I was surprised that the all olive worked out… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-challenge---monochrome-olive-by-accident#post-2228371 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 11:03:22 +0000 kkards 2228371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG the Olive outfit is FAB! WOW.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-challenge---monochrome-olive-by-accident#post-2228368 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:56:43 +0000 Katerina 2228368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Bijou. Olive is not the color I normally would wear top to toes, but I like this outfit. Maybe it’s the textures and a bit of shine that make it more flattering with my colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-challenge---monochrome-olive-by-accident#post-2228356 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 09:12:47 +0000 Bijou 2228356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all gorgeous! #1 had me swooning as I LOVE that jacket. I would not have picked olive as a great colour for you, but my goodness you make it work beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-challenge---monochrome-olive-by-accident#post-2228233 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 17:13:21 +0000 Katerina 2228233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cat2, thank you. I have a yellow top, but it is solid, not patterned. I might try it to see the effect. Maybe another scarf too! Thanks for the idea.</p> <p>Mary Beth, you are really onto something. I do not like the bag here either - now I am getting to understand why…. Thank you for the feedback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-challenge---monochrome-olive-by-accident#post-2228217 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 16:09:20 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2228217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with what Angie said - the olive gloves pulled it all together! </p> <p>In photo 5, the bag is what is pulling the outfit off-kilter for me. It looks washed out against the yellow, and the shoulder style interrupts the flow of that glorious coat.</p> <p>ETA - that first look is off the charts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-challenge---monochrome-olive-by-accident#post-2228187 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 14:20:41 +0000 cat2 2228187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the olive outfit. I agree with you on the yellow fails, do you have a top with some yellow in it? The scarf isn’t quite enough to tie everything together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-challenge---monochrome-olive-by-accident#post-2228168 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 12:56:40 +0000 Aquamarine 2228168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely striking!

You are very good at diagnosing outfits and always find good solutions. Thank you. Another bag would work better. I would also change the glasses and use simpler boots with this scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-challenge---monochrome-olive-by-accident#post-2228110 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 06:33:12 +0000 Kate 2228110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your monochrome olive outfit is mouthwateringly stunning. I would wear that in a hot minute. You look gorgeous. I quite like the saturated yellow coat with it as well. An unexpected combo that works beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-challenge---monochrome-olive-by-accident#post-2228109 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 06:24:11 +0000 Mirjana 2228109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katerina, I am with Angie, I don't have a words to explain how I love these outfits.

My inner sparkle imp has finally emerged and I just love that jacket on you.<br />The yellow coat is gorgeous on you and an amazing shape. I do see that the first scarf gave the outfit more cohesion, but the colorful scarf is by no means a fail. I think a different bag to match a more saturated color in the scarf might make you like it better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-challenge---monochrome-olive-by-accident#post-2228045 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 00:05:09 +0000 CarolS 2228045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AWE-SOME!!!!

It consists of a pair of olive faux leather pants, a sparkly olive blazer worn over an olive blouse and a lighter shade of olive vintage Cartier scarf. Black loafers with opaque knee heights. </p> <p>The monochrome outfit was an unplanned try-on. I was actually trying to put together an olive - bright yellow outfit, which turned out to be a lot harder than I thought…. </p> <p>4-5 A yellow woolen coat (unlined, with removable warm lining), olive faux leather pants and olive blouse, olive and yellow suede booties, yellow and green scarf.</p> <p>6. A failed attempt to make an interesting outfit. An example of how something might seem like a good idea in my head and does not work in reality. Nothing works with anything and it is too much of everything LOL A hot mess. </p>
