enough time to test everything together or a plan for returns. And for myself, I've got to face facts and start with the shoes. Have them on hand before the dress, or at least be able to return both and start over. But there are more dresses than shoe options that work for me. I myself could not wear shoes with that high of a heel, I will post some in the comments that I could wear, not sure how they would go with that dress. But this is aspirational, and my BFF has unfussy feet and a party to go to.</p> <p>Does it still hang together?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project---february">February</a>&nbsp;- last month's outfit<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocean-park-project">January</a>&nbsp; - the original plan<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?collection=3728">entire collection</a>&nbsp;so far </p>
