This is one of my favorite and most comfortable ways to dress.
This is an example of column dressing.
Wear one dark color from head to toe. Add a sweater or jacket in the correct length for your height.
Add one bold accessory and a colorful bag that does not match your shoes.
Column dressing gives you a long, lean look, and it takes the eye away from the middle.
The sweater is from Chico's last year. The V neck long sleeve tee and the clutch are from T.J.Maxx. The pants are from Ross. The shoes are from Nordstrom. All these items are old, and the colors I used are black, red, and ecru. If black is too draining of a color for you to wear near your face, any dark color will serve the purpose.
