It takes a lot of experimenting to find the right shades, though; usually if the color is mixed with white instead of black or gray there's a chance it could work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0430-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-609378 Tue, 01 May 2012 18:23:48 +0000 Meredith1953 609378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What lovely serene outfit on you! The proportions and the soft colors are gorgeous. I am astonished that you can wear soft colors equally well as you do the bold saturated colors. Lovely pic of your mother too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0430-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-609374 Tue, 01 May 2012 18:12:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 609374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your interpretation of the challenge picture Aida - your outfit has such a serene quality about it.

As instructive as it is about my wardrobe/style, it's also a great way to learn some things through others that I may not just on my own (isn't that the YLF way? ^^ ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0430-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-609367 Tue, 01 May 2012 18:00:01 +0000 Sona 609367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love seeing your beautiful Mom's picture.thank you for sharing with us!

Just like your Mum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0430-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-608853 Tue, 01 May 2012 02:05:41 +0000 Suz 608853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I was so touched by your comments about your mother. Your hair looks beautiful this way (as it does all the other ways you wear it, of course!) But how lovely to think of her and share a photo with us. </p> <p>I always find these challenges so instructive. Both in terms of what they teach me about my own wardrobe and how to use it, and also what they show me about others'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0430-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-608850 Tue, 01 May 2012 02:02:11 +0000 Aida 608850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(For my YLF blog! Hope you gals don't mind me <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-style-challenge-inspired-by-nature---day-1">posting the photos twice</a> ^^)</p> <p><em>African elephants at twilight, Chobe National Park, Botswana</em></p> <p>This is the toughest day of this challenge for me, as the beautiful rose and lavender shades, and even the taupe which is my current color obsession, that dominate this photo are completely un/under-represented in my wardrobe. So I looked at the textures instead, focusing on the water and the elephant skin, as well as the very serene feeling of the photo. I have to say that I am _super_ happy with how this outfit turned out!</p> <p>The water is fluid and clear, which I'm representing with this peach sheer silky top AND because the water is so still I'm sporting the very very rare straightened hair*. The elephant skin is thick and wrinkly, which I'm representing with the (elephant!) wide leg denim which is a structured fabric yet still drapes.</p> <p>I added my pearl stud earrings to represent the moon and its reflection (*waving at everyone else who did the same*), light gray heels to represent <a href="https://www.google.com/search?um=1&amp;hl=en&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=685&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=1&amp;q=elephant+toes&amp;oq=elephant+toes&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=&amp;aql=&amp;gs_l=img">elephant toes</a>, a long pendant as a nod to the trees in the background, and rose-gold watch because I wanted at least ONE rose item in the outfit. And for outerwear my gold purse to keep with the serene colors, and a vintage silk scarf that has all of the pretty colors from the photo.</p> <p>(* OT, I feel like my hair styled straight shows my Armenian side much more strongly than normal, which comes from my mom. I'm definitely looking more like her today!)</p> <p>Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome! </p>
