This kind of tonal/monochromatic dressing is exactly what I was thinking of when I started the berry wardrobe.<br /> I like the interest that the scarf brings here by adding a different shade of blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226636 Fri, 24 Sep 2021 00:33:18 +0000 The Cat 2226636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, none of these outfits are boring or flat. The gorgeous colour, the various textures plus elements of pattern and shine make it work. In fact, a great example of the importance of using the "colour, pattern, texture and shine" concept. Angie wrote about it here: <a href="https://youlookfab.com/2017/12/11/colour-pattern-texture-and-shine/" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/2017/12.....and-shine/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226612 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 22:16:36 +0000 Minaminu 2226612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt is a beutiful colour on you! I think different materials and textures of cobalt would add a little bit of extra for an already fab outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226604 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 22:00:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2226604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great. I would like to see a more vibrant lip color. The pink shade doesn't quite hold its own with the deep cobalt shade. So maybe bright true red or a clear, bright burgundy? I'm thinking that could bring the punch that you are craving. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226602 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 21:43:44 +0000 Cardiff girl 2226602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t know why you are disappointed.looks great to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226574 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 18:52:55 +0000 Katerina 2226574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim cat, thank you very much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226509 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 15:23:56 +0000 slim cat 2226509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful look!

You are right about the high contrast - it is what I normally use in my outfits. Not used to low contrast outfits on me.</p> <p>Brooklyn, thank you!</p> <p>RobinF, thank you! An addition of some metal would be good here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226472 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 12:15:35 +0000 RobinF 2226472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great but definitely think a metal would bring the contrast you want. Fabulous color on you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226458 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 11:20:07 +0000 Brooklyn 2226458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very elegant. Not boring at all. I like the version with the scarf best, both because it introduces some pattern and because the colour of the scarf ties in nicely with the bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226455 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 11:16:04 +0000 Anonymous 2226455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it- not boring at all! Especially the one with the paisley scarf.<br /> I think it's easier for me to feel natural in a column of color, since my coloring is much lower contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226426 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 08:28:52 +0000 Katerina 2226426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, Helena, Shevia, Bijou, Sal and Rachylou - thank you for looking and for the kind comments and the feedback!</p> <p>Shevia, thanks for the suggestion, I will try another bag. Do not have a clear cobalt, but maybe darker blue would work.</p> <p>Sal, I think you are on to something here with the contrast…. I think I would like some accents here. Metallic is a great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226386 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 04:29:38 +0000 rachylou 2226386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elegant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226376 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 03:01:53 +0000 Sal 2226376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this works very well Katerina - I like it a lot.&nbsp; I am a novice at monochrome so I am watching and learning.</p> <p>I wonder if you are more used to higher contrast and that is why you felt a bit flat?&nbsp; I like the repetition of the blues, but you could add in a pop of another colour or metallic if you wanted to try if differently.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226369 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 02:33:09 +0000 Bijou 2226369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!

Love the color of the blazer in particular and it works both with the sweater and scarf. Honestly needs no tweaking but maybe try a different bag. I feel the tone of this one sort of brings down the brightness of the jacket a tiny bit - but that is just nitpicking. Really this is fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226348 Thu, 23 Sep 2021 01:43:51 +0000 Helena 2226348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super stunner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226313 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 23:02:47 +0000 Jonesy 2226313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, looks great to me! Since I am a sucker for pattern and especially love paisley, my eyes go right to the pics with the paisley scarf, but both iterations are fab. You wear bold color so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226279 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 21:29:06 +0000 Katerina 2226279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you!

Tonal beauty! I LOVE the draped sweater. So early '60s :)</p> <p>And as soon as you put on black boots - you will feel like the outfit met your expectation.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226255 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 20:56:28 +0000 Anonymous 2226255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me! Love that color. You could style the scarf in your hair to extend the cobalt monochrome ensemble </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226243 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 20:42:16 +0000 Tanya 2226243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, lovely beginning to the challenge.&nbsp; &nbsp;I don't think they are boring/flat at all.&nbsp; However, if you feel you need an extra accent, a big shiny necklace in your preferred metal should solve this and preserve the monochrome color scheme.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226229 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 20:22:03 +0000 Mirjana 2226229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those outfits, and don't think they are boring. I like cobalt and royal blue and you look beautiful, especially like no 1, but all are great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours---outfit-1#post-2226221 Wed, 22 Sep 2021 20:09:55 +0000 Katerina 2226221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,<br /> I have just posted about my new challenge - Let's play with colours.<br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-play-with-colours-challenge-anyone">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....nge-anyone</a></p> <p>And here is my first outfit already, non-neutral monochrome.</p> <p>I tried to create a royal blue monochrome outfit with a satin blazer, wool trousers and a larger structured bag.</p> <p>In the first version, I added a knitted sweater tied over my shoulders - hoping for a more casual vibe. The second version is with a large scarf, which is predominantly royal blue as well. The shades of the blue are not exactly the same, but I don't think it matters as the textures of the different items are very different. Oh, and please disregard my black clogs, in the real life version I will wear black boots. I have had all the items several years, but I actually never wore them together like this.</p> <p>I had high expectations for this outfit. In theory, it seemed really clever. But in reality, I must say I am disappointed. I think it became a bit boring, a bit flat...&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think? Maybe I should wear some lighter colour near my face? But then, it would not be monochrome...&nbsp;</p> <p>So, how to do a good monochrome look?&nbsp; </p>
