Style Lab-O-ratory :: Tiny Tweaks, Great Differences

Ornella

No, you are not seeing double, I promise. This thread is a continuation of yesterday's one where I sported two different colours of the same style of topper, which changed the feel of the outfit and ultimately made me feel better I one of them.

Today I took photos of the same outfits but with different outerwear following the suggestions in your comments.

What do you think today?

p.s.
Yes, the hair issue has been taken care of.

Yay! Works for me. I love both outfits equally. I declare it a draw as far as I'm concerned. Great hair btw!

Today I like the first outfit best with the coral. The white shoes make a bigger difference than I would have imagined.

Both outfits look wonderful on you.

Love the white/coral/blue with the white shoes! Also had to point out that having your hair in its usual bob actually helps that outfit by adding more drama; you get a bigger area of the build-in-high-contrast which really brings the attention back to your face. Did you change the shoes in the second? I rather liked the original pointy patent black pair. Both hair do's work well to my eye with the second

I can't believe what a difference changing your black shoes to white makes! Now I prefer the coral outfit.
Beautiful hair!

Angie :: I too now love the first outfit, with the white shoes. It surprised me how much. It may also be due to the fact day 1, when I felt more inclined to wear black cardigan, was grey and overcast, but day 2 when I experimented with the footwear was sunny and the coral-cardigan outfit matched that perfectly. There are so many layers to how I feel about what I wear.

Aida :: I changed the shoes for the second day's photos.

Day 1 - both times I wore pewter metallic pointy flats.
Day 2 - white flats with the brighter cardigan, black flats with the black cardigan.

I too prefer the white shoes. Lovely.

But I am still not understanding high vs low contrast. I'm not sure that hair color alone defines high vs low contrast. Skin tone and eye color also play a role, don't you think? I'm not sure I'd call your coloring high contrast - to me your coloring looks more medium contrast - your skin is a rosy shade rather than a pale white, your hair has lots of red lowlights. What color are your eyes?

Because of these factors, the coral+blue to me is the slightly more flattering outfit, really brings out the shades in your skin, hair, eyes and lights you up, and complements your medium contrast.

Mind you, there's nothing wrong with outfit #2 - it works too. Perhaps those with medium contrast coloring have more freedom and can rock high, low, and medium contrast outfits?

Or I am totally confused and have no idea what I'm talking about!

Amazing how a tiny tweak can really change up an outfit. I'm slowly learning that the right accessories are as important as the right fit, color, etc for a 'complete look.'
