I apologize for my tardiness! It was far too hot to keep the cardi on, but I'm including those pictures because for some reason the dress looks too green in the third photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1/page/2#post-351592 Tue, 17 May 2011 21:19:55 +0000 Linn 351592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is as close as I could come without the various background colors.

Fab outfits.</p> <p>It's especially interesting how people do it, whether hunting for something literal (like I did) or being inspired by it to go in a different direction. I'm having such fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1/page/2#post-351230 Tue, 17 May 2011 05:40:14 +0000 Lavinia 351230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You ladies are incredible! All outfits are inspired by the same painting but yet all have its own special flair. Wonderful! I think this challenge is a complete success!</p> <p>Jenava, my wardrobe is full of blues, violets, whites - but almost no autumnal colors because they just make me washed out! So this was quite a challenge for me. Finally, I settled on the scarf which was the closest I had to the sombre tone of the painting. </p> <p>I can't wait for the next challenge and hope even more ladies decide to join in! </p> <p>heather: the blue flower pin is self made, while the apricot one I found lying around at home (I guess it's my sister's back from the eighties/early nineties). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1/page/2#post-351197 Tue, 17 May 2011 03:46:37 +0000 Jenava 351197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I love it! I'm surprised more people didn't pick up the oranges, reds, greens and yellows from the background. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1/page/2#post-351156 Tue, 17 May 2011 02:47:20 +0000 Sveta 351156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so much fun to see all of yours interpretations! Am I too late to join in the fun?<br /> I am afraid my interpretation is not very original with denim dress but that was the first thing which came to my mind for this picture. Instead of flowers with earthy background I went for brighter coral scarf - just because I feel like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1/page/2#post-351139 Tue, 17 May 2011 02:19:27 +0000 Angie 351139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! Impressive ladies. I love how different the interpretations were. My own interpretation would probably have been close to Bella's outfit - but *everyone* rocked this painting. </p> <p>FUN!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1/page/2#post-351134 Tue, 17 May 2011 02:13:28 +0000 modgrl 351134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, Fantastic vibe, perfect colors and matching facial expression!<br /> This boy could be a long lost relative </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1/page/2#post-351118 Tue, 17 May 2011 01:57:59 +0000 Jenava 351118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe...MaryK, you're right. It wasn't even intentional (although it totally would have been if I had thought of it!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1/page/2#post-351107 Tue, 17 May 2011 01:43:14 +0000 MsMary 351107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, you really nailed the facial expression! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351105 Tue, 17 May 2011 01:38:06 +0000 Jenava 351105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK! Here's mine! I wore a loose pale orange tee, a pale mushroom/gray suede vest with a cascading front, and a bright forest-green scarf which I draped around my neck. The scarf is sheer with a satin border and applique satin floral pattern. The pattern includes a tiny bit of dark reddish-orange and bright lemon yellow (both colors in the floral background of the picture), but is mostly white and grey. It is from the National Gallery in London and is made after the background of a Medieval painting.</p> <p>I wore long, narrow pale distressed denim and muted olive green suede lace-up heeled booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351101 Tue, 17 May 2011 01:28:35 +0000 celia 351101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm back :)<br /> What wonderful collection of outfits.Interesting how many people went for the denim on denim look.I'm looking forward to see what everyone comes up for klimt tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351081 Tue, 17 May 2011 01:04:06 +0000 modgrl 351081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun thread! I went with the color tones in the original painting. I wore this to an outdoor college graduation ceremony. I was dressed very casually because it was threatening rain and I knew I'd be wearing a rain coat all day. It turned out to be a beautiful day and I ended up wishing that I had dressed up more. I felt comfortable in this combo but I wished that I had dressed better to honor the importance of the occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351080 Tue, 17 May 2011 01:03:25 +0000 Kari 351080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to the thread as I just arrived home from work, but fortunately had time to snap some shots before I left this morning.</p> <p>I was also inspired to create a denim-on-denim ensemble (chambray button down shirt and dressy denim pencil skirt.) Mainly, I was inspired by the touches of soft red and white in the background of the painting, so I tried to bring those colors in with my double strand of pearls, white watch, and burgundy pumps. If I hadn't had a formal meeting I would have wanted to add my brown pleather bomber jacket instead.<br /> At first glance the pumps are pretty basic, but up close have a very pretty curvy/wavy pattern in the leather that kind of reminded me of the texture of the background of the painting.</p> <p>I had a meeting this morning at work so added the black blazer for added professionalism, and rolled up the cuffs so that I could show off my watch. They aren't visible in today's post, but I'm also wearing Oroblu nude microfishnets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351062 Tue, 17 May 2011 00:10:40 +0000 chouette22 351062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, great posts everyone! I am really enjoying this thread (but am not inspired today to participate, feeling sort of down and all). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351052 Mon, 16 May 2011 23:48:16 +0000 CocoLion 351052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The floral background reminded me of this cotton scarf (background in photo 1) and vintage necklace (#1). The leather strap bracelet (#1) kind of matched so I wore that too. Based on the blue the boy is wearing, I wore these J Brand Jeans along with a Rachel Roy jacket (photo #2). The wood of my house bears some of the same colors as the painting as well. I had fun! But struggled with the lighting today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351043 Mon, 16 May 2011 23:30:30 +0000 catgirl 351043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fun to see - I am not organized enough for every day of this, sadly. Aida, you look UNBELIEVABLE in that dress! Heather, you are sublime. All of you look so wonderful. I have to go find the original thread in case I can get myself together to try one outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351037 Mon, 16 May 2011 23:12:35 +0000 rae 351037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are awesome! I have to go throw a frisbee on the beach a little, before we get hit with some pesky rain, but here is my contribution. What a fun challenge this turned out to be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351031 Mon, 16 May 2011 22:54:16 +0000 Aida 351031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE all of your outfits, they are wonderful! It's so cool to see all the different interpretations, and I love that they are all distinctly different yet clearly rooted in the artwork! Very inspiring.</p> <p>Here is my take, much brighter than the muted colors of the painting. Each piece has a description and why I chose to wear it (copying your method, Heather ^^):</p> <p>Dress - A faux-wrap with Grecian-styled draping on top, in a painterly medium-sized print of turquoisey-blue, navy, and white along with small bits of tan, charcoal and olive. It feels abstractly floral to me and echoes the many roses in the painting, as well as the boy's all blue outfit.</p> <p>Belt - Muted red belt with double-layered brass grommets at my waist. This is the boy's rose garland, moved down from head to waist.</p> <p>Cardigan - Bright tomato red cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves and not-quite-cropped length, left open and mainly added for warmth. Picking up on more of the roses' color; had I not needed the cardigan I'd have worn my red purse.</p> <p>Boots - Below-the-knee marled brown slouchy boots (a rich warm brown with cognac tones) with buckle hardware and a wooden wedged heel. These pick up the painting's background warm oranges and browns. Wearing nude microfishnet tights as well.</p> <p>Earrings - Brass stud-stud earrings to echo the metal in the belt grommets. Wanted something small since the subject is a boy.</p> <p>Ring - Flower cocktail ring with two layers of light blue, crystal-like petals edged with gold. I wanted one literal flower element :)</p> <p>Hair - Up in a high, fanned bun since the subject of the painting is a boy.</p> <p>Purse - Creamy white bucket back with studded detailing. Picks up on the few white tones of the roses and helps keep the outfit looking springy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351022 Mon, 16 May 2011 22:14:45 +0000 celia 351022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a hurry an nothing original here. The first thing that came to my mind was denim on denim with a hint of floral.<br /> I'll come back to check on your lovely outfits later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351018 Mon, 16 May 2011 21:52:51 +0000 MsMary 351018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krishnidoux! I think we are orange scarf with green fringe twins! How fun!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351013 Mon, 16 May 2011 21:38:47 +0000 bella 351013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heather - The necklace I am wearing is similar to this:<br /> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ezXNpM95iIo/S6U8iUEgxOI/AAAAAAAAFd4/0ZqSRR3ZO90/s1600-h/IMG_9684.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ezXN.....G_9684.JPG</a><br /> I made these flowers with a different technique but still the same concept. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351011 Mon, 16 May 2011 21:35:47 +0000 bella 351011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, how fun! I love seeing everyone's interpretations. Reading Ornela say " never in a million years would I come up with this had it not been for the challenge. Fun factor for me: 10/10" really made it worth the effort. This is what this is about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-351009 Mon, 16 May 2011 21:33:40 +0000 krishnidoux 351009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope it's not too late to post! Below is my contribution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-350969 Mon, 16 May 2011 20:20:40 +0000 Heather 350969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>'That 70's Painting'</p> <p>I thought I would give the Boy with a Pipe a seventies groove. ;D</p> <p>Blouse: Tucker for Target--The background of the blouse is cranberry and it is covered in flowers about 2 inches in diameter. The flowers are comprised of the colors pink, red, marigold, ivory and olive. It is flowy and buttons down. The elasticized collar is a crew neckline and the sleeves are 3/4 length and elasticized as well. The blouse is tucked into my flare leg denim.</p> <p>Flare leg denim: Flying Tomato--The denim is very soft and thin and a medium to dark wash. The denim trousers sit on my hips and are PPL. There are two side pockets and two flap pockets on the rear that button (not pictured). There is a brown leather belt holding them up.</p> <p>Belt: Abercrombie and Fitch. Brown leather belt that I have had and loved for a very long time. It has a silver oval metal medallion belt buckle that is 3.25"x2.5". It has delicate filigree etching.</p> <p>Necklaces: There are three. One is vintage and is composed of silver rods and balls with olive asymmetrical bits of stone spaced evenly in between the bits of rods and balls. The other two necklaces are from PacSun (random, old school for sure). They are both wooden. One is olive and the other is sage.</p> <p>Heels: American Eagle Outfitters: I am wearing 5 inch brown espadrilles.</p> <p>My hair is in a bun on top of my head. In the last two photographs, I have on a camoflauge jacket. The sleeves are rolled up to my elbows.</p> <p>Missing from my ensemble: the Peace Pipe. ;D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-day-1#post-350968 Mon, 16 May 2011 20:20:01 +0000 RoseandJoan 350968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm playing but unfortunately my picture is not from today, I wore this repeat to duty at playgroup (25 under 5 year olds) so flat shoes and comfort was a priority. This shirt is probably too short for skinnies but it also boxy which I think helps a little with the proportions. Also the fabric looks as though it is pulling at the chest, this is not the case in real life. Thank you so much Bella for resurrecting this challenge. It has been fun. </p>
