The shape is a bit off.<br />Vickie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orphan-challenge-pinkpurple#post-1066027 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:18:00 +0000 Glory 1066027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Amy - day 4 you are doing great! I hear you on the gathering. For me, I find it too sweet - but that is for me. I love the idea of this colour for you but perhaps not this particular cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orphan-challenge-pinkpurple#post-1066019 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 15:01:55 +0000 amiable 1066019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm - it might make a terrific scarf - I'll play with that. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orphan-challenge-pinkpurple#post-1066012 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:52:37 +0000 El Cee 1066012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey... just a thought... could you, instead of tossing,&nbsp;repurpose the sweater and make a handbag or infinity scarf? Having an orchid accessory might be nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orphan-challenge-pinkpurple#post-1066008 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:47:48 +0000 amiable 1066008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh - Orchid! Perfect name for the color. &nbsp;Thank you!</p> <p>And yes - I like the color, and even like it on me - but don't think this cardi is all that fab... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orphan-challenge-pinkpurple#post-1066006 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:46:33 +0000 El Cee 1066006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your idea of a&nbsp;pop of color over the&nbsp;"column of denim", but I agree with you that something is a bit off about the shape and length of the sweater. If you decide to toss it, I hope you will look for something else with this orchid color, as it is very flattering on you. BTW -- I am enjoying watching your "orphan challenge". Makes me realize that I probably have both unnoticed gems and duds in my closet. I am&nbsp;in need of a&nbsp;sorting/sifting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orphan-challenge-pinkpurple#post-1066002 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:36:02 +0000 amiable 1066002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's still October, so I figured now is the perfect time to get in those pink and purple orphans, right?</p> <p>I'm not sure whether today's orphan is pink or purple. &nbsp;What do we call the color that's in between the two? &nbsp;I've been thinking of this cardigan as a pinkish purple. &nbsp;I like it's color - it's out of the norm for me. &nbsp;But I don't like the gathered shoulders, and the entire shape seems kinda blah to me.</p> <p>What do you think? &nbsp;Does it earn it's keep? &nbsp;(pic #3 is my pinspiration for this color. &nbsp;The cardi is almost exactly the color as the inspiration shot - even though it doesn't show that way in my pics.)</p> <p> </p>
