Also, sometimes our eyes deceive us -- it may have looked better than you think!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/column-of-color-2#post-1338744 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 20:32:23 +0000 columbine(erin) 1338744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/01/30/create-a-long-lean-line-with-a-column-of-colour/">http://youlookfab.com/2014/01/.....of-colour/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/column-of-color-2#post-1338706 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 19:28:56 +0000 columbine(erin) 1338706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to tell without a picture. Maybe the proportions were off, i.e., maybe the&nbsp;sweater was too long, or maybe the dress hem wasn't at the optimal height, or maybe the footwear contrasted too much.&nbsp;I find it easier to do say, a navy column of color, with trousers and top&nbsp;rather than a dress. (An a-line ankle length skirt can give the column effect too, but I really don't see people wearing those lately).&nbsp;If the dress stops at the knee then I think sometimes you lose the column effect. Hopefully someone else chimes in with more helpful information.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/column-of-color-2#post-1338641 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 17:08:09 +0000 misapb 1338641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like clarification on the 'column of color' strategy for apple shapes. &nbsp;I totally see how the slimming effect&nbsp;works for lighter/brighter 'columns' under a darker jacket or sweater, but what about the reverse? &nbsp;Yesterday I wore a dark teal dress with a lighter grey sweater and it looked fine, but didn't quite have the slimming effect I was hoping for. &nbsp;Thoughts? </p>
