Most of them are in patterns with warm colors- generally brown, rust.<br /> Having a lot of accessories in one color works for me cause of my standard dressing formula- "full house +1." I will usually wear 1 color 3x, the second 2x, and the third 1x in any given outfit. But I've been moving more to only 2 colors per outfit at times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complement-planning#post-2230246 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 12:00:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2230246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh. Thank you! </p> <p>This is an interesting concept to me. When I decided to pull my berry items together more carefully, I made sure I have enough pieces to dress head to toe in those shades (plural, because I include many types of berry) and that was enough. I don’t think I’d want to dress in all blackberry, all raspberry, all cranberry….</p> <p>Blues (periwinkle, blueberry, cornflower, cobalt, and other), clear greens, and pinks (frost &amp; fuchsia) are my secondary colors. The closest I come to head-to-toe dressing in any of those would be my blue dresses. Once I find my frost pink mock T-neck sweater or body suit, I’ll have the pieces to be pink all over, but that’s not something I ever plan to do. </p> <p>I’ve been noticing the yellow and orange components of my wardrobe lately, and picked up several items at home that have golden yellow in them, so the berry-complement compliment of my wardrobe is coming together. But for all my pieces, but especially orange and yellow, I am much more likely to wear patterns than solid colors. I have a lot of pattern in general, and of course they are hard to classify with any one color. </p> <p>Your approach is different and fun to watch. I know you’d rather not post your face, but do hope we can see more WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complement-planning#post-2230230 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 11:16:37 +0000 Anonymous 2230230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The columns are black and cognac, but I have a very sparse page with chocolate, burgundy, and beige.<br /> The rows are different types of items- so bags (s,m, l), heeled and flat shoes and 1 extra (tall boots, booties, transitional, sandals), accessories (8 rows), coats (warm, medium, light), jacket, sweater, 4 more topper spaces, and 4 "other" .<br /> Not all will or should be filled in for every color. It's just a template to see what I have and what could be helpful.<br /> I handwrite a lot Angie! I almost never use my non work computer anymore, since I'm on my work computer all day. I don't have Excel on my phone and it would probably be a pain to type all that in. My little bujo can go anywhere! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complement-planning#post-2230219 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 07:32:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2230219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your handwriting is not a problem, but my eyes are!

And my need for color contrast means that filling out complements of my main clothing colors with matching accessories should not be a high priority for me (example: in fall I like to wear lots of burgundy, but I want to pair it with amber jewelry -- not garnets).</p> <p>I've realized that I don't need All The Things In All The Colors, so that's progress -- but I'm still figuring out how to codify these insights in a way that will help me plan effective complements. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/complement-planning#post-2229845 Wed, 06 Oct 2021 15:09:48 +0000 Tanya 2229845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing, very useful!

Sorry about my crummy handwriting!<br /> The idea for this is to be sure that my complements cross formality levels and seasons.<br /> #teammatchyftw<br /> My goal for 2022 is to fill in my chocolate and burgundy ones more. </p>
