Thanks for sharing the thought process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0917-seasons-challenge-drinking-pheasant#post-1559780 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 23:03:02 +0000 Aida 1559780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow thanks ladies! I didn't expect this to go over quite so well; I had the hardest time photographing it and felt like it was much better in person. Fun to hear I'm not the only one feeling like adding a Little More these days.</p> <p><b>Jaime</b>, hah well I had a good chuckle at that! I think my view of the bird is skewed by the fact that we have a large waterfall/pond immediately on the left side of where these photos are taken and birds are constantly playing and drinking in it. Sometimes even while I'm taking photos! I see no eye of the beholder issues here ^^</p> <p><b>Diane</b>, the cream certainly made me feel much happier with the outfit. I didn't have it on originally and almost changed, so am glad I thought to try it.</p> <p><b>Dee </b>and <b>Diana</b>, teehee it is quite ALGO isn't it! This outfit is actually much more reminiscent of how I dressed when I first came to YLF years ago -- I had a particularly strong boho/layering streak in me then. It'll be fun to figure out how I feel like doing it this time around. In summer it's mostly manifested as Mixing All The Patterns </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0917-seasons-challenge-drinking-pheasant#post-1559689 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:36:09 +0000 Diana 1559689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fantastic pattern mixing!&nbsp; I too am really looking forward to seeing some more of your More Maximal outfits.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think it's brilliant how you have used all the different textures to evoke the detail and patterning of the plumage.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0917-seasons-challenge-drinking-pheasant#post-1559686 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 20:30:11 +0000 Dee 1559686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at the pics before I read the text of your post and thought this was a) awesome and b) the most ALGO outfit I've ever seen from you. The combination of layers and textures gives it a lot of depth and references the inspiration in a unique way. </p> <p>More maximal is going to be a fun season for you. I'm looking forward to all your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0917-seasons-challenge-drinking-pheasant#post-1559636 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 19:11:24 +0000 Jenn 1559636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in awe that you put together this outfit, and that it works.

Lol Shevia!</p> <p>Aida, you've brought together textures and shades here that all play so beautifully. How -do-you-do-it?? Fabulous! I think the light cardigan helps to calm the look down and of course, it's&nbsp;your signature light tones that you love dearly&nbsp;:)</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0917-seasons-challenge-drinking-pheasant#post-1559261 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 06:50:45 +0000 Ankita 1559261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous rendition! I love how you layered and incorporated patterns...and you look amaaaaaazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0917-seasons-challenge-drinking-pheasant#post-1559209 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 02:04:55 +0000 Jaime 1559209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you can combine so many colors and textures and manage to look like a work of art instead of a mess - rather like nature herself. I also love how you see drinking pheasant and I saw vain bird. Does not reflect well on the seer, does it ;-)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0917-seasons-challenge-drinking-pheasant#post-1559192 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 01:32:19 +0000 Anonymous 1559192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not one, but two items with feathers on them! <br />I think this is my favourite outfit of yours so far </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0917-seasons-challenge-drinking-pheasant#post-1559175 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 01:05:59 +0000 Aida 1559175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah Rachy yes! I'm all for More is More. I've been doing Minimally Maximal a good while now, which I quite enjoy. But I'm feeling A-Little-More-Than-Minimally Maximal this season. Not quite Maximally Maximal, something more streamlined than that while still feeling like More.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0917-seasons-challenge-drinking-pheasant#post-1559171 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 01:03:45 +0000 rachylou 1559171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! It's all out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0917-seasons-challenge-drinking-pheasant#post-1559166 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 00:56:50 +0000 Aida 1559166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the fourth day of the challenge, I chose the drinking pheasant (#4).</p> <p>[Challenge info and guidelines posted <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photos-and-guidelines-for-seasons-and-nature-challenge" rel="nofollow">here</a>.] <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/photos-and-guidelines-for-seasons-and-nature-challenge" rel="nofollow"></a></p> <p>Initially I was drawn to the idea of reflection; I'd planned on doing a mirrored plaid outfit (plaid on top, plaid on bottom), but when I put the outfit on it felt too wintery so I'll shelf that idea and return to it later in the season. Instead I looked at the mix of color and pattern, and played with the idea of layered textures to represent the bird's dense feathers.</p> <p>While I don't wear a lot of brown I do enjoy wearing soft muted shades particularly with cream and/or rust. I didn't focus too heavily on representing the tones faithfully, rather went for a similar overall "color feel". Also painted my nails a delicate gold (#3). It's actually sheer with little gold flecks, so at some angles/in some lights it just looks like plain shiny nails while at other angles/in other lights it's a very glittery soft gold. </p> <p>For pattern I chose a peacock feather print blouse, textured tights that evoke feathers or an extremely simplified bird silhouette, and added my leo clutch as a nod to the somewhat dotty pattern on the pheasant's back.</p> <p>As for texture, that ended up being my favorite part -- Every piece in this outfit has a different texture: the blouse is a sheer silk, cardigan a fine-yet-meshy knit, shorts are a soft woven tencel, boots a ruched faux leather; the clutch is pony hair, earrings hammered metal, sunnies are resin, and of course the tights are an open-weave crochet knit. (Whew!) Not sure if I've managed to put together quite so many different textures in a single outfit before, even one as heavily layered as this, but I really like the depth it creates. (And back to crazy 80s hair, yay!)</p> <p>Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome! </p>
