These are all fab, I loved reading what inspired you for each outfit (and am honored to have been part of it!). I felt a similar desire to pull out "on hold" items as well, or even buy new ones; I think you did a great job incorporating pieces in your normal rotation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-perfect-challenge-late-week-long#post-379705 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 00:44:42 +0000 Debora 379705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I have this thread bookmarked as a favorite so I can copy that outfit! White jeans - check! Polka dot top - check! Yellow bag - check! I don't have a navy blue blazer, but maybe DD's denim blazer will work. Stay tuned.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-perfect-challenge-late-week-long#post-379703 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 00:41:15 +0000 bella 379703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How did I miss this? You look great Lisa! Each outfit looks inspired but unique in that special Lisa way. Not only did I love your outfits, I really appreciated reading your inspiration and thought process for each outfit. Thanks so much for playing along and putting so much thought and effort into this. You are a good sport! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-perfect-challenge-late-week-long#post-379693 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 00:30:38 +0000 Lisa 379693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping for Bella. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-perfect-challenge-late-week-long#post-357878 Sun, 29 May 2011 01:51:24 +0000 Lisa 357878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debora-Can't wait to see your new jeans and the AT top in an outfit! Top triplets, yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-perfect-challenge-late-week-long#post-357876 Sun, 29 May 2011 01:50:05 +0000 Debora 357876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Lisa, you are so awesome! What great interpretations! </p> <p>Tara, that is our top!!! Now I want to copy Lisa's version. I just bought white jeans (finally!) yesterday and I want to copy this look as soon as the jeans pass YLF inspection. </p> <p>Well done, Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-perfect-challenge-late-week-long#post-357873 Sun, 29 May 2011 01:44:40 +0000 Lisa 357873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Medusa-Aww shucks, thanks! *blushing*</p> <p>Heather-Thanks! I was unsure if the flare for the denim dress was making me look wider on the bottom half, this is why it was in the donate pile. </p> <p>Tara-Yes, the black and white polka dot shirt is from AT. I need to stay away from there, I'm starting a polka dot fetish with them, so many fun polka dots in there lately! The gold pants, are by IZOD, which actually make clothes for golfing. They are a very soft material, when you rub it, it feels like one of those couches that you can rub the material one way and it lays flat, the other way and it looks roughed up, think the material on a couch from the 1960s. (I hope I'm making sense) Or think microsuede but thicker. The tag itself says the material is: cotton/spandex. I picked these pants up from an IZOD outlet last fall. The only time I've seen women's clothing by IZOD is in the outlet. I know Macy's carries the brand, but they might be for men only. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-perfect-challenge-late-week-long#post-357852 Sun, 29 May 2011 00:18:02 +0000 tarzy 357852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so good in all of these! It's nice to see you break away from all jeans.</p> <p>Is that polka dot shirt from AT? I think I have the same one, which I copied from Debora!</p> <p>Can you tell me about the gold pants? (I'd love to find some light colored casual pants that are not jeans and not chinos.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-perfect-challenge-late-week-long#post-357842 Sat, 28 May 2011 23:24:54 +0000 Heather 357842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I cannot believe the denim dress was in the donate pile! Glad it was fished out!!! You look terrific. I also love your navy/black mix. Brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-perfect-challenge-late-week-long#post-357803 Sat, 28 May 2011 21:51:51 +0000 medusa 357803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.

I think my favorites are outfits from days 2, 3, and 4. I love the strong and simple look of 2. The polka-dot top in 3 looks great on you and goes oddly well with the cameo. 4 is just so pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-perfect-challenge-late-week-long#post-357519 Sat, 28 May 2011 14:14:33 +0000 Isis 357519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all your outfits, but Day 5 (pic 10) is so incredible, I can't stand it!

Your cleaner and sharper style is really coming through, Lisa. Well done!! I cannot pick a favourite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-perfect-challenge-late-week-long#post-357201 Fri, 27 May 2011 23:16:49 +0000 Lisa 357201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I really liked the picture perfect challenge started <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule">with rules</a> by Bella, but had bad lighting (rain) and not much creativity/ideas for outfits that week.</p> <p>But now, it is sunny, the challenge has passed, and some great outfit ideas were posted by other participants each and everyday.</p> <p>So here's my take on the week. I noticed, I kept pulling from "on hold" items to complete the challenge.</p> <p>Day One-Picasso's Boy with a Pipe<br /> As seen <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1">here, many participants</a> went with a overall blue outfit. I struggled most with this outfit as I do not favor warmer colors in my wardrobe. The denim dress is all blue, and was in the donate pile. The cowboy boots and belt are my nod to the warmer orange background in the painting and the flower necklace is my nod to the flower headpiece on the boy.</p> <p>Day Two-Gustav Klimt's, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer<br /> I really liked the gold skirt Bella <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-2">wore on this day</a>. I was stumped for gold, until I remembered these gold pants, I haven't worn in a year! I got the waist altered, the length shortened and built the outfit around it. My black top is my nod to the lady's black hair. My patterned scarf is my nod to the mosaic detail of the painting. I got the idea to use the scarf after seeing Aida's twist with her patterns <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0516-20-painting-inspired-edition">in outfit #3 here</a>. My two tone bracelet (which is also rarely worn) is my nod to the gold and silver bangles the lady wore which I never would have noticed in the painting if Bella had not included this detail in her painting description. </p> <p>Day Three-Picasso, "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust"<br /> Jonesy wore a blue blazer and white jeans <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-3">on this day</a> which gave me the idea to wear mine. The dotted top is my nod to the black and white in the painting. Then I noticed blonde hair in Bella's description of the painting and remembered my yellow bag. Finally, MaryK wore a cameo as a nod to the Picasso bust and I remembered to include mine. </p> <p>Day Four-"Dora Maar with Cat."<br /> Color wise, this was my easiest day. There was a lot of red and purple <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-4">outfits on this day</a>. Inspired by MaryK's generally colorful outfits and superb shoe collection worn in a business setting (I had client meetings this day), I wore another "on hold" item, my purple sheath dress. Thinking of AJ's creativity with outfits, the red necklace is actually much longer, but I wrapped it around twice to shorten it. The red pumps are a nod to MaryK, and the red in the painting. The red belt is also a nod to the red in the painting. The white bag is a solid block of white, just as seen in the paintings background. The black cardigan is a nod to the black hair.</p> <p>Day Five-Van Gogh's "Irises."<br /> Irises are my favorite flower, so I found it odd this was another day I really struggled with an outfit. Then I saw, Aida's purple top, Bella's flowy cardigan and use of gray, and Jenava's light colored skirt <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-5">all in this thread</a>, and an outfit was made. The purple t-shirt and green tank were my nod to Aida's top and the purple and green of the Irises. The flutter cardigan and light gray skirt were my nod to Bella's cardigan and use of gray's as well as Jenava's light colored skirt. These colors are also a nod to the light Iris in the painting near the left and the light brushstrokes pointed out in the description by Bella.</p> <p>Comments/Suggestions on outfits are welcomed, as I am open to tweaks to wear these out in public again.</p> <p>Thanks to everyone who participated, it was great fun to read, see ideas and then brainstorm. </p> <p>I'll also post the outfits on the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-2011-keepsake-thread">keepsake thread</a>. And some observations in the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-learning-from-the-picture-perfect-challenge">what you learned thread</a>. </p>
