I welcome suggestions (could a headband work with glasses?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2106066 Sat, 14 Mar 2020 14:51:56 +0000 Angie 2106066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>La Ped, AJ </b>and<b> Joy</b>, good job! Your casual interpretations are sooooo in line with your style personas. Love seeing that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105946 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 18:56:18 +0000 bella 2105946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was mostly at home on Day 4, and don't really have anything suitable for this painting, so I skipped it. But I might give it a try on Saturday just to complete the whole set.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105918 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 17:11:48 +0000 Anonymous 2105918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am late but using this painting as inspiration Friday (Friday). This was hard as I have very little green and even less lavender and all my red pants are being edited out. The lavender sweater a a fairly new consignment find with cashmere front and silk back. I liked the assymmetrical hem. Red pants are Ann Taylor Loft. Scarf for a touch of green is quite old. Red loafers are Talbots viA consignment. I went for color blocking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105814 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 02:20:34 +0000 AJ 2105814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My only lilac piece is corduroy skinnies and it was too warm for that, so substituted light blue which made me think of this baggy tencel top. Paired with olive linen pants and brown-red sandals. My earrings are more the orange-red in the painting.<br /> I wasn't feeling FAB in this, but that's what came to mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105800 Fri, 13 Mar 2020 00:09:44 +0000 LaPed 2105800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the game (Thursdays are looooong over here), but here's what I wore today. Opted for oxford blue since I have no purple/periwinkle in my wardrobe. </p> <p>Shevia, that cardigan is amazing!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105793 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 22:38:40 +0000 Angie 2105793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOU ARE ALL NAILNG IT!

Want y’all to know and that I’m looking! I’ve switched to daylight shifts 3 days a week and it’s messing with my screen time! Lol. Today is office day, so here’s my go. Shoes are lavender... I love this colour but it’s not my best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105764 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 20:04:26 +0000 Bonnie 2105764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got dressed for a hike in windy, possibly rainy weather today. When I looked down at what I was wearing, greenish hiking hat, purple raincoat, and red pants, I saw I was wearing the colors of the Rothko painting. It's not stylish but it's WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105739 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 18:23:28 +0000 deb 2105739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have nothing in my closet with these colors and I tried playing with pieces I do have trying to capture the feeling of the painting. Nothing worked so I am sitting out today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105736 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 17:27:21 +0000 Diana 2105736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, I have to say, that given my dislike of the painting, I am especially impressed by how much I like so many of your interpretations of it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105735 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 17:25:47 +0000 Diana 2105735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All right. &nbsp;So I have to admit that I don't like this painting and especially do not like the particular combination of colors in it. &nbsp;But I do like a good challenge and am a completionist so I wanted to do all 5 days this week. &nbsp;So here's what I came up with, a tee with lilac flowers and green leaves, and my tomato red jacket. I also added my Olivia Burton watch which also has lilac and green tones. &nbsp;</p> <p>It turns out that the combo of red, lilac, and pale green is much more palatable to me with a good deal of neutrals, especially the white in the tee, to tie everything together! &nbsp;(My lilac and green are less muddy too, which I think helps.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105729 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 16:35:25 +0000 kkards 2105729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! these are fab! i didn't have anything in my closet that i thought was equal to today's challenge, so i'm sitting today out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105714 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 15:52:35 +0000 ChristelJ 2105714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Another day of arty awesomeness from you guys! This is so much fun.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Normally I'm drawn first to the color in artwork, but haven't a thing in my closet that's violet.

Here is mine, not up to yours, but kind of did it in the end, what do you say?<br />No question, I&nbsp; started with the coral denim jacket for the reds. And then... was&nbsp; scratching my head for the rest like some of you, too.&nbsp;<br />No lilacs, no greens in my basic wardrobe, at least this is what I was thinking in my morning rush- so I decided will go with <i><b>greys</b></i>&nbsp;underneath (a tube skirt and a metallic top) instead of <i><b>greens </b></i>... pretending&nbsp; it was a misspelling:-). <br />And, like so many times in life -when you let it go it all cames together- I opened my lingerie drawer and found a lillac bra, oh my- was so relieved- thought I could even win this one!:-))<br />And then, before getting out the door it struck me my outdoor topper is&nbsp; exactly green! <br />Really it was only the&nbsp; cherry on top of all&nbsp; to remember while taking picties of my outfit in the mirror that my nails (even if by chance) are a hollo-metallic kind of&nbsp; lillac&nbsp; this week (couldn't name the color when buying, just loved it- Avon-"Flying").&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105688 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 14:17:48 +0000 Liesbeth 2105688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why thank you Bijou &amp; Bee!<br /> I really like all of these outfits.

I chickened out of the last two days, since Tuesday I had a boss meeting and couldn’t wear what I had in mind, and Wednesday I was stumped by the colors. </p> <p>Liesbeth, you have opened my eyes that it’s possible to be inspired not just by color, but also by the spirit of the work.</p> <p>Bijou - the lilac and red combo is a stunner!</p> <p>Shevia - is the dress Rothko brand? It’s perfect for this challenge.</p> <p>Runcarla - the colors are perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105682 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 13:43:46 +0000 Carla 2105682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No lilac in my closet - will light blue do? &nbsp;It will be warm-ish today, so my red spring coat instead of the red puffer! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105675 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 13:11:52 +0000 Jaime 2105675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought of this sweater as soon as I saw the list. This is more of a mock-up, as is Day 3 which I will post next, because I was stuck at home (plumbing not virus related). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105671 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 12:56:39 +0000 Bijou 2105671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am rather fortunate to have a lilac dress, so today’s challenge was not that much of a challenge for me, I almost felt like I was cheating</p> <p>I wore my lilac dress with turquoise snakeskin pumps and a red bag. It is funny with this dress (which is all about the colour) - whenever I wear it, people compliment the dress.</p> <p>As a topper (worn for part of the day in icy air con) I wore this tweed coat that is lightweight and a new purchase to add some drama into my winter 2020 wardrobe.</p> <p>I will be sad when the challenge is over, it has been fun trying new combinations. The ensemble (mainly bag and shoe with this dress and coat combination) is something I would not have tried but enjoyed the impact of these colours together. </p> <p>Liesbeth - you have been so creative with this - that is a great outfit.</p> <p>Suntiger, why not! Of course it counts.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105669 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 12:47:08 +0000 Anonymous 2105669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does it count if I'm wearing a red sweater, my eyes are hazel, and carry around a purple file folder all day? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105668 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 12:43:04 +0000 Liesbeth 2105668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for bad lighting.<br /> Day 3 was at least as challenging as day 2 for me. I have no lilac nor red in my winter wardrobe – in fact I don’t have much color at all! That’s why I went with color blocking ‘light’, focusing on horizontal lines, and tried to reference Rothko’s typical ‘in between’ spaces by wearing both cognac boots and a small cognac belt. This is the first time I wore these trousers tucked inside boots, because I used to be worried about the bunching. Still, I loved this exact vibe in the Ines De La Fressange x Uniqlo FW lookbook so I went with it – and loved it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---day-4#post-2105663 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 12:37:01 +0000 bella 2105663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's picture is&nbsp;</p> <p>No.6 (Violet, Green and Red), Mark Rothko, dated 1951.&nbsp;<br />I am scratching my head for this one and look forward to seeing your outfits!&nbsp; </p>
