Outfit 9 is just sublime. I love your style, and find it very inspiring. Thank you for posting this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0516-20-painting-inspired-edition#post-354612 Tue, 24 May 2011 01:34:09 +0000 greenglove 354612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida,<br /> You are so inspiring to look at. These outfits are amazing- all of them. I think what is so wonderful is the unexpected mixture of patterns, colors and proportions. That is what great art does. Your interpretations are spot on. You have captured the mood of the paintings in very unique ways without being literal. Very fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0516-20-painting-inspired-edition#post-354587 Tue, 24 May 2011 00:34:28 +0000 chouette22 354587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that I see all of your outfits juxtaposed with the paintings, I am even more impressed. Your interpretations were spot on and very interesting. Somehow I had missed your #7 = fantastic. LOVE #3 - you must wear that again. All of these outfits prove once more what great sense of style you have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0516-20-painting-inspired-edition#post-354585 Tue, 24 May 2011 00:33:58 +0000 Aida 354585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!</p> <p>Amy - The sun was glorious, short as it was Thanks for bringing some back from Cali with you ^^</p> <p>Sammi - Hehe, I have shorts+blazers on my mind too! Loved the look you posted and am totally wanting to find a good pair of denim shorts now.</p> <p>Sarah - Thank you for creativity comment, fashion is my main creative outlet these days so being able to combine it with great art really inspired me; I'm glad it shows! The loose silk scarf in #4 was one of my favorite finds of the week, hadn't tied one like that before. Definitely useful for warmer weather, just wish more of my scarves were large like this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0516-20-painting-inspired-edition#post-354573 Tue, 24 May 2011 00:13:53 +0000 sarah 354573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing how the colors and patterns inspired you - what creativity you possess! I really like outfit #2 with the turquoise ring. Brilliant. And wearing your loose scarf in outfit #4 seems like a great way to keep wearing scarves on into the hot weather. And the colors in outfit #5 are delightful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0516-20-painting-inspired-edition#post-354533 Mon, 23 May 2011 22:07:14 +0000 Anonymous 354533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit #2 is amazing...I love everything about it! Such great pattern mixing, edgy vibe, and fabulous snake skin shoes!!</p> <p>I also really like your last outfit. I'm enjoying shorts w/ blazers right now and I really like your breezy, sophisticated interpretation. The yellow is super fun too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0516-20-painting-inspired-edition#post-354529 Mon, 23 May 2011 22:00:19 +0000 amyreh 354529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these look great! I didn't get organized enough to do this challenge, maybe the next one, but you did a fantastic job. Wasn't all the sun a nice change! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0516-20-painting-inspired-edition#post-354525 Mon, 23 May 2011 21:39:57 +0000 Aida 354525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just for fun I thought I'd add a little about my "half planning" and how much I had to change a lot of these outfits due to weather.</p> <p>For #9, my original plan was written down as follows:<br /> white blazer<br /> chambray shirt<br /> mustard belt<br /> mustard necklace<br /> olive skinnies<br /> brown pumps<br /> ADD: POP OF PURPLE</p> <p>Key elements are there, but the items themselves are certainly different. Good lesson learned for me that planning full outfits doesn't work for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0516-20-painting-inspired-edition#post-354519 Mon, 23 May 2011 21:22:59 +0000 Aida 354519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-2011-keepsake-thread">Picture Perfect Challenge</a>! Most of these were quite out of my comfort zone/new styles to me, but I was pleased with the whole lot and feel like these are all looks that are a step further than what I'd put together normally; would love to hear what you all think about what it is that makes this so.</p> <ol> <li>Monday, worn to work then out for tacos (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351031">discussed here</a>).</li> <li>Inspiration for #1: Picasso's "Boy with a Pipe"</li> <li>Tuesday, worn to work (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-2#post-351596">discussed here</a>).</li> <li>Inspiration for #3: Klimt's "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I"</li> <li>Wednesday, worn to work (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-3#post-352252">discussed here</a>).
