I wonder why the word "clashing" is used. To my eye, these colours are not clashing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-crazy-clashing-colors-katerinas-color-challenge#post-2235275 Sun, 31 Oct 2021 13:31:30 +0000 Bijou 2235275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All beautiful and show how creative you are in putting together striking outfits.

The burgundy skirt and boots matched with the pink set is beautiful. And the teals with silver! Maybe they are all my favorites . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-crazy-clashing-colors-katerinas-color-challenge#post-2235192 Sun, 31 Oct 2021 01:49:49 +0000 rachylou 2235192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely proportions on the outfits.

High energy is definitely a good description for these, tough not one I would have thought of on my own. </p> <p>Katerina, that is an excellent plan regarding your faux leather pants, I should do the same with my new pleather items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-crazy-clashing-colors-katerinas-color-challenge#post-2234901 Fri, 29 Oct 2021 22:27:47 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2234901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah! I love the high energy of all of these. Of the first two, I like the one with the bag better; it pulls things together. The sweater set is so cool, and I like the close harmony of all the colors in the third outfit. Impressive that you came up with and executed the whole set. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-crazy-clashing-colors-katerinas-color-challenge#post-2234900 Fri, 29 Oct 2021 22:19:36 +0000 Katerina 2234900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Tanya! You are totally killing it! All the challenge themes outfits have been extraordinary. I admire the variety of your wardrobe items in terms of colours, styles, silhouettes and textures. You have collected an amazing wardrobe that is totally you, is wearable and interesting and offers so many great combining options on many themes. Kudos!<br /> I love all these outfits, and this time, I really cannot select a favorite. Btw, I am sorry for the pleather shell - it looked really great. I hope you find a fun replacement. I don’t have many pleather pieces myself - I bought a pair of cropped black pleather trousers just recently for a really low price and they look great. I decided to wear the a lot NOW, because I have heard that the materials tend to get ruined after some time. So I want to wear the heck out of them before they disintegrate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-crazy-clashing-colors-katerinas-color-challenge#post-2234890 Fri, 29 Oct 2021 21:46:15 +0000 Carla 2234890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous set of outfits, Tanya! &nbsp;The first set is my favourite, but they’re all inspired. &nbsp;❤️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-crazy-clashing-colors-katerinas-color-challenge#post-2234888 Fri, 29 Oct 2021 21:40:52 +0000 Tanya 2234888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my second-to-last entry in Katerina's color challenge, crazy clashing colors.&nbsp; The first one is a high-contrast clash, cobalt &amp; rust.&nbsp; The other two are tonal clashes, orchid &amp; burgundy, and then turquoise, cobalt &amp; teal.&nbsp; &nbsp;This was fun to do, but certainly not something I can do often.</p> <p>1) Keeping it simple with cobalt silk blouse tucked into rust pants.&nbsp; Accessories are rust booties that match the pants and lighter - cognac bag.</p> <p>2) Going tonal with orchid modern twinset and burgundy faux leather full skirt.&nbsp; Accessories are tall burgundy boots that match the skirt, and black bag. I wore it with the cardi closed as in the second photo.&nbsp; I have been seeing looks with multiple leather items together and trying it out here, but not sure I like it or if the skirt and boots together are too much.&nbsp; Old school of thought was suede boots with leather skirt and vice versa.</p> <p>3) Another tonal look, with three colors: turquoise wool blazer, cobalt faux leather shell, teal crop kick flare pants.&nbsp; Accessories were silver: snakeskin booties and old satchel.&nbsp; This was the last wear for the old pleather shell - it ripped parallel to the side seams and had to be thrown out.&nbsp; This is why I generally avoid faux leather clothing, as I find it peels/cracks easily after certain amount of time.&nbsp; I caved and got a couple of new pieces this year with faux leather trending (including the skirt in #2), we will see if these new ones fare any better. </p>
