I'm always looking for ways to re-mix what I have. I must say, a lot of green and blue in these pics. That will be a challenge for me - I know I don't have to literally copy the color palate but the colors are so great it's hard not to. I have a ton of olive but not much of this paler minty green... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-350513 Sun, 15 May 2011 23:44:58 +0000 CocoLion 350513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will try and participate on at least one day.<br /> Denise </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-350503 Sun, 15 May 2011 23:33:07 +0000 celia 350503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the bump,all the effort and the description so that Michelle can participate.<br /> I'll see what I can come up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-350498 Sun, 15 May 2011 23:26:39 +0000 Ornella 350498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming in to bump the thread and say how excited I am about playing this game. I had to abandon my initial idea for the outfit as I couldn't find one ingredient, but to my surprise instead of half-panic due to possible not-participating, I came up with something I can say with 100% certainty I would never think of without the challenge. Can't wait for tomorrow and everyone's submissions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-350348 Sun, 15 May 2011 18:00:47 +0000 bella 350348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bump! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-350121 Sun, 15 May 2011 04:21:08 +0000 bella 350121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, that's the spirit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349843 Sat, 14 May 2011 19:50:31 +0000 Ornella 349843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such an effort bella, thank you!<br /> No.4 is just screaming for one of my scarves, so I'm seriously rethinking my next week's plans in order to work around it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349805 Sat, 14 May 2011 18:02:40 +0000 Kate 349805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also spent some time on it, and I think I have all but #4 figured out.

I have four that I am really happy about and one I am kind oh "meh" about, which I guess isn't too bad in the scheme of things! I just need to find one little accessory and I will be all set!</p> <p>Can't. Wait. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349758 Sat, 14 May 2011 16:40:19 +0000 rae 349758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I think I missed the other threads on this, but it sounds fun!

What fun!</p> <p>I was uncertain if I could do this, but I'll give it a go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349580 Sat, 14 May 2011 04:22:48 +0000 mumtojessandluke 349580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool challenge :)<br /> I'll have a look in my wardrobe... to see what I come up with. If it is all miss and no hit, I won't post though.</p> <p>Thanks Bella </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349577 Sat, 14 May 2011 04:05:10 +0000 bella 349577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San - it is difficult to see the actual colors of a painting on the electronic copies. I've looked at many online versions and the one in the post seems closer to the actual colors. But of course, feel free to go with whatever you prefer.<br /> Jean Gray - please feel free to join, but don't feel like you should buy new things. The idea is to remix the things in your wardrobe. I would feel very bad if you felt like you had spend money on this.<br /> Also, thank you! I don't work with art but I am an art enthusiast!:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349548 Sat, 14 May 2011 02:48:52 +0000 Jean Gray 349548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, I am considering this challenge too! It would be my first. Should be a good boost to my creative wardrobe thinking! I might use Monday to run around to a couple Goodwills and see what extra pieces I can scrounge up!<br /> I like the description you've given of this first inspirational artwork. Do you work with art as your profession? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349534 Sat, 14 May 2011 02:31:13 +0000 san 349534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There he is.</p> <p>Edit: Oops my copy was X'd out too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349532 Sat, 14 May 2011 02:19:13 +0000 san 349532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun choice for a challenge Bella! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349500 Sat, 14 May 2011 01:15:58 +0000 MsMary 349500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Squee! So excited! Can't wait!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349498 Sat, 14 May 2011 01:13:04 +0000 bella 349498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I am looking forward to your outfits!<br /> Yay, Michelle! I am so glad that you decided to participate.<br /> I just observed some other details: The garland that the boy is wearing is made up of some red flowers (possibly roses) and leaves which look like a brownish green in the painting. The overall mood of the painting is very serene, with warm, soft, autumn colors with the vibrant but still soft blue of the boy's outfit standing out against it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349467 Sat, 14 May 2011 00:27:34 +0000 Heather 349467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant! How fun! Bella, you are so clever. I can't wait to see everyone's take on this challenge. Do participate!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349464 Sat, 14 May 2011 00:25:10 +0000 Jonesy 349464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are beautiful works of art and you have put so much effort into this, Bella! Fabulous job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349463 Sat, 14 May 2011 00:19:47 +0000 Michelle 349463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella, can I just say you're the sweetest person ever for thinking to include me in this? Thank you so much! That much effort on your part deserves some reciprocation -- I'll see what I can do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349437 Fri, 13 May 2011 23:01:57 +0000 Aida 349437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo, can't wait to play with these and see what everyone comes up with Thanks for organizing, Bella! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge-schedule#post-349407 Fri, 13 May 2011 22:23:52 +0000 bella 349407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The votes are in!<br /> So here is the schedule (counting back from the fifth to the first most requested painting): </p> <p>Monday: #6 Picasso, Boy with a Pipe<br /> Description: The painting depicts a Parisian boy holding a pipe in his left hand and wearing a garland or wreath of flowers. He is wearing a blue shirt and a pair of pants in exact color. His cool, white skin stands in contrast to his outfit. He is sitting against a reddish brown background. Behind him, we can see bouquets of flowers in soft, neutral colors such as white, soft yellow, peach, lime, and, olive kelly green.</p> <p>Tuesday: #3 Klimt, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I<br /> ETA:<br /> Description: I am very happy that this painting made the cut, because Klimt is one of my favorite artists. I was very lucky to see some of his work, including The Kiss, in Vienna.<br /> Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I is as the name suggests the portrait of a woman, the wife of a wealthy Viennese industrialist. This is an excellent example of Klimt's gold period, in which he used gold leaf prominently. He was also inspired by mosaics, so the painting looks like a mosaic made up of million little pieces. Adele is depicted in a sitting position. She has very dark brown hair, somewhat droopy, tired eyes and beautiful red lips. We can make out the very white skin of her face, neck and hands, which are gracefully positioned to cover a deformed finger. She is wearing several bracelets (gold and silver) and a huge choker with crystals. Apart from a very soft, baby green below the horizon line, which is depicted with a black and white border, the rest of the painting (i.e, her dress and the background against which she is standing) looks like a huge mosaic made up of gold. Apart from gold, there is very little color (a tiny bit of red and blue here and there); this painting is all about shapes. You can find all sorts of geometic patterns: squares, semi circles, ovals, swirls, triangles, evil eyes, even dots, which look like they've been drawn on gold with various shades of black, dark brown, reddish brown, etc. </p> <p>Wednesday: #7 Picasso, Nude, Green Leaves and Bust<br /> ETA:<br /> Description: Nude features Picasso's mistress and muse Marie-Therese. She is depicted naked in the foreground of the painting in a lying position, her arms behind her head. Her eyes are closed as if she is sleeping. Of course, like all Picasso pictures, this figure and everything else in the painting is highly stylized, almost like a caricature. The figure's skin has a lilac hue and her hair is blond. There is a gray plate with three fruits of different sizes on it, possibly apples. She is laying on a brown background. In the upper part of the picture, there is blue curtain. The curtain is light blue on the left side of the picture and cobalt on the right as if the ligth is coming from the left. In front of the curtain, stands the bust of a man. The bust looks like marble and is standing on a gray pillar. Next to the bust, there is a big, vibrant green plant with enourmous leaves. All the colors in this picture are very vivid.</p> <p>Thursday: #9 Picasso, Dora Maar with Cat<br /> Friday: #10 Van Gogh, Irises</p> <p>Rules:<br /> - The challenge will run between May 16-20 (that's next week!)<br /> - Each day you will wear, photograph and post on the forum an outfit inspired by a famous artwork. You can be inspired by the colors, the mood, or even the name of the painting. Anything about the painting that strikes your fancy and tickles your imagination, really.<br /> - I will start a new thread each day for you to post that day's outfit.<br /> - You can do all 5 days, or just participate for one day. No pressure!<br /> - I will try to describe each painting to the best of my ability so Michelle can play too if she wants. I started with Monday's above. I'd appreciate your help in this, as I am a very visual learner and find it hard to verbalize visual cues. </p> <p>What is the purpose of the challenge?<br /> - The first rule of YLF: Have fun with fashion!<br /> - But also: come up with new combinations, learn to draw inspiration from unorthodox sources, widen our imagination, see how different members interpret the same visual sources differently, etc. and did I say have fun? </p>
