I think your blog is lovely, and although I am not always in agreement with advice you write there, It works for you and your readership. I know YLF is an open community and I, for one, enjoy your diverging thoughts on fashion. It should be noted that YLF is also the personal blog of our dear Angie, whom is a seasoned fashion professional. Out of respect for that, I have always taken the approach that it is not my role here to ever take upon writing how to's, or providing general styling guidelines. That is Angie's role in my mind, as this is her blog. Your tone sometimes comes across as general fashion advice, that's where i'm coming from. Just my humble fifty cents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-get-a-sleeker-body-line-use-monochromatic-colors#post-867738 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 13:12:39 +0000 Anonymous 867738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My definition of dressing monochromatically is dressing either all one color head to toe, dressing with shades of the same color, or dressing with colors that are the same intensity level... though I guess using colors that are the same intensity but not the same color is just low contrast dressing and not monochromatic. Hope this makes sense. The more I type, the more confused I get, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-get-a-sleeker-body-line-use-monochromatic-colors#post-866754 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:13:24 +0000 Mochi 866754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see where people are interpreting differently. You apparently mean ALL one color on top. ALL one color in the lower half. But I too interpret "monochromatic" as meaning full-body color that is in the same family. Anyway, you do look sleek and sophisticated. (Just went back and read all the comments, so I see I'm being repetitive with mine.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-get-a-sleeker-body-line-use-monochromatic-colors#post-866721 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 13:30:55 +0000 Anonymous 866721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if it's actually sleeker or not, but I have always liked to dress monochromatically. I think it looks more sophisticated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-get-a-sleeker-body-line-use-monochromatic-colors#post-866568 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 04:09:44 +0000 Deborah 866568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I use this trick with one colour/tone only top and bottom to create a sleek look. I think maybe what you are meaning is that you use solids top and bottom which is IMO more streamlined at times than patterns, however my understanding of monochromatic is the same colour/tone throughout, like Angie's "Column of Colour" concept. Pretty outfit though and you do look lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-get-a-sleeker-body-line-use-monochromatic-colors#post-866562 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 04:04:05 +0000 Susie 866562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm confused....did you mean to link to a different picture? I see 2 colors rather than 1 or even similar tones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-get-a-sleeker-body-line-use-monochromatic-colors#post-866484 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 02:11:19 +0000 rosee 866484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we have a different definition of monochromatic; to me, it means one tone (and similiar variations) head to toe. I see pink and black here, so 2 tones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-get-a-sleeker-body-line-use-monochromatic-colors#post-866367 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 00:18:23 +0000 Lauren 866367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a little trick I have always used to look sleeker and make getting dressed that much more simple: using monochromatic colors to appear longer and leaner. Also wearing a high waisted skirt and a few other tricks help in lengthening the body: <a href="http://bit.ly/YNCJ28" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/YNCJ28</a></p> <p>Do you guys think this has a "sleek" affect? Do you use this tip? </p>
