KILLER, AJ. You look casually stunning. Strong and simple. My favourite </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-204716 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 06:35:28 +0000 AJ 204716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone!</p> <p>Yes, triads are hard to pull off...I was lucky my sandals were in the yellow-orange category.</p> <p>londonkiwi - Nope, never a dancer. I did a lot of theater in high school. </p> <p>Actually, my first school play was when I was in 1st grade. I was assigned to be a ballerina but my mother did not know what a tutu looked like (we had moved from the Philippines shortly before this) so my teacher changed me to Raggedy Ann who was bald because Raggedy Andy had got candy stuck in her hair and it had to be shaved off. So I wore a stocking on my head and then Santa comes and puts a wig on me. During rehearsal, I was devastated when all the kids laughed at the wig. For some reason, on the night of the play, I rather enjoyed the laughter from the audience and that's when the drama bug hit! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-204681 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 03:55:49 +0000 Luinae 204681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, the triad is amazing! The blue and the dark red is cool- it's a subtle triad, not too in your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-204640 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:33:56 +0000 tarzy 204640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my God - you're stunning in that last red &amp; turquoise. (I think that's one of Angie's fave combos too.) It's amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-204639 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:30:31 +0000 Vix 204639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love seeing what the AChic bloggers do with their color challenges, and am glad to see you shared your take on them!</p> <p>Like them all, but am with the majority on finding #3 my favorite. Thanks for posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-204282 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:10:24 +0000 Scarlet 204282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, I like all of these outfits on you, but I am wild about that blue in the first one. So pretty and fresh with the white! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-204249 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 16:56:27 +0000 Lynne 204249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, I love how you steered off the primary red, blue and yellow triad to get a triad of red-violet, yellow-orange etc....very effective! I'm always tempted by those colour wheels .... Have you posted on Academichic? You should - your outfits are stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-204217 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 15:31:19 +0000 Carole 204217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, AJ! I've been following the color wheel blog on Academic too, but haven't had time to absorb it. The different color combo's are inspiring, though, aren't they. Great idea about using an actual color wheel. I geuss I should drag mine out. I love all your outfits, but my favorite is #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-204177 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 14:12:51 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 204177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab looks - I love #3 best too, but you always look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-204167 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 13:07:03 +0000 PalmFronds 204167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was following that Academichs post too and still couldn't figure some of those triad combos, but wow you did such a great job with it! You look great, third combo is my favorite too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-204163 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 12:40:05 +0000 Kristine 204163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I love all of these. You put together some interesting color combos. I'll have to try this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-204150 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 07:32:12 +0000 mumtojessandluke 204150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab :)<br /> I love those naturaliser sandals.. i brought a pair in a slightly darker brown in Australia I love how they extend your leg line, and look fab with shorts. I had a similar idea in mind when I brought them, but it isn't quite shorts weather here yet. I love the fact that the look is really working </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-203997 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 00:13:36 +0000 Sparky 203997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stylish and pretty as usual, AJ. Climbing on board ~ my fave is the last outfit. Those lovely sandals really do give you an amazingly long leg line. I love that deep red on you and the beads take it all up a couple notches. You look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-203951 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 22:56:57 +0000 Dana 203951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, I love all of your outfits, all of the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-203901 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:05:09 +0000 taylor 203901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GEORGOUS...one and all!! the most beautiful skin !!! I am insanely jealous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-203888 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 20:43:55 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 203888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite is the last one too, but I think that you look stunning in all of them. Were you ever a dancer, you have such an elegance of poise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-203880 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 20:35:24 +0000 Sharon 203880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, love the last look! The colours are terrific and I really like the cropped jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-203804 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:23:36 +0000 AJ 203804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lisa! I like me in color too! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-203798 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:17:17 +0000 AJ 203798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kim! I recently bought a small color wheel from a hobby store and it has been such an invaluable tool! I would not have thought to put that necklace with that top either it</p> <p>I've looked at color wheel websites, but I don't think the colors translate the same on the screen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-203796 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:16:28 +0000 Lisa 203796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like you in color. They all look great but my fave is the third one. Not only are the colors here fabulous on you, but the fit of everything is perfection! Especially the (?) clams. And your legs look a mile long with those sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-203785 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:10:31 +0000 Queen Mum 203785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love them all AJ. I think my favorite is the last one. Love those turquoise beads with the deep red (almost looks burgundy on my screen) I would have never thought of that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-exploring-the-color-wheel#post-203777 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:04:21 +0000 AJ 203777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every once in awhile, <a href="http://www.academichic.com/2010/07/26/refresher-course-color-wheeling-2/">Academichics</a> experiment with different color combos.
