Happy to hear you like it. I'm definitely looking forward to more denim jacket weather. :) @Suz, you're right, they aren't like my old ones at all. I'm starting to see that now! Specs shopping is hard, I'm glad I had you all to help me with it.

Like Angie, I want to shout from the rooftops about how flattering that lighter/ brighter jacket is on you and also the scarf. Wow! But your specs are the absolutely clincher! I can't believe you thought they might be too similar to your old ones at first. They are so, so fresh and stylish on you. LOVE!!

My winter capsule was very small in any case and mostly made out of things I bought new in fall/winter. And with so little clothes it made sense to go for the neutrals first. I'm trying to lighten up a bit overall, but it's been difficult. approprio on "Picasso Challenge 2: Woman with a Book" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-woman-with-a-book-1#post-1458038 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:34:54 +0000 approprio 1458038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it. So great to see you in bright colours! And the new specs are lovely on you.

The specs are so cute and flattering!

I love the new glasses and the jacket and scarf are such a pretty interpretation of the painting.

The scarf was the perfect solution, I don't think I have anything else with those colors left in my wardrobe. Thank you, Angie! I'm really happy about them. I'm going to have a smaller clothing budget because I got them, but they're definitely worth it. And I can see much better again too, with the new lenses I'm back to my old tried and true prescription value. And I haven't forgotten your mantra "to lighten up", but it's slow going. Thanks Tanya! That scarf is the oldest one I own, I bought it at a Vintage Festival when I was thirteen. Thanks Carole! The earrings are a souvenir from Scotland.

The earrings are the perfect touch and the scarf adds the "wild" part for the outfit. Tanya on "Picasso Challenge 2: Woman with a Book" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-woman-with-a-book-1#post-1457996 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:05:49 +0000 Tanya 1457996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Stunning interpretation, Astrid!  You look very pretty in bright colors and I love your new specs.  The scarf looks very Picasso-esque. Angie on "Picasso Challenge 2: Woman with a Book" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-woman-with-a-book-1#post-1457990 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:01:05 +0000 Angie 1457990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Killer specs. Wooohooooo, Astrid. They look amazing.  I LOVE THAT BRIGHT TEAL JACKET AND HIGH CONTRAST SCARF ON YOU. Wow.  Sorry for shouting. I'm very excited to see you wear lighter and brighter items close to your lovely face. Very flattering. Wonderful interpretation of the painting too.  Sara L. on "Picasso Challenge 2: Woman with a Book" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-woman-with-a-book-1#post-1457982 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:56:23 +0000 Sara L. 1457982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, great new specs!  I'm on the hunt for new ones myself.  I like your scarf to bring in the yellow and orange colors of the painting. Astrid on "Picasso Challenge 2: Woman with a Book" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-2-woman-with-a-book-1#post-1457981 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:54:38 +0000 Astrid 1457981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here's my interpretation of the second painting. I added a picture of the earrings I'm wearing, I thought they went well with the flowers in her sleeves. AND I'm wearing my new specs! I still have to get used to them, I got them this morning. I feel like they change my look completely. (The close up was taken with the phone, so please excuse the bad quality.)
