As I look back at the pic the shape is not as unflattering as I first thought. Whilst I normally tend towards cleaner lines and a more sporty look, maybe I can sometimes add a more romantic touch.</p> <p>Thanks Angie for the challenge and getting us all outside our comfort zones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-the-dream#post-1460541 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 18:11:36 +0000 rachylou 1460541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your spring/summer shimmer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-the-dream#post-1460516 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:52:00 +0000 E 1460516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what a lovely outfit! Even if it was just for dress up. I think you captured the womanly sense of the painting beautifully, and you look so summery too. I love silky skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-the-dream#post-1459490 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 13:37:48 +0000 Sara L. 1459490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great interpretation!&nbsp; I had some of the same thoughts about the painting.&nbsp; That loose sort of peasant top that is allowed to fall off her shoulder.&nbsp; I think your look captures that feeling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-the-dream#post-1459394 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 07:48:57 +0000 Sal 1459394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting Firecracker, I do wear all the components of it although they are not my favourites. &nbsp;From about 2005-2010 I wore this type of look more... although often an A Line skirt, sometimes a fitted tee, sometimes jeans with a patterned top and a scarf.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not an art expert but to me Picasso is a very sensual painter - there is a male body part in the head of this painting for example, lots of bare breasts appear in his work. &nbsp;So I wanted to wear something that was very feminine but not girlish, and a little disheveled- this is how&nbsp;I see the woman in the painting (I don't have to work very hard to be RATE though).</p> <p>It was fun to try on a look just for fun....it has given me a few ideas. &nbsp;That has been the fun thing in the challenge - just seeing how different people come up with new ideas both within their established style persona and outside it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-the-dream#post-1459375 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 06:04:35 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1459375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it fun to pull together an outfit to try, just because. . . there's a YLF challenge? You look great, so summery, relaxed, and pretty with a touch of RATE. I like your hair, too. Just curious: Do you think you would wear this outfit? I think it looks fine--it's just a matter of whether it fits with where you are now, style-wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-the-dream#post-1459373 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 06:01:46 +0000 AJ 1459373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This type of interpretation involves more creativity and thought. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-the-dream#post-1459368 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 05:44:50 +0000 Neel 1459368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! What a brilliant interpretation. I mean I have been only using colors as my inspiration, because I hardly know much about history. But I got some history lessons today Fun outfit and thought process </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-the-dream#post-1459340 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 03:05:34 +0000 Jaime 1459340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your thoughtful interpretation and your look evokes just the mood you described. You look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-the-dream#post-1459266 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 01:10:38 +0000 Angie 1459266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS</p> <p>A beautiful lateral interpretation, KG. Your hair looks super cute too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/picasso-challenge-the-dream#post-1459253 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 00:56:21 +0000 Sal 1459253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been enjoying everyone's interpretations of these paintings and have commented where I can. &nbsp;It has been hard to keep up!!</p> <p>This was probably my second favourite of the five artworks&nbsp;after the acrobat. I decided not to worry about the colours in the painting but to go with the era, the place and the theme. &nbsp;So I am trying to be mid 20th Century&nbsp;South Mediterranean with a full skirt and a sort of peasant top (actually a tunic but tucked in). &nbsp;I added a vintage belt and some pearly beads (to echo the beads in the painting), and my practical sandals. &nbsp;</p> <p>I wanted to emphasise "womanliness" so the skirt and top together are not conventionally flattering to my mind. &nbsp;If you look closely the head in the painting has a very manly section...ahem. &nbsp;I thought about a tighter top with more cleavage but decided this pattern and colour was appropriate.The skirt is silky which to me is a dreamy texture.</p> <p>I used to wear this tunic a lot, and still pull it out to wear with tights around the house, over a swimsuit, or with shorts. &nbsp;The skirt is a thrift find that I have worn twice, and will keep, but I think it is more a style I wore about 6-8 years ago. &nbsp;The belt was also thrifted and I do love it but rarely wear it. &nbsp;The beads were a gift and get dragged out for the odd look and have been great for costume parties. &nbsp;The sandals are so comfortable - I am reluctant to part with them but again remind me of my style when I had small children.</p> <p>I did not wear this (I had a meeting and wore a tailored dress, heels and a jacket) so it was really me playing dress ups.</p> <p></p> <p>ETA to add the close up (sorry I don't think this is a great pic). &nbsp;The pic outside is very washed out due to the harsh sunlight at 1pm. &nbsp;</p> </p>
