I started the thing, but am having a hard time with it. I’m genuinely looking forward to people’s comments and suggestions once I put together a few good ones to post. </p> <p>I think the key is to vary the tones. So all-yellow might mean Big Bird pants but a paler, softer yellow on top, and a cardi or scarf with orange or chartreuse. I’m learning that my wardrobe doesn’t have much depth that way (except for berry colors) I have a very certain blue, a very certain purple, always the same red, etc. That makes it hard not to look like the Grimace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169948 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 09:46:47 +0000 Synne 2169948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI, I had these same thoughts when I first tried tonal looks So afraid to look try-hard, or like a charachter in Star Trek-uniform. I still refuse to wear all yellow in fear of resembling Big Bird from Sesame Street, lol! Now I love wearing tonal looks, and find them very chic. Even all yellow (on others!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169945 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 09:36:51 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2169945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Joy! I’m doing greens today too, was actually thinking an olive or sage would work well with the rest, but I don’t have those colors. I’m curious how many people at the end of the week will say hohoho, FI looks like the Green Giant. At least I’m not wearing a dress as short as his. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169940 Thu, 04 Feb 2021 08:42:07 +0000 Synne 2169940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, you are rocking this! Your photos deserve their own posts too. I almost missed them. I see a new vibe to your style with these outfits. Almost rock chic, bohemian/natural. I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169909 Wed, 03 Feb 2021 22:26:39 +0000 Anonymous 2169909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tonal matching challenge outfit today is olive greens.

The jacket in the second one is great, but really, both of them are great examples of how things can come together to make a total look that’s “more” than the individual parts. </p> <p>I’m shaking my head at myself for calling this challenge this week, with super-early morning trips to the foreigners’ office. You are giving me energy to keep going! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169675 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 21:49:11 +0000 rachylou 2169675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, these earth tones are giving your black and white a run for the money (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169603 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 16:17:55 +0000 Anonymous 2169603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Added today’s tonal rust to my post about 5 posts up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169580 Tue, 02 Feb 2021 13:52:21 +0000 RobinF 2169580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun idea, I love tonals!

The jeans and sweater are on their last season, I think. Born yellow loafers are thrifted scarf is a. Old Echo scarf from the 80’s. Small bag is newest item from TJ Max maybe at least a year ago along with a mustard leather tote (not shown).<br /> I don’t seem to have the right scarf. Any suggestions? I am looking forward to seeing what others are doing.<br /> ETA: Tuesday’s tonal rust. Pants are EF. Old Nygaard leopard top with rust in the pattern, last year’s Philosophy cardigan, booties are old Naturalizer, bag from consignment last year, scarf is a gift from DS1 bought on a Cambodian river bank. Rust colored pearl jewelry is made by me. What do you think? I tried to vary the texture a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169341 Mon, 01 Feb 2021 17:11:51 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2169341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A real pro entering the fray!

Green will be tough for me—so far the only way I can think to do it will have people noticing and thinking “oh, she meant to wear all green”. As far as I can tell, when the motive for your outfit jumps out like that at people who aren’t even thinking about fashion, it’s a fail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169246 Mon, 01 Feb 2021 05:17:51 +0000 rachylou 2169246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love tonal outfits, but now that I ponder... I wonder like LaPed how well I can do this still... hmm, a challenge indeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169192 Sun, 31 Jan 2021 23:43:02 +0000 LaPed 2169192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I wonder if this is something I can even do with my wardrobe. Neutrals only, I think: olive/sage, black/grey, navy/light blue. I have been planning to do a big review of all my blues, since I haven't been reaching for them. I think blue is a summer colour for me but I want to test that hypothesis.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169123 Sun, 31 Jan 2021 20:13:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2169123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Synne, I’m so sorry to hear you’re hurt—please take care of yourself this week! </p> <p>Joy, if I can help you sort your closet, even better! </p> <p>Suntiger, I’m so glad to live in a place with good public transit.

Most of my colored pants are gone and I had planned to rely on neutrals with colored tops. The colored jeans that I still have may not work out. That will be part of the challenge for me. Can I even wear it or will it go in the donate bag? This could turn into a closet edit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tonal-matching-challenge#post-2169082 Sun, 31 Jan 2021 18:10:14 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2169082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of tonal matching, but rarely actually do it. I’ve built up the berries/pink part of my closet enough that it often happens on its own, but that’s it. I’m planning to fix that this week, with a different color focus every day. I’ll post all the outfits at the end. Anyone care to join me? </p>
