I esp like 2 (ha! b/c I would wear a jeans outfit) where the scarf and sweater are so visually close in shade but dont "match". Great column of color study </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1157904 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:49:37 +0000 Lisa 1157904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both looks but I prefer #2.&nbsp; I like that the strong color is against a dark backdrop with the cardigan and jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1157863 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 22:01:16 +0000 Vicki 1157863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these outfits and the way your colors blend so beautifully together. &nbsp;Adding the purple hose and hearing about its energizing effect is fabulous. &nbsp;Way to go, Queen Orchid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154599 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:41:32 +0000 Beth Ann 1154599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful color and marvelous styling.&nbsp; What about a belt over the cardi in #2?&nbsp; Just an idea -- I'm not sure it would be "better," perhaps just different.</p> <p>Radiant is right!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154591 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:37:19 +0000 Mochi 1154591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both outfits for their cool&nbsp;streamlined simplicity. The first delights me particularly with that almost imperceptible difference in shading between the purples on top and bottom. The second outfit is doing the same with the scarf against your top. There's just nothing extraneous or fussy about any of the details here, and they're so modern. Plus all the bookending with the boots, sweater and hair--what's not to love? YL, as usual, F.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154589 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 22:29:56 +0000 Lynne 1154589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, Ornella, you look fab!&nbsp; I love Orchid on you, you are glowing!&nbsp; I love that you have colour blocking and a column of colour happening in the first outfit - it's bright but tonal and 'reads' as one column.&nbsp; So good to see you xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154490 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 20:51:16 +0000 Angie 1154490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2.

The scarf looks gorgeous with the top. :)</p> <p>I agree with your response on your other post regarding the helpfulness of morphing; I need to play a bit with some outfits of mine &amp; photograph the changes to see what works best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154418 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 19:39:59 +0000 rachylou 1154418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent execution, Ornella!

It brings extra interest and depth to the outfit in a very subtle way. And now I'm already looking forward to your next "column of colour look":-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154338 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 18:15:25 +0000 Suz 1154338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colour on you, Ornella and I love both outfits. What Joy said re the scarf.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154336 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 18:14:21 +0000 Peri 1154336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, my favorite color! Love the dress look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154326 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 18:00:07 +0000 Anonymous 1154326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, the orchid color is a wonderful shade on you! I like both outfits so much. The scarf color looks intentional and pretty with the top. You could also wear it with #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154321 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 17:36:47 +0000 kkards 1154321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, that's a great color. while i like the column of color outfit, #2 just blows me away. love the high waisted jeans with the high boots. and the color on color is just fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154309 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 17:19:05 +0000 El Cee 1154309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are absolutely stunning! Radiant orchid is a perfect color for you. Purple hose?! How fun!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orchid-y-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154307 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 17:15:13 +0000 Ornella 1154307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Next take on <i><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/01/30/create-a-long-lean-line-with-a-column-of-colour/">column of colour</a></i>. I think I've found a new concept to experiment and&nbsp;have *a lot* of fun with.</p> <ul> <li><b>Outfit 1.</b>&nbsp;The first outfit is basically the same one as <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-take-on-column-of-colour">yesterday's</a></b>: top, skirt, contrasting cardigan. It consists of the turtleneck and abandoned pencil skirt. This is woven woollen pencil skirt, great for the office, but is not suitable for cycling. Yay for the bus rides :-)&nbsp;I wore purple hose and they somewhat address the suggestions from yesterday for greater visual integrity of the outfit as opposed to wearing a high contrast hose. Running errands in all these, so everything is unseen by the outside world, but I like knowing there is so much colour underneath. It feels energising, and that in my book is more than enough. </li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Outfit 2</b>:&nbsp;Morphing (thanks E ) the outfit for the second outfit of the day. No longer column of colour, but colour ON colour, keeping the turtleneck and adding the scarf in similar shade. Does it work for your eyes?</li> </ul>
