I did enjoy using more color than normal for the challenge week.<br /><br />Pil, thanks for sharing which details stood out to you, they're all perfectly in line with what I was going for :D<br /><br />Suz, yes that's very true, I'm definitely a pants gal. I'd hoped to spread out the pant silhouettes across the week, but it ended up being skinnies for the whole second half; at least the fit of all three pairs are a little bit different (slouchy, jegging, and normal skinny).<br /><br />Rae, good point! I would say goal achieved, fun factor high ^^ I don't think any of these particularly screams their movie poster on their own, but the Indiana outfit is probably least so ;)<br /><br />K, those pointy cream booties are a go-to for me more than ever these days! The brand is Ciao Bella and the make is called "Glorious". I got them at Sears a few years back, and they do pop them back in stock from time to time;&nbsp;they come in this bone color, a fun silver, and a few other neutrals as well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0408-12-movie-poster-edition#post-915898 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 00:37:53 +0000 K. Period. 915898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WOW! Aida, not only do you look amazing in all of these, but your use of the posters really brings the relationship between the outfit and the movie poster to life. &nbsp;Awesome. &nbsp;(And I am almost faint with love for the Metropolis variation! Suddenly, I must have high heeled white ruched booties. Must. Have.) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0408-12-movie-poster-edition#post-915895 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 00:34:07 +0000 rae 915895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It was a fun week, indeed. What more do you need to k.ow? I can clearly see the inspiration when you show the outfits next to the posters, but I would not think, "Indy!" if I saw you on the street. Love that! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0408-12-movie-poster-edition#post-915881 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 00:28:26 +0000 Suz 915881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great recap - and you looked fabulous every day. It's interesting to see the details again. It was a full week of trousers for you, yet every look was distinct.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0408-12-movie-poster-edition#post-915849 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 00:08:22 +0000 pil 915849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such an interesting recap to have everything in one place like this. Your details are so perfect - crossbody bag in1, starry-ish pants in 2, colors in 3, necklace in 4(wow!) and clutch in 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0408-12-movie-poster-edition#post-915828 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:54:35 +0000 Anonymous 915828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I loved your outfits on the challenge and your wrap up is exceptional. Thank you for posting this. Each frame looks so colorful. I just love this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0408-12-movie-poster-edition#post-915745 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:01:57 +0000 Aida 915745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry to be posting this wrap up so late! I delayed a little to reflect, hoping to come up with some good profound insights. Then delayed a little more, and a little more... But it turns out, I just had a fun week and didn't learn anything new&nbsp;(which is ok!).&nbsp;<i>I've done up a separate post for the nail art, </i><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0408-12-movie-poster-bonus-nails" rel="nofollow"><i>found here</i></a><i>.</i><br /><br />My plan for the week was to come up with outfits inspired solely by the poster art, and ignore any influence of the movies themselves. I was able to do so with all outfits but one, the Metropolis poster in #4, where I swapped the black/gold from the poster for&nbsp;black/white like the movie. Here are my outfit for the week, complete with their poster inspiration and nail art; more information can be found in each day's dedicated post, but I've added the key thought behind each here.<br /><br /><b>Day 1 - Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark</b><br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0408-indiana-jones-and-the-raiders-of-the-lost-ark" rel="nofollow"><em>Details on the day's WIW post</em></a>.<br />The top thing that strikes me about this poster is how rich it is: color, texture, character, story.&nbsp;<br /><br /><b>Day 2 - Star Wars</b><br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0409-star-wars" rel="nofollow"><em>Details on the day's WIW post</em></a><em>.<br /></em>The most iconic thing about this poster to me is the title lettering (hey, I do work in type!); beyond that, the star field makes a big impression of the poster art. So I wanted today's outfit to be tribute to those two key elements.<br /><br /><b>Day 3 - Breakfast at Tiffany's</b><br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0410-breakfast-at-tiffanys" rel="nofollow"><em>Details on the day's WIW post</em></a><em>.<br /></em>For this poster art I was really struck by the Mondrian-esque vibe and how the expanse of white really lets Holly stand out.<br /><br /><b>Day 4 - Metropolis</b><br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0411-metropolis" rel="nofollow"><em>Details on the day's WIW post</em></a><em>.<br /></em>This is a simple poster with big impact, and what really jumps out at me are the monochrome palette, strong vertical lines, and the shaded gradient.<br /><br /><b>Day 5 - Vertigo</b><br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0412-vertigo" rel="nofollow"><em>Details on the day's WIW post</em></a><em>.<br /></em>The BOLD colors and cutout-like effect of the poster are really striking, so I wanted to work around those ideas. I thought about doing a crazy vertigo-inducing pattern mix, but felt that the simplicity of the poster is its strength.<em><br /></em><br />I am pleased with how all of the outfits turned out as far as drawing from the poster inspiration, and was very happy wearing all outfits except for #3. It was a combination of things, really; the black blazer felt heavy, I didn't like how the straight leg jeans (which I don't like on myself anyway) looked with the square top of the heels, and I couldn't get my hair to behave at all that day. Still, it's a decent outfit and it photographed nicely ;)<br /><br />All in all, a wonderful challenge! Thank you again to Ornella for running this iteration, and to all who participated and commented. It was SUCH fun!<br /><br />Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome!
