I love these colors and that dress looks incredible on you. Raebot rules! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620631 Tue, 15 May 2012 22:45:14 +0000 Aida 620631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this color combo (though I have to wear it with much brighter shades)! Great visual inspiration photo, I'm a huge fan of rust and metal oxidation photography. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620596 Tue, 15 May 2012 21:44:01 +0000 Janet 620596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! One of my favorite color combinations -- not surprisingly, it shows up in my artwork a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620594 Tue, 15 May 2012 21:40:09 +0000 Ana 620594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress is so cool on you, Rae! I remember it from the nature challenge week. I love how you added the quirky robot necklace to really make the outfit "Rae." You look fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620591 Tue, 15 May 2012 21:38:13 +0000 rae 620591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Manidipa, I love Raebot for many reasons - so happy you like him!</p> <p>Beth Ann, you are right on both counts - I run cold *and* work in a cold office. It's a nice sunny day today, and I've got my jacket and heater on ATM. O_O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620573 Tue, 15 May 2012 21:20:50 +0000 Louise 620573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous print, I love the way the brown jacket picks out the brown in the pattern x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620559 Tue, 15 May 2012 20:47:01 +0000 Jjsloane 620559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colors together and what fun that it was so easy to dress. Always love seeing the "Raebot" . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620511 Tue, 15 May 2012 19:52:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 620511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pairing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620477 Tue, 15 May 2012 19:12:51 +0000 Jonesy 620477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this color combo and the dress is awesome. Perfect accessorizing too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620442 Tue, 15 May 2012 18:45:14 +0000 Beth Ann 620442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific look, Rae. Am I remembering correctly that you live in SoCal? I'm amazed at your ability to layer all year long. I'm guessing you either work in a refrigerated office, or you run cold. Either way, you look sophisticated and fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620433 Tue, 15 May 2012 18:27:33 +0000 ManidipaM 620433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE everything about this! Some of my favourite colours together. But Raebot is the BESTest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620411 Tue, 15 May 2012 17:59:54 +0000 rae 620411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, that sleeping copper kitty is SO CUTE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620406 Tue, 15 May 2012 17:56:31 +0000 christieanne 620406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am obsessed with all things copper right now so had to do a little visual free association in appreciation of your WIW today since I liked it so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620389 Tue, 15 May 2012 17:35:49 +0000 rae 620389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I considered a lighter shoe, but felt I needed to bookend my hair in this case. Also, Hubs made me promise not to wear the dalmatian booties with skirts, lol. I will still take a look and see, though!</p> <p>Diana and dianthus, I SO wanted to use verdigris in the title, but I thought oxidation included the rust color as well. It's such a pretty word - glad it still got some love on the thread! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620368 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:59:57 +0000 Kirti 620368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab! Such a perfect colour combo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620367 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:59:47 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 620367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color combination and verdigris was the word I was looking for too. I find color combinations that occur in nature are often beautiful translated into outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620365 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:58:02 +0000 annagybe 620365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm curious as how your dalmation booties would look with this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620359 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:51:44 +0000 rae 620359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I like the simplicity, too, especially with all that is going on with the dress - pattern, draping, knotting. I am happy, too, because I hadn't worn this jacket much and was afraid it might not work for the warmer months. </p> <p>Angie, I didn't think about SGT this morning, but it totally is with the robot, boots, and draped dress!</p> <p>Claire, yes, the colors are very southwestern, aren't they? Oxidized copper robot laying out in the desert... *fab* image. </p> <p>Diana, you can do it for sure. I know you have some teal to work with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620342 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:34:54 +0000 JennyAnne 620342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said. Some simplicity makes that dress shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620341 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:33:00 +0000 Anonymous 620341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look on you, Rae. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620316 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:56:48 +0000 K. Period. 620316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I love that you let the boldness of that color combo really stand out as the main attraction. It is perfect! Edgy and fun, but in a very wonderfully relaxed way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620311 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:45:25 +0000 Makrame 620311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool (and I love the title of your post)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620306 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:24:54 +0000 Sara L. 620306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I don't think I would have put these colors together on my own (even though I live in the Southwest) but they look great together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620304 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:23:41 +0000 modgrl 620304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620296 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:16:30 +0000 Diana 620296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Verdigris! </p> <p>Perfect color combo... now I want to see if I can do this too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620287 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:07:40 +0000 Anonymous 620287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is really delicious! Turquoise and rust: very southwestern too. You have made that sheath dress your own! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620281 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:58:24 +0000 Tanya 620281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Swoon! Love everything about this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620277 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:54:54 +0000 Angie 620277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>I like the simplicity and strong statement, SGT Rae. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-oxidation#post-620255 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:40:33 +0000 rae 620255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I waited a whole week to wear this baby again - one of the things I love about K/R posts is that they leave you with a bunch of ready-to-go styling ideas. I was dressed in about five minutes this morning!</p> <p>Paired my agate print dress with my rust jacket without thinking about it, but I was very pleased when the combination made me think of rust and oxidized copper - fun way to bring that distressed feeling into an outfit without falling back on the faded, sunbleached colors that I complain about (at AllSaints, for example - no brights). Added the Raebot to continue the industrial/metal theme a little bit. </p> <p>Rust suede jacket - Forever 21<br /> Michael Michael Kors agate print dress - 6pm.com<br /> Brown Perlina bag - $8 via Goodwill!<br /> Boutique 9 mystery booties - swap meet<br /> Raebot necklace - gift from Hubs </p>
