You look incredibly beautiful in it. To my eye the skirt provides the structure and then the draped cardigan provides the "unstructured" arty component. It is a lovely silhouette on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1154024 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 09:15:49 +0000 Ornella 1154024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Julie, Tracey, Pam, Laura, deb, Una, Joy, Diana </b>and<b> Greyscale</b>.</p> <p><b>Sona</b> :: a new word for my vocabulary - <i>red-spiration</i>.

The red is a knockout color on you (and I always appreciate that because it's one of the colors that is least suited for my hair and skin).

I sort of agree with Bella about your tights, but I also adore them like you do&nbsp;and I think they add a playful, fun element.The arty dress over skirt is sublime and your outfits using the same scarf&nbsp; and sweater&nbsp;show easy versatility.&nbsp;You certainly look fab in red!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1153563 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:11:05 +0000 E 1153563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You were made for a column of true red. Love it with and without outerwear! And the tights are just perfect; they add a touch of individuality and fun.</p> <p>4 is really neat because of how you changed registers by just swapping out one piece and rearranging your scarf. I love seeing how outfits morph throughout a day. Thanks for taking the time to photograph both!</p> <p>The avant garde wrapping in 3 is marvelous too. I just love Ornella posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1153380 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 17:48:17 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1153380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the jeans outfit - there's something about the layering that is really interesting to my eye.

This is&nbsp; the best thing about Angie and YLF isn't it: you don't have to spend a lot of money necessarily buying new things when you can make your current wardrobe work for you- just in unexpected ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1153346 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 17:27:45 +0000 Ornella 1153346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>lyn67, MuseumGal, Elizabeth, Ceit, carambola </b>and<b> Sara</b>.</p> <p><b>ramya</b> :: every collection starts with one piece Give yourself time and only pounce for the right things.</p> <p><b>Suz</b> :: LOL those were what my thoughts were as I was putting this outfit together, shortly after reading the forum thread.

Really love #1 -- just spectacular. Simple, pure, and yes - playful! I also love the puffer coat version.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the sweater works beautifully as your asymmetrical layer in #3. So much fun! I also like the other outfits. You have found your formula, distilled to the essence -- and it works.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-take-on-column-of-colour#post-1153147 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:52:14 +0000 ramya 1153147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HEHE I&nbsp; love column of red. It's surprising that I love red but have only 1 piece of red sweater in my wardrobe.<br />I love the asymertical sweater too. I wonder if the Avant grade dress idea works only with asymmetrical hemlines. </p>
