And, oh my, that Halston dress. I almost fainted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-purple-red-angies-request#post-2240559 Thu, 25 Nov 2021 03:40:45 +0000 Jaime 2240559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya you do all these colors and mixes so beautifully! I was really impressed with the coat in #10 and how nicely the lighter lilac plays with the deeper colors. Also the color mix in #1 and #5. But these are all smashing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-purple-red-angies-request#post-2240543 Thu, 25 Nov 2021 00:39:16 +0000 Tanya 2240543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much!&nbsp; It was a very fun color combo to play with,</p> <p>Angie, thank you so much for the nudge and inspiration.&nbsp; &nbsp;I am glad you are pleased with the result.&nbsp; Sneakers were worn for longer urban walks - feet comfort is important.&nbsp; &nbsp;Regarding hats, I love berets but I am lukewarm on beanies - I dislike most of them on myself, as they do not look good with my head shape.&nbsp; The only type I can get away with is the one I am wearing here, which is with extra slouchy material, and pom-pom on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-purple-red-angies-request#post-2240504 Wed, 24 Nov 2021 18:44:25 +0000 cat2 2240504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the burgundy and deep purple combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-purple-red-angies-request#post-2240500 Wed, 24 Nov 2021 18:31:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2240500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love color combos that are all smushed together on one side of the color wheel like these! Can’t even pic a favorite here, just think it all looks like a great week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-purple-red-angies-request#post-2240499 Wed, 24 Nov 2021 18:28:49 +0000 Suz 2240499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I never cease to be amazed at the riches in your closet! You could probably pull together almost any combination. Okay, maybe the earth toned outfits would be tricky, but with your taupe items you could do even those <b>your </b>way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I can't believe you have PURPLE BOOTS!!&nbsp; Prince would be proud.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like them all, but the lilac tweed coat is really gorgeous! Great sale purchase. The first outfit is also really great. I can see how that coat would be a workhorse. I have the same coat in the lilac and love it, though I wear it less often that I used to due to all the rain in this climate!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-purple-red-angies-request#post-2240485 Wed, 24 Nov 2021 17:21:33 +0000 Star (Lise) 2240485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits.&nbsp; I particularly love the bright red with eggplant in #1.&nbsp; I must experiment more with this color combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-purple-red-angies-request#post-2240459 Wed, 24 Nov 2021 16:28:45 +0000 Jonesy 2240459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are beautiful! And you wear these colors so well! Like Angie, I really love that dress on you, but everything looks lovely. Your outerwear is fab-u-lous! Your new lilac topcoat is really cool, and I love your old burgundy cloth coat in the last pic--I have a few coats that are old and don't get much wear, but I still hang onto for sentimental reasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-purple-red-angies-request#post-2240457 Wed, 24 Nov 2021 16:21:43 +0000 MsMaven 2240457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love red and purple together.

Love seeing you remix old with new too.</p> <p>My faves are: #4, 5, 6, 7, 8! Absolutely KILLER.</p> <p>The dress in #7 = KILLER to the POWER of KILLER.

I so love the deep purple and red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx6-purple-red-angies-request#post-2240420 Wed, 24 Nov 2021 14:27:42 +0000 Tanya 2240420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Several weeks ago, when wrapping up Katerina's Color Challenge, Angie asked me to do some outfits with red &amp; purple.&nbsp; She clarified that both "real" red or burgundy would be fine.&nbsp; I took this week off and am running tons of errands, so it is a perfect week to do so.</p> <p>I have worn six such outfits, three with "real" red and three with burgundy.&nbsp; &nbsp;Occasionally some neutral accessories were added. I discovered that my favorite way to combine two noticeable colors is a column of one color plus topper/coat in the other.&nbsp; &nbsp;Some shades/hues don't match perfectly, but that worked fine in my book. The outfits:</p> <p>1) (#1-2) This is the only outfit that does not use a column of color.&nbsp; The combo is eggplant + bright red.&nbsp; There is lots of eggplant: cropped kick flare velvet pants, wool coat, booties, and some red: turtleneck, bag and beret.<br />2) (#3-4) The most unusual color combo: lilac and bright red.&nbsp; Most of it is lilac: cashmere turtleneck, cropped pants, Converse, beret and bag, and it was topped with a bright red coat.<br />3) (#5-6) More purple and red: purple dress and coat, red knit topper, hat and scarf.&nbsp; Added taupe accessories: tall boots and bag.&nbsp; The tall taupe leather boots that fit my calves were a HEWI and I finally found them last year.<br />4) (#7-8) Burgundy and eggplant: eggplant dress, booties and beret; burgundy puffer, scarf and bag.&nbsp;<br />5) (#9-10) Lilac tweed coat over tons of burgundy: turtleneck, coated jeans, Converse, scarf, hat and bag.<br />6) (#11-12) The inverse of the previous outfit: burgundy coat (and bag) over light purple.&nbsp; The outfit is lavender: twinset an wide leg wool flannel pants, while the scarf and hat are lilac, but since both are pretty light, I think the mismatch wasn't that bad ( I do not own lavender scarf and hat).&nbsp; Added silver booties, to pick up the trim on the twinset.</p> <p>Outerwear challenge:<br />1) Eggplant coat (#2 &amp; #6) - from last year's pandemic sales, and already a workhorse, it goes with a lot.<br />2) Red coat (#4) - older, and not too warm, so doesn't get much wear.&nbsp; Trying to wear it more.<br />3) Burgundy puffer (#8) -also older, gets good amount of wear, perfectly happy with it, especially for a very inexpensive piece.<br />4) Lilac tweed coat&nbsp; (#10) - another pandemic 2020 sales find.&nbsp; Like the texture, too early to say how versatile it will be.<br />5) Burgundy coat (#12) - super old, but in beautiful condition.&nbsp; Love the retro shape and I think I will keep it for as long as it fits me.&nbsp; Got tons of wear the first couple of years, and after that, I think it gets worn about dozen or so times every fall/winter season. </p>
