This works beautifully. The dress is amazing - you are so clever to have made it yourself. approprio on "Picasso Challenge #2: The Dream" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-the-dream#post-1458295 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 20:02:20 +0000 approprio 1458295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks so much ladies. Once again you really are too kind. Neel, Summer: you give me far too much credit. I'm just looking and plundering my closet, same as everyone else ;) Neel, Sara L, Diana: I'm enjoying your interpretations too. Keep up the good work! Angie, rabbit, Firecreacker... ah yes, the mix tape. The bag is a new acquisition, a gift from my wonderful sister, who has such a knack of picking out the perfect thing for me. So what's on my '80s mix tape? Only one thing today. Weird-period Kate Bush. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wkkuaTvIso">The Dreaming</a>.

It fits you beautifully and suits your style. I love it with those pointy toed boots. The whole outfit is great. And I'm enjoying the mix-tape nostalgia you've inspired. rabbit on "Picasso Challenge #2: The Dream" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-the-dream#post-1458227 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 18:41:31 +0000 rabbit 1458227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Really stunning!   So much love for the dress, boots (bookend your cognac-y hair so well), coat and bag.    I remember when mixtapes had themes, like the color blue, or animals, or break up songs.   I still have a drawer full of 'emotionally significant' mixtape gifts from former boyfriends. Summer on "Picasso Challenge #2: The Dream" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-the-dream#post-1458224 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 18:38:16 +0000 Summer 1458224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a beautiful outfit, approprio.  I love that coat on you - no wonder you have borrowed it so often.  This is a clever and subtle interpretation of the painting, and I may have to return to it  later to assimilate all the nuances.  Very, very nice. Neel on "Picasso Challenge #2: The Dream" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-the-dream#post-1458211 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 18:26:55 +0000 Neel 1458211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really love your thought process. You make me feel a bit embarrassed of my literal color copy outfits lol! That is one awesome dress and handbag Diana on "Picasso Challenge #2: The Dream" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-the-dream#post-1458107 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 16:31:39 +0000 Diana 1458107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great dress and bag!  Love the bold pop of citron; I think the bold, graphic strokes really convey something essential about the painting. Sara L. on "Picasso Challenge #2: The Dream" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-the-dream#post-1458106 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 16:29:29 +0000 Sara L. 1458106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great dress!  I love your shoes as well.  The bag is really fun.

(And British '80s music was best).  LOVE. (You clever lass making that frock). Your hair colour represents the back curtains perfectly.  Killer rendition approprio, and fun seeing the new tattoo. Also fun that you threw in a colour combination I suggested a while ago. Not cheating. You're using your brilliant head. WELL DONE.  approprio on "Picasso Challenge #2: The Dream" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-the-dream#post-1458082 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 16:07:21 +0000 approprio 1458082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Heh, thanks ladies! shevia funny you should say that, it's been the topic of some minor consternation this season. He's not exactly thrilled but he hasn't much choice. And I hadn't thought about the chain on the bag, thanks for pointing that out! Astrid, I know, I know, but I did fess up and say I was cheating, no? I really tried to find a bit more colour, but somehow everything I tried just overwhelmed it. Now, if only I had Diane's lovely red bag... Astrid on "Picasso Challenge #2: The Dream" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-the-dream#post-1458040 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:35:29 +0000 Astrid 1458040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have to say I was surprised when I saw this look at first, but at second glance it all makes sense again. It's definitely awesome! The bag is really fun and I LOVE your dress. Great bling too. Coat and shoes complete the look perfectly... Jaime on "Picasso Challenge #2: The Dream" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-the-dream#post-1458037 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:34:16 +0000 Jaime 1458037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It is absolutely perfect with Mr. Edge's coat, which I am glad he is happy to share. The bag actually reflects her necklace to me. Love your interpretations and your outfits!

The coat is fabulous too. I really like the neckline. Boots and cool back finish things off nicely. approprio on "Picasso Challenge #2: The Dream" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-the-dream#post-1458025 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:27:19 +0000 approprio 1458025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The subject matter is easier today. To tell the truth, it feels a bit like cheating. I put this outfit together when Angie suggested citron/olive/cognac and I've been waiting for the weather to be warm enough to wear it. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture. I made the dress myself from a 1940's pattern. The fabric is grey on one side, citron on the other. You might be able to see in the picture that all the back panels are sunny side up. The Margiela pour H&M coat belongs to Mr Edge but it's been on my back a fair bit  this winter. Along with my '80's mix tape bag I think it somewhat resembles the curtain behind her. I added a few coloured accents with resin accessories (eyewear, bling) and it's good to go.
