Those pants are fantastic on you. I love how the jacket and scarf complete the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book/page/2#post-1457588 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 02:12:06 +0000 tulle 1457588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh--you've got it perfectly:&nbsp; contained curves, sharp diagonals and that almost-metallic gray!&nbsp; Beautiful combos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book/page/2#post-1457585 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 02:07:26 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1457585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so wowed by this. I love how much thought and study you put into the painting. You are so right about the many different colors and textures in it. When I wasn't looking directly at the painting, I remembered it as less colorful, but when I read your description and looked at it again, it took on more dimension. And I think this was reflected in your outfit. I read your thoughts on your look and how you put it together, and your concerns of looking over the top with trends, but what I saw in the photos was an amazingly understated, yet texturally rich composite. It embodies that effortlessly stylish and elusive thing that everyone wants... And somehow that became the best interpretation of this painting. It is deceptively simple and yet detail rich. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book/page/2#post-1457518 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 00:39:27 +0000 AM 1457518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect interpretation. And wonderfully composed elements. They all work beautifully together. Keeps the eye very interested in all the parts. And then reads as chic and hip. Very nicely done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book/page/2#post-1457397 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 21:20:57 +0000 deb 1457397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those trousers look so good on you.

I find it fascinating to follow how a trend evolves for me. A few seasons ago I would never wear pants like these. Both the width and the high waist would have been absolutely no-no. Then I bought a slightly slouchy pant with a little higher waist two years ago, and now I embrace an even wider and more high waisted version. Isn't it funny how that happens?</p> <p>Angie, you are such a great sport. I might just take you on your word and go for another rendition.</p> <p>Thank you, Joy! I will contemplate another version, too, and I think I have at least one more up my sleeve.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457262 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 18:12:08 +0000 Anonymous 1457262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, you set the mark very high. This outfit looks amazing on you and captures the colors and mood of the painting. I would love to see you do another outfit based on the painting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457254 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 17:56:47 +0000 Angie 1457254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Ingunn. I didn't think of that possibility. Shame on me.<i>&nbsp;I'm changing the challenge guidelines.</i><b> Feel free</b> to post several outfits based on one painting if that tickles your fancy and makes things more fun. Please post them on SEPARATE threads.&nbsp;Why not. Rock on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457252 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 17:53:26 +0000 rabbit 1457252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job with the lines and angles and soft forms! &nbsp;And a great outfit to boot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457250 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 17:52:25 +0000 Diana 1457250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, Ingunn!&nbsp; I do not think it looks too trendy at all, rather understated with trendy elements actually.&nbsp; The new trousers are great.&nbsp; I like that the rounder, more voluminous line echoes the curved lines in the painting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457241 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 17:41:20 +0000 Ingunn 1457241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Sara! It's a pretty scarf, and I liked it best under my jacket like in #3.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, thank you so much. I think the painting is so interesting that I could do with only that for several renditions, but I'll stick to the challenge and pick another one for my next try.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, thank you! I have re-discovered COS lately, right now I think they have a great selection. I find that COS is my kind of modern: Minimalistic, simple, on trend and a lot in natural fibers. I have found several wardrobe essentials there at pleasant price points (tees, striped tops etc). I love the moto, particularly with wide pants and skirts. The scarf is from the final sales in January.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you, Rachy. I try to find that balance in most of&nbsp;my outfits, and I'm happy to hear that you noticed.&nbsp;</p> <p>Astrid, thanks! I mostly prefer to be "same, but different" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457197 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 16:43:14 +0000 Astrid 1457197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect interpretation and I agree that you still look like yourself all the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457183 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 16:35:50 +0000 rachylou 1457183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful. There's a roundness to the paintings and your outfit... it's hard to get geometric curves in clothing. Savvy soft architectural pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457163 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 16:22:56 +0000 Suz 1457163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning, Ingunn! I <b>LOVE</b> the trousers, and they do not look overly trendy to me -- just so fab I want a pair myself! Then again, you have exactly the right pieces to pair them with. That moto was the buy of the season for sure. The scarf is absolutely glorious, bringing light to your face and also picking up the lines of the painting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457133 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:59:49 +0000 Angie 1457133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Another killer interpretation, and wonderfully trendy too. The scarf is <b>perfect</b>. Love the way you styled the trousers. And your green eyes are the cherry on top, Ingunn.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457066 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 14:49:39 +0000 Sara L. 1457066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how you used the lines in the scarf to mimic the lines in the painting.&nbsp; Interesting interpretation. I like your pants too - fun new look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457054 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 14:40:38 +0000 Ingunn 1457054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thank you! I feel a bit silly for even asking, but sometimes I just have to get a second opinion.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the COS pants are a great addition to my S/S wardrobe. They are replacing a pair of cropped chinos from Hope, and I like these even more. The fit is better (they sit at my natural waist), and they are roomier and more cropped. After seeing Angie rock her cropped pants in Hong Kong, and reading her advice on how to wear such pieces, I gathered confidence and pounced.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457046 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 14:32:09 +0000 Jaime 1457046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off Ingunn, this is a fantastic outfit regardless of the challenge. The COS pants may not be everyone's taste but they are mine and they look fantastic here. That moto has turned out splendidly every time you wear it. And no, you don't look at all like you are wearing too many trends. Everything plays together beautifully.<br />I also appreciated your way of interpreting the picture as the movement of textures and think you captured that very nicely with your outfit. In short, great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457037 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 14:19:32 +0000 Carole 1457037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! I can see the painting within your outfit....very chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1457009 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 13:40:16 +0000 amiable 1457009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - gorgeous! &nbsp;You look like yourself, and I can see your inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1456998 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 13:06:27 +0000 jackiec 1456998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done. I like all your layers and think that they echo the lines and movement of the painting to my eye. And the subtle shifts of colour of the painting are echoed in your layers of colour. You look so great - not like you are trying too hard at all. Fab moto and great new COS pants - you wear them well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1456984 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 12:08:38 +0000 Tanya 1456984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you cptured the mood of the painting beautifully Ingunn.&nbsp; Loe how all the colors and shapes play together, it creates quite a moody look (in a good way). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1456976 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:52:39 +0000 Ingunn 1456976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everybody! I'm glad you're not thinking I look like a fashion victim :)</p> <p>Deb, I value your analysis very much, and I appreciate that you took time to elaborate on your impression of my outfit. I considered leaving out the moto for the very same reason as you mention: Too angular and tough for the shapes in the painting. But I needed the colour, and I don't have any other topper that would be a good substitute.&nbsp;<br />My experience with the moto in general is that it needs something to soften it for me to feel good wearing it. I particularly like wearing it with skirts and slouchy trousers.&nbsp;</p> <p>Aliona, you are so right. There is so much going on in the painting, and it is very difficult to grasp it all in one go.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1456971 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:42:57 +0000 donnat 1456971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great interpretation, You really nailed it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1456970 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:40:48 +0000 Anonymous 1456970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally on target to my eye, Ingunn! This is my favourite painting, too, but I found it a huge challenge because of the colour tones and all the other elements going on in the painting. I agree with Deb about loving the scarf lines echoing the book. And the outfit is fab in its own right. Love!</p> <p>Oh, and I think it's completely age appropriate. Hope you are rocking it and feel fab all day long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-1-young-girl-reading-a-book#post-1456956 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:03:45 +0000 Deb 1456956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An interesting and delightful interpretation Ingunn and I like your use of colour and texture. When I initially looked at your outfit, I felt that I wanted to see the curves of this artwork. On closer observation though, I see there are subtle curves in your outfit in the crew neck, buckle, your glasses, the scarf around your neck and also your body. I love the way the lines of the scarf mimic her book. Well done Ingunn, you look modern and classy. </p>
