Take that das boot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450861 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 02:36:55 +0000 Aida 1450861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gauche, you're right about the saturation levels. Purple and orange are also both secondary colors. A normal "complimentary" color to purple would be yellow, directly across from it on a color wheel. This is A more complex pairing: Triadic colors form a triangle shape and purple and orange both fall into a triangle like this (the third shade in this case being green).</p> <p>(I just did a quick search and found <a href="http://www.tigercolor.com/color-lab/color-theory/color-theory-intro.htm#color_harmonies" rel="nofollow">this page</a> which has some info on color harmony.) </p> <p>EDIT: And I don't think prints would be too much :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450844 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 02:22:25 +0000 Karie 1450844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a different and fun color combination!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450842 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 02:19:24 +0000 Anonymous 1450842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would never have believed these colors could work together so beautifully.&nbsp;Color experts, can you explain why, in terms of the color wheel and all that? Because the purple and burnt orange are equally strong (saturated?) and balance each other out? And because they're all solids -- prints would have been too much? I'm still mystified. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450833 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 02:11:12 +0000 jackiec 1450833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never thought of that colour combo and it's awesome!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450822 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 01:35:38 +0000 Carla 1450822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colour combo, and I would like to see more of that skirt!</p> <p>Do you have a topper that is about six inches shorter than the sweater in the pic? Showing more skirt will elongate the leg line, even with flats and 'das boot'. I am also thinking anything snowleaopar-ish could work as an alternative outfit. </p> <p>Also, navy or teal and rust for another combo. (Can you tell that I REALLY like that skirt?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450800 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 00:52:38 +0000 Style Fan 1450800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colour combinations.&nbsp; Great skirt.&nbsp; Yes we are 3D and pictures are 2D so pictures are not accurate.&nbsp; You look awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450771 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 23:16:27 +0000 Aida 1450771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, lavender purple and rust! Who knew!?? Love the color combo. The proportions are fun, not conventional but you <i>certainly don't</i> look a mile wide </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450728 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 22:21:52 +0000 Sara L. 1450728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the shape of that skirt and the jacket is great.&nbsp; I can't see the jacket colors properly unfortunately.&nbsp; I frequently look wide in photos - it's just the way I'm built.&nbsp; It's so hard to get an accurate perspective from a photo since it's a 2d medium and we are 3D people. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450669 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 20:00:07 +0000 Keturah 1450669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I don't think you look a mile wide. The skirt pleats and open jacket help draw the eye up-and-down, balancing out the chunky sweater quite nicely.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><div>It's not a super-sleek look. &nbsp;But not wide either.</p> <p>xo</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450668 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 19:58:41 +0000 Keturah 1450668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a fresh beautiful pairing of color!!! Darling, you are one delightful chic Fabber! I love how you play with color. It inspires me greatly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450656 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 19:42:06 +0000 jenanded 1450656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I love the colour combo! I kinda love the chunky patterned sweaters on others but prefer the look of a sleeker knit... in that colour of course. Nice toastie outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450574 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 17:45:25 +0000 Angie 1450574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic colour combination. LOVE. Nicely done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450560 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 17:31:00 +0000 rachylou 1450560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I admit the colour combo sounded crazy to me, but it's fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450546 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 17:12:20 +0000 Ruth M 1450546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, back to sweater weather - that's not supposed to happen :(&nbsp; The orange-y tints in the sweater do show up better on J Crew's own site, though not so much in your photo, as you said.&nbsp; I absolutely love your skirt!&nbsp; I think everything works together and you look fab, as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450543 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 17:07:17 +0000 Nebraskim 1450543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that unexpected color combination. I wonder if the sweater hem is too low and that is what makes this look "wide." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450540 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 17:04:04 +0000 Archer 1450540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm - no- like your boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-33-burnt-orange-lavender-and-purple#post-1450536 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 16:53:53 +0000 MsMary 1450536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been pretty cold here (relatively speaking) so I am enjoying my sweaters for a change. You can't really see it in the photo, but the lavender sweater has a bit of pinky orange in the heathery weave so it plays nicely with the burnt orange skirt.</p> <p>Burnt orange skirt: ASOS c/o goldenpig<br />Lavender sweater: J Crew<br />Purple blazer: Amber Sun<br />Black patent loafer: Payless<br />Black satchel: Cole Haan</p> <p>The proportions here are not what I usually wear but I think they kind of work (even though the iPhone photo makes me look a mile wide - ugh!). What do you all think?</p>
