Using the 4 Style Pillars to Help You Shop Better

- Let's use our 4 style pillars (lines, shapes, color, and details/finishings) to vet a purchase. We will be using my pillars as an example and taking you through why one dress failed the test and why I ended up buying my first Bright Spring piece!
And we can even do your pillars as examples in the future to help you buy with more intention!

You can tell how much the warm red brings your skin to life ~ what a glow!
Yeah lovely red dress.
Thanks!
Yes, more examples using style pillars, please! I must add that it was truly surprising when you said you are a Bright Spring, but seeing you in the right color made all the difference from seeing some of your other outfits from previous videos.
Thank you! I’m going to try and do more 👍🏻
Yay! This was a great example. Would love to hear later how you felt wearing it out and about and different ways to style a piece to bring it "back" to your style statement.
Yes I haven’t had an official outing in it, that was just my try on. But I can definitely do this 👍🏻
You really do look so good in the bright spring color palette. I’ve started learning about color seasons about 1 year or so ago. And you really do shine in the BS colors you’re using now!
Also, I have watched a ton of your videos and really enjoyed this one as well. I’d love to see more of this type of thing.
Maybe even having you analyze an another person as well in this way as they consider buying a new piece and pulling in their body type, personal style, etc.
The color looks great on you! I wasn't sure you were a bright spring until you showed yourself in the dress. Perfect. Yes, these videos are fantastic. :)
Thank you! Glad you liked the format
Please do more of this. This is so helpful.😊
More to come!
Now makes sense why you always looked so great in an Icy mint shiny top you use in old videos, it was more like a BW but since is a sister palette was close. Love how you look in your BSp palette, you shine! Your skin looks like glass.
You are beautiful anyway ✨
Thank you! Yes, I think I was so sure I wasn't a spring, that I kept circling around brights but never really hit the mark. I'm truly happy with the new palette! It'll be a fun exploration and pivot
I hear you. I'm in the same dilemma if I am Bw or BSP after all. I think sadly the representation we have of Bw and Bsp always looks super high contrast and even dark so it can confuse us and make us feel imposters if we don't look like that but see the bright colors working in drapes. I see lots of BW and BSp are often said they look like summers. I find that interesting.
You look like a summer gal (not so high contrast) but is obvious how good you look in bright even if leans a bit cool, but is still bright.
I hope you enjoy your new palette!
Thank you, Gabrielle. This was really helpful for me because you used visual examples. It made it really clear.
I'm so glad!
Ahh the satisfaction of actually seeing it on you was a great addition! I’m new to the 4 pillars concept but I think it’s going to be really helpful seeing multiple examples! Thank you for taking us along that journey
Yes it was just my quick try on but I thought it was a good style win to share 🤗 the 4 pillars is my own development, so I plan to show more examples soon 👍🏻
You look so good in the new dress😍🥲
Thanks! I’m excited for it to be my summer dress
Loving your post-Bright Spring content. I think you looked beautiful in the Deep Summer colors but the contrast really highlights the harmony of the Bright Spring palette with your features because even with very minimal makeup they make you look like you could be readily photographed at the Met Gala! This dress is really lovely on you and its versatility for styling options seems like it's a great choice.
Thank you- I love that compliment, made my day 🤗
This is so helpful to avoid over shopping! I tend to get super excited would love if you used your subscribers pictures! I would totally donate mine. Especially as a dark skin woman
Will try to do more 👍🏻 not sure how user photos could work but definitely willing to work on ppls individual parameters if they want to submit them
Ooh! My parameters are: soft natural, bright spring (I think), usually like more medium weight things with my soft natural lines, and style statements I would say comfy with a pop. I’m a doctor who works in a clinic. I like pretty simple not fussy lines but with little pops of excitement like a funky earring,hair scarf, or fun glasses
Thank you so much Gaby 😊
You're so welcome!
The dress is so beautiful! 😍 Yes more of this would be very helpful
Yay! Thank you!
This was so helpful! And that dress is amazing on you!
Thank you!
Yes! Please do more of these. Seeing the process in action is super helpful. Learning about the weight of lines alone was a huge takeaway for me today.
That's exciting to hear! I will try to do more ☺️
I love the dress you chose, it’s clear how it fits your pillars and it looks amazing. I would love to see more of these. Do you want people to send you their pillars to use as examples?
Would love that! And even a piece or outfit you want to try or a style aesthetic 👍🏻
Thank you for such a great video! I've been confused about the differences between lines and shapes , so this is a great explanation! Also... Your new bright spring dress is so beautiful! 🤩
I’m glad this helped clarify things!! And thank you
I would love to see the shapes with plus-size examples
Definitely! I can work on this
This is soooo helpful! I also had an "aha!" moment when you talked about the weight of the line. You are simply stunning in this new dress, and I love how your content is developing!!
As you are collecting some parameters, I'd like your help. I'm experimenting with the style statement "a bit relaxed dramatic classic". I'm going to the U.S. this year to do my PhD (very excited!) and I like the smart casual vibe, not being that constricted. I think that dramatic classic is my Kibbe type and bright winter my color pallete. Maybe you could consider my example to style a buttom down shirt in a solid color with an interesting black jeans (appropriate to commuting by bike) and interesting flats.
Best regards for you and your Brazilian father!
Thank you so much! I'm excited people are enjoying the new direction of content. And thank you so much for sharing your parameters, I'll try to include them in a future video!
Love this!! Loved the previous summer dress also - a bit cool but still lovely on you
Yes, I still love that dress. I just plan to slowly pivot my wardrobe with the new style input (BS colors).
Yes so many more examples!!! (Also secretly rejoicing that you’re bright spring because now I know I’ll understand the colors so much better)
Love the colour on you! I knew the dress shape too will be amazing as well. Great example!
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous on you! Love the thought process for new purchases.
Thank you!
Wow! You look great in that dress. I want to learn more
Thanks! I’ll try to do more examples of this with other pillars 👍🏻
Hi! I don’t know if this will help you at all but when I got color analysis I washed my clothes that were close to the right color with my undertone color (you could do blue or yellow) and it changes the tone of the garment to fit your color palette better! If you have anything you love that you can add yellow to (like that house of can dress) it would probably work really well!!
Yes I do plan to do some dying! But I wanted to buy one new piece to mark the shift 🤗 but that’s a great tip thank you
Hi, can you share more about how to do this? I'm a cool tone & I'd be worried I'd ruin my clothes!
I had a bit of an “ah HA” moment there when you were talking about weight and how the design and construction can accentuate that. I have a few summer dresses that suit me well but they kinda annoy me and I’ve never been able to pinpoint exactly why. They have a lot of fabric in the skirt and are very long which is great. But the skirt is very gathered at the waist and while it does create a lot of vertical lines down the skirt portion, it’s too soft. I realized while watching this that I do like pleats and gathers, but when they are bolder, stronger, more defined, and fewer of them. A few boxier pleats vs hundreds of tiny gathers would make the dresses PERFECT for me. I can still make them work, but I know now what to look for to avoid that disappointment when the garment isn’t as good as it could be for me. It has me thinking if it would be worth it to try altering one of them ….. 🤔
The red of that dress is bang on for you. It doesn’t look startling like a bright colour does when it’s the wrong one. It looks totally harmonious and natural. The style suits you so well, too. ❤
This is a great observation and can help you so much when you're reviewing your own wardrobe and/or shopping for a new piece. If you're thinking about altering a garment, it might be wise to also use your other pillars to make sure 1. it's a possible alteration 2. make sure it's worth the time and money to adjust it. And thank you!
Really helpful, as always❤ and you look even more gorgeous in the bright spring colors!
Thank you! I’m happy to slowly start integrating them 🤗
Great analysis!! Appreciate it!!
I had a bit of hesitation with color of the first dress.
Seems to have some blue undertone and too cool for spring type. No?
I haven’t seen it in person but if you look at the actual color code it’s warm
Thanks! This was very helpful! Beautiful dress! Enjoy! 💃
You are so welcome!
You looked AMAZING!!!!
Thank you!!
Even though your old red dress wasn't in a bright spring color, it still looks really good on you based on all your pillars. IMHO both of the new dresses (the pink and the red) seemed too bright on you. I thought the old red dress harmonized with your skin tone better.
It’s a good dress for sure! But I’m slowly pivoting my wardrobe and I wanted a go-to piece for summer in my colors. The old dress will find a new home 👍🏻
On that note…did it already find a home?? 😂 Because if not, I may be interested in chatting with you to ask about its size and your asking price! 😄
I love the dress for you yea four pillars!😊
Thank you 🤗
I loved this style of video ❤ more of those always please 🥳
I’ll try to do more 🤗
Really helpful!
🤗
Also did you get your color analysis done in nyc?? I would love to go!
No I actually did sci art color analysis training in Canada (and doing my colors was part of that)👍🏻 but once I get my practice hours in I’ll be offering in person color services in nyc and Seattle
@@Gabriellearrudadesign thats incredible!! Thank you for being willing to share what you’ve learned with us! And definitely keep us posted on the in person services 🙏🏾 #signmeup
@@KaleaLeverette thank you! I will 🤗🤗
