The outfits happen to be a beautiful reflection of your impressions, too. Thank you for posting these.  Ornella on "WIW :: Inspired by Autumn Photos - Outfits Round-up" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-autumn-photos---outfits-round-up#post-1076262 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 04:44:29 +0000 Ornella 1076262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beth Ann :: great idea :-D   Beth Ann on "WIW :: Inspired by Autumn Photos - Outfits Round-up" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-autumn-photos---outfits-round-up#post-1076198 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 03:24:39 +0000 Beth Ann 1076198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All amazing and beautifully. I think it would be interesting to take cues from Christmas ornaments.  Not too literally, of course, or one would look like a heap of tinsel!  But what about taking inspiration from the kind of ornaments that have sentimental attachments --- made by children, or vintage ornaments from our childhood?

I love how you are inspired by nature. The photography is beautiful, and your outfits are a visual delight. Ornella on "WIW :: Inspired by Autumn Photos - Outfits Round-up" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-autumn-photos---outfits-round-up#post-1076153 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 02:52:54 +0000 Ornella 1076153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Lisa. That was also what I noticed - while in some cases I'd naturally choose different core colour (e.g. in outfit #7 I'd not reach for grey turtleneck as the 'background'), greys or browns are what helped create the Autumnal mood. The whole thing also gave me a better understanding of the seasonal colour analysis as such.  Lisa on "WIW :: Inspired by Autumn Photos - Outfits Round-up" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-autumn-photos---outfits-round-up#post-1075673 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 19:44:26 +0000 Lisa 1075673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a fun idea!  It's interesting to see that even neature uses a core color (grey, brown, etc) and adds pops of other colors (leaves, flowers).  And what a nice way to come up with new color combiantions to try.  #1 is my favorite but all these looks are fun. Nice job!

It's inspiring to know these interpretations speak to you and I am especially happy for that. Thank you. As for group challenge, I guess something can be done about it. Let's wait for the best time for that. catgirl on "WIW :: Inspired by Autumn Photos - Outfits Round-up" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-autumn-photos---outfits-round-up#post-1075445 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 17:19:30 +0000 catgirl 1075445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ornella, you make me smile with these amazing themed posts.  You are the best.  And you look as beautiful as nature in bloom.

More exactly from 3-8 if I remember well-  but saw them now and was delighted, again! I just wish your new house will have enough free space for exposing there some of your beautifull picties. Your outfits are all very well coordinated with these--esp love nr 3-4-5.  I also like fall colors and  applied them to most of my sunny outfits this autumn in Sept/Okt.-some were unexpected combos (for ex.green and purple) but they are plenty to be found in such a  glorious mix outdoors. You just have to observe nature with open eyes and heart.  I see, your spring  shawl (the green one) is doing a good job for fall, too:-).

This was a wonderful idea, and I love what you say about its helping you to pay attention to nature.

I want to do this too! (I don't think I can couple it with my current orphan challenge very easily though - so I think I'll do it in December). This is completely amazing!

I love how creative you are with outfit creating! And how you get inspiration out of a season even if typical fall colors aren't your thing.  Day Vies on "WIW :: Inspired by Autumn Photos - Outfits Round-up" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-autumn-photos---outfits-round-up#post-1075236 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:18:04 +0000 Day Vies 1075236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Awe struck and speechless. This looks like it could have been one of my studio projects in college. I love the color variation and the unexpected combinations. This is simply wonderful and a wonderful way to show off just how radiantly beautiful you are inside and out. (BTW marking as a favorite -- I saw a plum colored tree next to a sunny yellow bush this morning and now I'm trying to work that into an outfit.)Thanks for the inspirational post! carter on "WIW :: Inspired by Autumn Photos - Outfits Round-up" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-autumn-photos---outfits-round-up#post-1075232 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:15:10 +0000 carter 1075232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So pretty!

It was fun and it was interesting, so things went on in the same manner for several days. After all, I recognised that familiar excitement of coming up with something I'd never think of without the outside source of inspiration, which I know all too well from the Picture Perfect Challenges, so why stop? Colours are very important to me and my wardrobe choices in general, but I wasn't sure how this experiment would go. I am perfectly happy to describe myself as Winter in terms of colour analysis, e.g. I love wearing both black and white and I prefer clear and deep, jewel tone colours. I love high contrasts. So creating outfits around the moods and colours of muted, soft atmosphere of Autumn made me look at things in a new way. Which is always good. Looking back, I was surprised to see I had plenty of options to create what I interpreted from the photos used in this series. I certainly felt the most like myself when wearing those colours or combinations which would be my more common choices, but as any challenge - this one brought its share of surprise findings, colour combinations and styling tricks I plan to use in the future. As an added bonus, I started looking at the nature around me with even bigger admiration - Autumn is the time of fast and very noticeable changes, and you have to really pay attention otherwise you can miss one tree going from luscious green to bare and leafless in a matter of days. It does offer its share of drama for sure, maybe not so dramatic in terms of colour contrasts, but it certainly is in terms of the power and intensity of those changes. I've truly enjoyed putting these outfits together. Thanks again to everyone who was with me throughout this experiment and all your wonderful comments.   <ul> <li>"Who needs a fashion magazine when you have a tree?"
