Once I put a lovely pair of red strappy sandals with a black and white skirt/top combo. I felt perfect. Then a coworker said, "Jody, you need a red bracelet with that."</p> <p>More lately, I got a pair of amethyst-colored earrings that I put with a chartreuse shirt. I felt fab but I'm not sure others thought so! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-explain-bookending#post-1024518 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:52:06 +0000 MsMary 1024518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a topic we've discussed at some length, and there are some great discussions in the archives: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/search-results-forum/?cx=partner-pub-4935877050966590%3A6085503928&amp;cof=FORID%3A11&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=bookending&amp;sa=%EE%80%92&amp;siteurl=youlookfab.com%2Fwelookfab%2Ftopic%2Fplease-explain-bookending&amp;ref=youlookfab.com%2Fwelookfab%2F&amp;ss=1450j329726j10" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/search-r.....of=FORID%3</a></p> <p>My short answer is that bookending is a useful concept in putting together an outfit, but it isn't a hard and fast rule.&nbsp; I think it would probably be nice to have a little bit of red in the top half of your black/gray outfit with the red shoes, but again, it's not mandatory.&nbsp; You could use a pop of a different color on top or just let the shoes stand on their own!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-explain-bookending#post-1024513 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:46:16 +0000 Trishalee 1024513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not quite sure I get it. I love hats. How do they work in? The only red in my wardrobe is a pair of garnet red shoes that I attempt to use to add color to drab ensembles (grey/black dress with black hose). Do I need to bookend the red shoes for cohesion? I have a beautiful pair of jade statement earrings that I purchased in Hong Kong. Sometimes I use them to spice up a black sweater and trousers. How do those work into Bookending? </p> <p>Thanks. Summer totally got away from me and I am attempting to put together some basic yet stylish fall capsules. </p>
