It all works together well and the white clutch is so cute.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0411-metropolis#post-906295 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:05:36 +0000 Aida 906295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all! I was tickled that I had this necklace on&nbsp;hand&nbsp;for this poster, it worked out pretty perfectly ^^ I'm a huge fan of Art Deco artwork, and especially love having jewelry reminiscent of the period.<br /><br />Rae, the nail plan ended up being almost over-ambitious. I had a hard time keeping up with it! I don't know how nail art bloggers do it, makes me exhausted just thinking about it. Today's nails&nbsp;turned out pretty sweet, so I'm more than happy to finally get to wear it for more than a day https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0411-metropolis#post-905935 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:40:08 +0000 Suz 905935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is gorgeous and I especially love the necklace.

Your monochrome interpretation really works. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0411-metropolis#post-905913 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:26:46 +0000 Jaime 905913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful and inspirational - I will just make my pointy white shoes flat. Great necklace too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0411-metropolis#post-905814 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 07:08:53 +0000 Lantana 905814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I very much like the grey palette you have chosen here. I am finding I am more drawn to the current silhouette when it is interpreted, as here, in neutrals. Nails, again, are so effective.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0411-metropolis#post-905770 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 04:59:16 +0000 jayne 905770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ i am not a fan of grey jeans, but this outfit could change my mind. &nbsp;Loving the metallic touches and those jeans, I must say, just look great on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0411-metropolis#post-905764 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 04:53:45 +0000 rae 905764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a perfect necklace for this challenge! So retro-twenties dystopic&nbsp;metropolitan&nbsp; I can't stand it. The lines are kind of echoed in the rouching of the booties, too. I don't know how you keep up with all the new nail looks, but I am happy to sit here and drool! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0411-metropolis#post-905756 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 04:29:50 +0000 Aida 905756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>Movie poster: Metropolis (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4" rel="nofollow">group thread</a>).</i></p><p>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. I planned my outfit around the dark-to-light vertical gradient, and chose heathered/textured items to pick up on the graphite quality of the shading. Today's outfit is the only one where I deviated from the poster art directly, swapping the black-and-gold color palette of the poster for the black-and-white palette of the movie itself.</p><ul><li>Charcoal heathered tee - dark color (top), reminiscent of graphite shading</li><li>Gray jeans - medium color (middle), slim as a nod to vertical buildings</li><li>Cream booties - light color (bottom)</li><li>Deco necklace - angled lines at the top, nod to the movie's time period</li><li>White clutch - well this is just for me ^^</li></ul><p>I had different nails planned for today but ended up having such a looong day before that I just didn't have the energy (nor time). So in the spirit of the poster I simplified! Instead of my originally planned black-to-silver sponged gradient, I did glossy black (darkest poster shade) and silver accent nails (nod to the robot) with two freehanded black stripes (nod to the vertical buildings). And lastly, in keeping with the b&amp;w theme I wanted a low contrast lip color so I chose a sheer plum gloss. Possibly a less "2013" outfit than it could be, but I feel like the roomy tee, pointy booties, and daytime clutch keep things plenty current.</p><p>Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome!</p>
