Burgundy is gorgeous.&nbsp; Ink blue with black would be fab on you, as well as deep teal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week---color#post-1413824 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 18:16:50 +0000 karymk 1413824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like what you are figuring out. &nbsp;It is indeed a process. &nbsp;Maybe keep a little journal? I love you in the burgundy, it's sort of a "non color" color. &nbsp;It really is just another neutral to anchor your clothes.&nbsp;<div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week---color#post-1413755 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 15:53:56 +0000 E 1413755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you've been learning a lot! You look elegant in colour as well as neutrals, so now you just have more choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week---color#post-1413743 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 15:24:11 +0000 Meredith 1413743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these looks are super flattering and the burgundy looks amazing! Hope you'll find a good comfort level of mixing in color when appropriate. Like you said, it can be such a nice pick-me-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week---color#post-1413718 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 13:47:36 +0000 Helena 1413718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thx for the kind comments! That is a great insight around fit - I get so focused on color when in fact I can see that good fit was a big part of what makes an outfit feel good to me. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week---color#post-1413692 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 11:06:26 +0000 Dimity 1413692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, Firecracker, the fit is an important part of the success of these outfits. Lovely looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week---color#post-1413658 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 06:29:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1413658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits are really nice on you. I like the burgundies on you, and I also like the brighter scarf in photo 1. It brightens the overall look. The coat is a beautiful fit, too. I think the fit of your clothing goes a long way toward the elegant look you achieve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week---color#post-1413601 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 02:38:03 +0000 Vickie KY 1413601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the color on you. Starting a style journal is a great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week---color#post-1413329 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 16:07:56 +0000 Helena 1413329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I think I need to start a journal of all these insights so that don't forget! Alasse, thx for the kind words! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week---color#post-1413298 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 15:11:44 +0000 Angie 1413298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief. LOOK AT YOU IN BURGUNDY. Killer colour on you. <b>Wow.&nbsp;</b>I'm really glad you like it too.&nbsp;</p> <p>You DON"T need to wear colour each day. Just when you're sick of neutrals. It's THAT easy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Choose the muted shades of colour and don't create high contrasts in Winter. Listen to your feelings. That's the way to get to the heart of your style.&nbsp;xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week---color#post-1413297 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 15:10:45 +0000 Alassë 1413297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are some great colour/FFBO realizations, TG! Your gray coat is very flattering, and that fleece jacket looks good too. The burgundy in 4 is a nice, rich colour that suits you well. You have a well curated, minimalist style (4-5 are easily identifiable as you).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week---color#post-1413296 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 15:03:07 +0000 Helena 1413296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>n my enthusiasm for my sudden burst of willingness to experiment, I decided to try wearing color this week. It was a fun exercise in which I learned a few things: <ul> <li>The colors I felt best in were 'neutral-esque' - they were subtle and soft, rather than bold or bright. My favorite was the dark burgundy.&nbsp;This may be seasonal, as I do love bright colors combined with white in the summer. Somehow the brightest color I wore this week (the raspberry scarf)&nbsp;seemed too much so against the gray sky.</li> <li>After a few color&nbsp;days, I did revert back to black and gray - I just didn't feel like putting the thought in and it was cold and I just wanted a fleece on (the black and white marled jacket). I think this is me finally getting the FFBO concept - that you don't have the wear it EVERY day, you wear it, *ahem*, when you need a fall back. Duh. I'm getting it, really I am. Slowly but surely.</li> <li>I did love the effect of color on my skin, hair and eyes. As such I think it can be a great pick-me-up if I'm feeling blah.</li> <li>An outfit can be simple AND incorporate a color. Again. Duh.</li> </ul> I managed to lose one outfit photo in the abyss of my Google account ... it was a charcoal blue and black plaid shirt, with skinnies and ankle booties. I've added the shirt to my finds. Comments and feedback welcome! Thx </p>
