You did a great job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457764 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 05:28:36 +0000 Tanya 1457764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much for your kind words.&nbsp; This was lots of fun, looking forward to try and interpret a new painting tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457728 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 04:11:38 +0000 Caro in Oz 1457728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is beautiful &amp; subtle &amp; I love reading why you chose the pieces </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457670 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 03:17:11 +0000 Carole 1457670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the textures and subtle patterns at play; excellent job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457655 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 03:02:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1457655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, Tanya. Another fan of your subtle pattern-mixing here (down to the shoes!) and I would like the pants, too. Maybe they're my size, not Angie's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457652 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 03:00:29 +0000 Sal 1457652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Subtle and well done, thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457645 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 02:55:06 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1457645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that this interpretation of the painting is every bit as wonderful as some of the bolder ones! I love the subtleties of your pattern mixing and the purposeful element of going light to dark in the tones. On top of nailing the inspiration element, I just think that you have wonderful taste and I always enjoy seeing how you style outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457536 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 01:01:48 +0000 Anonymous 1457536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, so sorry I waited this long to weigh in -- I thought I'd commented earlier today but then realized I was checking the challenge illicitly from work and one of my colleagues snuck up on me I love your work-appropriate redition here. Subtle but statement-y. And great print choices. I'm definitely going to add more prints to my wardrobe after seeing how good yours look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457529 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 00:51:52 +0000 AM 1457529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very thoughtful. And super look. It all comes together beautifully.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457347 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 19:57:46 +0000 Angie 1457347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And you know I'm stealing those pants, right.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457345 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 19:54:54 +0000 Suz 1457345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the soft, subtle pattern mix.

The pattern mixing definitely picks up the patterns in the painting, and it is recognizable, particularly in the close-up. I love this outfit &nbsp;on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457184 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 16:36:45 +0000 rachylou 1457184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you also got both the organic and geometric in there.

I like how you did the dark to light gradations especially. And it is great looking outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457165 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 16:24:57 +0000 Diana 1457165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, very nice, Tanya!&nbsp; I like how you incorporated the gradient from light to dark in the painting, that had not even occurred to me.&nbsp; I had some issues with my outfit not appearing dramatic enough too this morning (mine worked better in a closeup rather than the whole body shot) but I have a personal rule that<b> </b><i>I have to actually wear any challenge outfit I come up with </i>to do whatever normal things I would do on that day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457159 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 16:19:09 +0000 jackiec 1457159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya this is a fantastic interpretation of the painting! Well done! It might not seem dramatic, but all the subtle prints and tones are perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457125 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:53:56 +0000 Neel 1457125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is lovely Tanya!

Doesn't need to be bold to capture that essence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457119 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:46:22 +0000 Angie 1457119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You nailed it, Tanya. LOVE the subtle pattern mix and all the white. Killer. </p> <p>Plenty of time to be bold another time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457114 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:43:00 +0000 MsMary 1457114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great interpretation, Tanya!

It is very nicely made for the brand, lined and tailored.&nbsp; The always have these knit blazers, though the colors vary from season to season.&nbsp; I have attached&nbsp; the current version they are selling.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457087 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:11:00 +0000 Astrid 1457087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's great! Good analysis of the painting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457086 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:10:52 +0000 Anonymous 1457086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, your interpretation is so well thought out and looks wonderful on you. Where did you find your pale knit blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-picasso-challenge-1#post-1457083 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:07:38 +0000 Tanya 1457083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my interpretation of the Charnel House painting.&nbsp; I focused on four aspects:<br />1. The color scheme- greyscale from lightest to darkest<br />2. The placement of the colors - darker on the bottom and lighter on the top<br />3. The hectic nature of many geometric and curved shapes - reflected by mix of three patterns<br />4. The super pale grey/stone background - reflected by knit blazer of the same color</p> <p>I like the outfit itself, but it is somehow not dramatic enough to interpret the painting in my eyes.&nbsp; I could have gone for the mix of bigger patterns which might have helped, but I feared it would have been too much for my workplace. </p>
