I love olive with ivory or blush. Adding lighter accessories - an ivory bag and shoes, would also add some freshness to the column of olive. This is such a great base for a statement piece to be added. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---all-olive-and-drab#post-1789217 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 03:53:42 +0000 Jaime 1789217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans have a lot of potential.

Maybe a jewellery item would help. Otherwise, I'd wear a black top and maybe black boots with the awesome new jeans.

I think the column of color looks fine. What about a scarf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---all-olive-and-drab#post-1789027 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 14:22:44 +0000 Rambling Ann 1789027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so hard to blend olives and you've done great. It's a great canvas for a special piece of jewelry. Just one thing would punch it up: maybe a bracelet? or a pendant? earrings?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---all-olive-and-drab#post-1789024 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 14:17:35 +0000 Anonymous 1789024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jeans! &nbsp;I'm a big fan of olive green and have a fair bit of it in my wardrobe. With your dark colouring, I would try a clear bright like cobalt or fuchsia with the jeans. Cream is an obvious choice too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---all-olive-and-drab#post-1789012 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 13:52:16 +0000 kkards 1789012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, i'm probably the wrong person to help you, as i love a column of color...i have found that column of color outfits are really helped by mixing different textures to add visual interest.&nbsp;<br />you may want to try a different pair of shoes, you wouldn't have the full column of color, but it would still have the the most of the column effect </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---all-olive-and-drab#post-1789010 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 13:49:00 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1789010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More than two pieces in a single color can be overpowering sometimes. Try a black top instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---all-olive-and-drab#post-1789004 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 13:31:34 +0000 Anonymous 1789004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Help! My new olive jeans arrived in the mail today - I've been stalking them on Ebay to replace a beloved pair that met their demise on vacation in January. I wanted to get a wear in to check them out before taking them to the tailor to be properly hemmed, so I grabbed a favorite olive blouse and thought - column of color - that should look ok, right? </p> <p>Oh, sad - The look is too "drab" I'm afraid. Help me analyze what is wrong? Maybe the column of color requires a livelier color? Maybe it's not for me. I know the standard answer would be to add a scarf, but I don't wear scarves - they flip and flop around and I spill things on them. It was too warm for a sweater or jacket. </p> <p>ETA: Finds</p>
