I've checked them all, and they are each very special and of course thank your for your kind words to me.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can I come and hug you all? <br /><br />Ornella: I always have a yellow bag for a few yers on, now:-). In fact&nbsp;I've been &nbsp;looking for a yellow bag to replace my very old one, and finally purchase this (even if it's a vegan bag) because I couldn't find one leather bag that suited me in yellow:-)&nbsp;<br /><br />OMG Suz, I certainly &nbsp;didn't want to make you cry-so sorry for that!!!:-((<br />Life happens to all of us, the good and the bad, too.<br />BTW your taupe dress(and all outfit)&nbsp;is beautifull!!!<br /><br />Ingunn: it's not only about vanity, or&nbsp;missing&nbsp;some social life like&nbsp;in case of &nbsp;your MIL(perhaps she is&nbsp;retired already).&nbsp; In my case I &nbsp;needed to stay active in my career, so had no other&nbsp;choice at all -the work had to be done:-)- but found it a&nbsp;real challenge to&nbsp;switch to-&nbsp; and live with-&nbsp;HA's, indeed.<br /><br />It took me some time to be able to speak about my flaws with optimism, but here I am now-and You: Fabbers- are all my friends, no?:-)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905775 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 05:03:42 +0000 CocoLion 905775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are so fun! &nbsp;I especially appreciate the playful spirit that Ornella and Caro have brought to the game. &nbsp;<br /><br />I feel bad that I have not been participating much (after casting votes).&nbsp;&nbsp;I've been working like a&nbsp;dog (more accurate=&nbsp;human*); it's been hard to get out of uniform.<br /><br />(*my dogs <b>never</b> work!) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905757 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 04:35:01 +0000 Aida 905757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fab looks ladies! Mostly monochrome, but still quite a good variety especially in silhouette. This was one of my favorites to look through.<br /><br />Here's my outfit. This is a simple poster with big impact, and what really jumps out at me are the monochrome palette, strong vertical lines, and the shaded gradient.

From what I saw early this morning, everyone looks fab! To quote MaryK, "Big Fun!"<br /><br />I really wanted to do something a lot more urban, but it was a work day so I needed to be a Dressy Bessie.&nbsp;I picked up on the monochromatic aspects of the poster and added some art deco touches. The sweater top has a geometric pattern to it with buttons that run down the back. I thought my necklace had a bit of an art deco vibe to it, as did the frames of&nbsp;my glasses. I also wore my new favorites - nude microfishnet hose.<br /><br />Skirt, JCP; lightweight sweater, F21; necklace - crushed class&nbsp;and beads https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905397 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 20:21:56 +0000 rachylou 905397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes. So quite the challenge! I can't really remember the movie, altho I <i>have</i> watched it start to finish. I just have impressions of it, which maybe comes from watching clips. In high school I had a greeny-gold, drop-waist dress that would have done the trick... but that is several years and lbs in the past.<br /><br />My first thought was the robot. But the <i>Metropolis</i> robot was the inspiration for <i>Star Wars'</i> C3P0 and I felt movie confusion. I also thought about other movies inspired by <i>Metropolis</i>, like <i>Blade Runner</i> and <i>Gattaca</i>. But both too modern to fly. Then I thought about this dress I have that has an art deco pattern "sort of." I.e., thought I might try for the quick and superficial nod. But the design of it and its patterned material were way too modern. It had zero art deco vibe.<br /><br />I had to email my brother, film maker and my comrade in pseudo-intellectualism (which may be either deeply ironic or an oxymoron). So after some discussion about what the movie was really all about (the haves and the have nots), and some whinging about why I don't have a pair overalls and how perfect that would have been, and some suggestions re. show girl headwear and hula hoops that can't be worn to work... I went with the have/have not theme: Denim coloured sack dress, kinda drop waisted, lace-up shoes.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905381 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 20:07:40 +0000 rachylou 905381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Amazing work, ladies! And it is work, works of art! <br /><br />This one was really a mind bender to translate into an outfit, was it not? I was still formulating approaches as I went through the thread, even tho I'm dressed and at work...<br /><br />INGUNN, RUNCARLA - Approach via colour! Specifically the grey of the "concrete inferno."<br />JJ, ASTRID, BELLA - Approach via colour! Specifically the stylized sepia and black of the movie poster.<br />LYN - Approach via mood! Really amazing spot-on effect, Lyn, with pieces so different from the heavy stylization of the movie. Amazing use of colour to convey drabness. Like a tinted old-time picture.<br />SARAH A - Approach via mood! Specifically the roiling boil of anger.<br />JOY, SHEDEV - Approach by persistent philosophy! Your outfits arevery punkish, and that's like the child of <i>Metropolis' </i>Expressionism. And Joy, the shirt with Seattle on it... approach via atmosphere!<br />SUZ, AJ, SONA - Approach via atmosphere and architecture! Related to mood, but I feel there's a difference. Yes, your outfits really do evoke the setting to me, reflect the architecture... well, y'all know how I am about matching myself to the surrounding architecture...<br />DAYVIES - Approach via artifact! The Chanel-esque jacket, well, Chanel <i>is</i> the '20s. And thinking back to recent collections, it's only dialed-up the chimney-sweep industrialism.<br />ORNELLA - Approach via geometry! It was your bracelet that really did it for me. The pyramids make the connection for me to Art Deco, through Egypt and geometry. The sepia tint, btw, was inspired.<br />NATALIE - Approach via geometry! And artifact! I have those shoes! The flapper dress is fantastic. You actually have headdress! <br />DIANA, MARYK - Approach via colour and geometry! This is so outstanding I can't stand it. This is like yesterday, a special magic. Modern silhouette and pattern, but seamless with the past in colour and geometry... So, like, y'all belong to the same secret society, do you?<br />FIRECRACKER - Approach via pattern! Which is different from geometry. Pure spirit!<br />SHEVIA, JAYNE - Approach via robot! I was going to go with this but ran into a mental roadblock...<br />JULIEJOHN - Approach via character! You would fit right into the movie.<br />DEB - Approach via the hula hoops! Sheer genius translating this. Absolute sheer genius.<br /><br />...And CARO - You seriously just rock!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905360 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 19:35:52 +0000 deb 905360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have never seen this movie but I&nbsp;went through the photos and&nbsp;the color, or lack of, caught my attention. The pics did seem rather somber and I just could not do somber today so this is what I came up with. Gray and white, with a dash of shiny shoe. The pattern in the sweater does look sort of art deco-ish.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905348 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 19:15:43 +0000 bella 905348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi all,&nbsp;<br />Here is my outfit today. The jacket is brown and has very thin black stripes, which reminded me of the poster.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905334 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 19:02:03 +0000 Ornella 905334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie :: über-funny and quirky!</p> <p>Natalie :: the sequin tank top looks terrible and I can rescue it from you any time thankyouverymuch.</p> <p>Diana :: I love everything about this! You simply rock.</p> <p>Mary :: This is the closest visual feel to that of the poster. Superb job.</p> <p>AJ :: You have everything going one here: clean lines, symmetry, darkness, metal. Absolute delight to see.</p> <p>Astrid :: "<i>I would have never thought to wear my pieces in this combination</i>". You've nailed it, the look and the whole idea behind PPC.</p> <p>Shedev :: Fantastic jeans for the challenge and I prefer the second top, although both work to my eye.<br /></p> <p>Sona :: I love all graphic&nbsp;references&nbsp;in your outfit. Stellar.<br /></p> <p>Firecracker :: well, this must be the true Art Deco gem of the challenge. What a beautiful dress. I am very glad you were inspired to revisit some old favourites. You look amazing.<br /></p> <p>Jayne :: Sci Fi delight. And what gorgeous necklace too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905297 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:33:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 905297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jayne: what a gorgeous metallic shirt. The backdrop is too sunny for the dark feel of the poster, though. <br />Sona: I like your geometric interpretation; the outfit looks great on you.<br />Juliejohn: love your quirky, inventive take. You look good in that hat!<br />Suz: I'm in awe. This look is just stunning on you. Love the tonal simplicity and all the sumptuous textures.<br />Day Vies: Chanel-esque and pinstripes work well for the challenge and look fab on you!<br />Joy: Love your leather. Those pants are so flattering, and the jacket is so chic, edgy, and classic all at once (how can that be?).<br />Sarah: Such a cool tee. That look is the epitome of casual chic.<br />jjsloane: Your metallics rock, and you look so at ease in them. <br />Runcarla: This may be my favorite outfit on you yet. So streamlined, like the skyscraper.<br />Shevia: Your poses are so fun. After yesterday, I can't get your resemblance to Audrey H out of my head, though. This outfit looks great on you.<br />Ornella: too fun! You rock this challenge even better than yesterday's. Didn't think that was possible.<br />lyn67: I so enjoyed ready your post. Your super-cool tonal outfit looks terrific on you, and I love the splash of sunshine provided by the bag.<br />Caro: you are a one spunky, cool-looking scientist. That look is great on you.<br />Ingunn: Wow, neutrals are such a different look for you, but you wear them well!<br />Shedev: what a fab jacket, and those striped pants--great look!<br />Astrid: you look so cool and casual and yet polished. Fantastic urban casual look.<br />AJ: even the studs on your jacket add to the "Metropolis" feel. I like this look on you.<br />MaryK: You have brightened up Metropolis, and yet your outfit does echo the vibe. This look is amazing on you.<br />Diana: Great outfit! Love the mustard pants with that tunic/dress.<br />Natalie GP: love, love that dress and pumps combo, with the Fossil bag. And the flapper dress is so fun. I thought of doing black and white, too!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905291 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:27:43 +0000 jayne 905291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ingunn&nbsp;and Lyn, you are both&nbsp;gritty but still elegant!<br /><br />oh Caro! &nbsp;Great mad scientist! &nbsp;Love!<br /><br />Onella - you are quite the entertainer! &nbsp;I am loving all the poses<br /><br />Shevia...ROFL due to your expression in pic 2! &nbsp;har har<br /><br />Carla, &nbsp;AJ, adn Shedev!&nbsp;- way to.BE&nbsp;the building!<br /><br />JSSloane and Sarah - gritty casual! &nbsp;JSSloane, That didn't look like something you would normally have put together, huh? same for you Sarah, not something you seemed comfy in`?<br /><br />Joy - great gritty dark outfit and the tshirt just tops it all!<br /><br />Van Dies and Astrid - another unigue interpretation....the feel of the geometry does come through with these outfits<br /><br />Suz! and &nbsp;MaryK! &nbsp;another twist! &nbsp;I agree those are the colors I felt from the poster....muddy! and you each found your own mud color!<br /><br />JulieJohn - ah, a movie goer!<br /><br />GP:loving the way you picked the circular lights, that was so cool! &nbsp;I did the same as you and looked up pictures from the movie to get an idea.<br /><br />Astrid - looks like you found a new outfit to wear again!<br /><br />Firecracker - what a lovely outfit.....I love the art deco of that top!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905278 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:13:18 +0000 jayne 905278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ well, I read up on the movie and decided to go with another of my FFBO since metailic (ie robotic) is one of my favorites. &nbsp;I am posting a picture from last spring. <br /><br />I actually wore it with black boots that have a motocycle feel and it worked very well. I would have used my silver oxfords but they are currently at dear BF house.<br /><br />I felt fab and futuristic all day!<br /><br />Now to check out the pictures from the rest of you all. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905273 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:05:50 +0000 L'Abeille 905273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Funny how so many of you saw brown in that picture! From my perspective (earth tones don't live here) I saw black with accents of gold or maybe beige, so that was where I began.<br /><br />First thought, my gold glitter shell/vest, was in the wash, and besides wearing those colours next to my face is tricky. So here's the backup:<br /><br />Beige box-pleated skirt, for the colour and the verticals. Black turtleneck and black blazer, for the art deco severity; hair up again, for the same reason. I added my black-and-beige spotted pattern scarf, worn under the blazer lapels, to produce the silhouette vibe that I get from the vertical lines on the skyscrapers. I would have preferred no pattern or extra colours, but also needed a single rounded/shiny element like the robot head for contrast. I wore it with black knee-high boots (not my riding boots, but the for-me heeled, pointy and fitted) to clinic this morning, but it's such a sunny day I've switched to black stack-heeled loafers with a black metallic buckle, also fitting I think. Will try to post pics of it both ways once I get home.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905246 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 17:36:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 905246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was inspired by the colors of the poster and the art deco style. It made me think of this sleeveless dress, with a 1920s-feeling print in bronze and lavender on black. <br />The lettering reminded me of my hammered silver and brass forward-facing concentric-hoop earrings. The mechanistic feel of the image inspired me to wear metallic shoes and zippered leggings.<br /><br />Here are the pieces:<br />pleated-neck, sack-style knit shift dress (made by me)<br />scoop neck long-sleeved tee (Caslon)<br />black elbow-sleeve open-front cardigan (Michael Michael Kors)<br />black leggings with zipper detail at back (Nordstrom)<br />metallic flats (AGL)<br />mixed metal necklace and earrings (Marjorie Baer)<br /><br />I considered other options for today's challenge, but I wanted to wear this dress, because it's a rather neglected item in my closet. I also haven't worn this sweater in a couple of years, after wearing it to death for the first two years of its life with me.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905213 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:59:19 +0000 JulieJohn 905213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ohh, Natalie! Be still my heart. I really like your flapper dress, how elegant and pretty you look in that, complete with accessories of perfection. But I think it's your first outfit that really sets my heart a-flutter. So dapper, and with a subtle boldness that says, "look out world, here I come." Great inspiration leads to great results where you are concerned.<br /><br />Diana, I love that look on you, very creative and arty.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4/page/2#post-905199 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:45:28 +0000 Sona 905199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ here is mine:<br /><br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/architectural-leanings?replies=1#post-905197" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ost-905197</a> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4#post-905185 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:30:35 +0000 shedev 905185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This one was hard for me too. I have little brown or art deco&nbsp;in my wardrobe. I started with the pants because the vertical stripes remind me of the skyscrapers. The black and brown color scheme made me think steampunk so&nbsp;I added the lock and key earrings and brown studded&nbsp;leather. I tried two different shirts but&nbsp;wasnt really happy with either.<br />jeans- Tripp<br />jacket- Guess<br />shirt- Celebrity Pink<br />boots- Mix #6&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4#post-905170 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:20:50 +0000 Astrid 905170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You all look totally awesome! Love the outfits.<br /><br />I had a hard time coming up with my own outfit. Somehow there just wasn't anything I immediately thought of when I looked at the picture. I had to play around quite a bit to find this outfit and I would have never thought to wear my pieces in this combination, but I really like it! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4#post-905152 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:02:36 +0000 AJ 905152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A friend&nbsp;gave us this movie with a bunch of others that he no longer wanted, but I have yet to watch it.&nbsp; I'm intrigued that it is a silent movie.&nbsp; Must plan a movie night this weekend.<br /><br />I didn't have a column of brown/beige/bronze, so I did a column of black then added my dusty colored knit moto over it.&nbsp; The bronze studs on the collar mimic the skyscrapers in the poster.&nbsp;I don't have a close up of my "industrial earrings," but it&nbsp;has bronze&nbsp;dangling bits&nbsp;with a small pearl.&nbsp; SE black petty booties and gold watch to finish the look.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4#post-905119 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:37:08 +0000 MsMary 905119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are all amazing!&nbsp; The poster looks yellow to me, so I used the color for my inspiration, and was tickled that the ombre pattern on the blouse echos the dark-to-light top-to-bottom look of the poster!&nbsp; The shiny silver bag and the round pendant are my homages to the robot!&nbsp; More <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-411-picture-perfect-day-4----metropolis-in-black-white-and-yellow?replies=1#post-905117" rel="nofollow">here</a>. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4#post-905113 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:32:33 +0000 Diana 905113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This was the hardest one for me this week but I am pleased with how it turned out.&nbsp; I love Art Deco style but it's not very well-represented in my wardrobe.&nbsp; (I do own things with sharp, geometric patterns but they all also appear to be drapey.)&nbsp; Also, much of my urban stuff is steampunk urban, which is not really the same thing as modern urban at all.<br /><br />I went with the black/grey/gold color scheme and tried to incorporate some of the sharp lines and urban touches.&nbsp; My mustard pants are the perfect dirty gold color from the poster.&nbsp; My top (which is actually a dress hiked up and layered over a tee) has the sharp, straight lines from the poster.&nbsp; I added my sharp, structured black blazer for some harder, urban edge.&nbsp; My boots have a patent shine as a nod to the sci-fi theme but their asphalt grey color is perfect for conveying the mood of the gritty, urban, dark city.&nbsp; Finally, my silver bag (which also made an appearance for Star Wars) has more sharp, straight lines and sci-fi sheen.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4#post-905112 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:30:03 +0000 goldenpig 905112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This was the toughest one since I haven't seen the movie (I ordered it on Netflix but it hasn't arrived yet), but I did research on the movie online. It looks like a fascinating film and DH and I are planning to watch it together (he loves sci fi).<br /><br />1-7. This first outfit was inspired by the buildings and diagonal lines on the movie poster and the city lights. The dress has diagonal ombre lines and so do the purse and shoes, and they are all in black/grey/taupe which fits with the color scheme and urban feel. I went with a Art Deco style bracelet to reflect the time period, and chain necklace (since the workers are symbolically chained down by their work).<br />Classiques Entier ombre dress<br />Missoni for Target pumps<br />Fossil vintage striped satchel<br />Nordstrom Art Deco bracelet<br />Banana Republic chain necklace<br /><br />8-11. Since it's a black and white film, I thought I'd have fun with my pics in black and white too. This sequin top reminds me of the rings surrounding the robot and the stiff tank is like the robot's hard shell. <br />White House Black Market geometric sequin tank<br />Anne Fontaine black blouse<br />Gap Real Skinny pants<br />Stuart Weitzman black ballet flats<br />Michael Kors black studded satchel<br /><br />12-17. I couldn't resist throwing in my flapper dress from the recent <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-323-sassy-snakeskin-sneakers-and-skirt-plus-fabulous-flapper-frock-with-feather-and-faux-bob" rel="nofollow">20's party</a> I attended. This reminds me of the heavily beaded and somewhat risque outfits that the socialites and dancer wore in the film, plus it's consistent with the time period, since the film came out in the 1920's. The beaded dress is sheer so I wore a slip underneath, but maybe if I was in the film I wouldn't! <br />Beaded flapper dress and slip<br />Clarks black Mary Jane pumps<br />Nina beaded clutch<br />Black gloves, feathered headband, and long bronze pearl necklace<br /><br />I didn't think I would be able to do this movie well (since I don't have any metallic corset tops or anything, LOL), but I'm actually really happy with the way these outfits came out! Everyone's outfits are so inspiring as well! (And Caro, you make the perfect Rotwang!)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4#post-905094 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:10:09 +0000 JulieJohn 905094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Joy, I have really been enjoying ALL of your outfits this week, but I think this one tops my happiness list! You really own that look, it feels so natural on you, and I love the tower on your shirt. BAM! You nailed it.<br /><br />Suz, you look really good, sincere and beautiful. The jacket with lightly-scrunched sleeves is what makes the outfit for me, and echoes the lines of the poster while it also feels earthy and worker-ish.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4#post-905087 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:04:16 +0000 JulieJohn 905087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Caro, Rotwang never looked so good!<br /><br />Lyn67 - very interesting post, and I really like your outfit. I was prepared for something really soul-sucking by your description, but those neutral shades are lovely on you. I'm glad your hearing aids help to transcend the slience, thank you for sharing your feelings on them.<br /><br />Ornella - GREAT outfit and poses! You made me chuckle and I really like your patterned hose with booties.<br /><br />Shevia - you lightened us all up with your lovely outfit and your great robot pose. Love the somber face!<br /><br />Here's mine, and it was hard for me because I wanted to be more urban, more chic, more futuristic, but alas, my wardrobe is sadly lacking in those departments at this time. Definitely something to think about when I get a bigger shopping budget. So instead I channeled my inner 1920's vibe, the vibe of androgyny and anything goes, rules were made to be broken!<br /><br />You can read my whole novel/post here: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---1920s-germany-meets-socal-suburbia" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....l-suburbia</a>.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4#post-905078 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:57:00 +0000 Ornella 905078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeanne :: I find layering shortsleeeved tops very refreshing. I hope you enjoyed DS's school play.</p> <p>Sarah :: perfect as it is. The pattern of the top has enough character in it to easily pass as "hard". Love the hat.</p> <p>Joy :: round of applause everyone! Studded belt is great, but tee with Seattle skyline must be *the* detail that just takes the cake.</p> <p>Day Vies :: Beautiful. And how great the straps on the top are!</p> <p>Suz :: I am literally in taupe heaven. I could eat you, you look so delicious! I hope this outfit has already or will leave the house, because the rest of the world must see it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-4#post-905063 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:43:56 +0000 Suz 905063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My inspiration came from the colours, the lines, the urban and Art Deco atmosphere of the poster and the film.&nbsp;<br /><br />Taupe leather jacket (Danier)<br />Portobello skirt (Cleo)<br />Silk top (Cassis -- gift from Celia)<br />Snakeskin/ leather belt (consignment)<br />Booties (DV)&nbsp;<br />Tights (Hue)<br />Long silver earrings (meant to echo skyscrapers -- gift from daughter)<br />Art Deco ring (mother in law)&nbsp;
