Fabulous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab/page/2#post-1536391 Sun, 09 Aug 2015 00:25:21 +0000 Melinda SF 1536391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love this on you. &nbsp;it actually helps balance the warm/cool due to the citron and gray in it. &nbsp;the fit and shape are totally flattering and the red in your hair color keeps the attention on your face.</p> <p>Ok, I love the birks, I have a pair myself. &nbsp;I'd want to see you play with a lower contrast shoe as the white is so bright (and it may be the photo) against your skin that it almost draws TOO much attention. &nbsp;A more neutral color shoe could be another opportunity. &nbsp;or a strappier sandal that doesn't have such wide swaths.&nbsp;</p> <p>Again, that's a nit pick. &nbsp;I love this outfit and would wear it myself! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab/page/2#post-1536367 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 23:03:41 +0000 Anonymous 1536367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the olive, as another redhead might say. &nbsp;Also like how the color calms your hair color and complements it. I am always aware of that possibility but there is something to be said about choosing the wild card. &nbsp;For me, that is purple magenta. &nbsp;And it actually looks good! &nbsp;Interesting comment you make--masquerading as a Deep but you are really a Bright! &nbsp;I need to explore that concept. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab/page/2#post-1522982 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 16:48:37 +0000 Angie 1522982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the pattern with your red hair. Cools it down nicely.&nbsp;</p> <p>Killer.&nbsp;That will keep you cool, Rio. Elegant Mechanic Chic.&nbsp;</p> <p>(I can bat for Team Jumpsuit too now. Just bought this one at the NAS). &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab#post-1522861 Sun, 19 Jul 2015 06:07:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1522861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this jumpsuit on you! The colors, the divine print, the way the print and the garment design work together, the beautiful fit and cool style. Wow. I like it with the white Birks, too, and your sunglasses.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab#post-1522620 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 19:28:34 +0000 approprio 1522620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback, <b>Summer, Brooklyn</b> and everyone else! Key is that I can get away with warmer colours in the right combination. This is good to know. </p> <p>And Brooklyn, I can never bring myself to hate on matchy matchy. I know I'm not supposed to like it, but I do.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab#post-1522334 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 10:53:25 +0000 Summer 1522334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you definitely got away with it. &nbsp;The olive is quite subtle mixed with the navy and white in the pattern, and the overall effect is complementary to both your skin and hair colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab#post-1522322 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 10:19:54 +0000 Brooklyn 1522322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I opened your photos before reading your commentary and my first thought was wow that colour looks sensational on her. So I really don't think there is a problem at all. I like the sunnies too. Could be a bit matchy matchy with the print but I like that because it amps up the fun factor of the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab#post-1522291 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 07:51:49 +0000 approprio 1522291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, thanks ladies! you're all so very kind :)</p> <p>Looking at the pictures, I see that this works better in broad daylight than it does indoors in front of the mirror, which seems to highlight the warm/cool contrast. I hadn't seen that before but I can live with it because this is a piece for getting out and about in the sunshine.</p> <p><b>AG</b>: I can see you really rocking a camouflage print in blue or grey. Maybe I have already? I like a bit of military/utilitarian detail too but&nbsp;I stick to dress uniform references in the main.&nbsp;I find that pattern a bit tricky and I'd not exactly battle ready.</p> <p><b>smittie</b>: I reckon you could rethink that. I thought I was a summer until I started taking photos and realised I looked pasty in soft colours and quite good in black. Anyway, it's hardly an exact science. We mix and match.</p> <p><b>kiwigal:</b> yeah, I thought I'd better call myself out before someone else did. (Thanks for the shout out on the other thread btw. It was very kind of you.)</p> <p><b>Aida:&nbsp;</b>yeah, that was kind of my thinking. Something like this is easy and hard at the same time. You don't need to do too much with it but anything you do has to be absolutely right. Thanks!</p> <p><b>tulle:&nbsp;</b>that's a very interesting point. The print is busy and bold at the same time, there's a lot going on. I'd normally wear it with black or blue but the Birks are so comfortable and I thought the white made a nice change.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks again for all the thoughtful feedback. So helpful to think these things through with others.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab#post-1522280 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 06:57:28 +0000 tulle 1522280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fascinating print, and beautifully sewn.&nbsp; I don't think that the colors are so much of a problem (on my screen the olive reads almost as citron, lifting and brightening) as the intricacy of the pattern itself, which sort of scatters the viewer's attention, if that makes sense.&nbsp; but who cares?&nbsp; It's way beyond JFE, and it looks cool and comfortable, too.&nbsp; The white shoes seem a bit accidental to me (I'd probably choose&nbsp; black) but not bad. I love the bronze-y snaps--pretty, and good planning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab#post-1522273 Sat, 18 Jul 2015 06:04:30 +0000 Jenava 1522273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not gonna over analyze.

Which is how most people will view you Love the white slides with the look, and I don't feel like you need any white echoed anywhere else. To me the white is bright and bold, and your hair is bright and bold, so they "bookend" in that sense. Love the outfit, and what a fabulous job you did making this piece! </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab#post-1522001 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 21:24:08 +0000 kerlyn 1522001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way more than JFE! &nbsp;It's super flattering on you!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab#post-1521952 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 20:10:04 +0000 Carole 1521952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

They're grey-blue, (like the torrid north Atlantic sea-jk).<br /> I might be a winter.<br /> Alaska gril- you have a camo t-shirt that I love because it's greyed out and looks like it would go nicely on cool colouring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---warmcool-colour-lab#post-1521867 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 17:48:06 +0000 catgirl 1521867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fantastic and I agree the red hair makes it extra sassy.

They're called jumpsuits because you <a rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumpsuit">jump out of planes in them</a>, if you're so inclined. You won't catch me doing any of that. Not my cup of tea at all.

'Jump' out of the suit, as you say, a creation from YSL. </p> <p>I wonder where playsuits got their name though? So you can get out and 'play' in them?
