How glorious. You made my day! Now I won't pester you about coming to Seattle.... for a while anyway.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look GREAT in blush and grey. It matches your complexion and hair really well. The dark bottoms anchor the look. Nicely done.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1666168 Tue, 24 May 2016 12:20:08 +0000 Chris987 1666168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skylurker, yes, I HAVE noticed that naming colors is a really important part of the fashion/makeup/interior design world. Even nail polish, especially OPI which I think started the humorous/memorable naming trend. . It really does matter but sometimes it makes me laugh a bit. </p> <p>Your outfit is lovely...and does not say "pale pink" to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1666161 Tue, 24 May 2016 12:04:11 +0000 Anonymous 1666161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skylurker, I absolutely love your outfit. The collarless shirt under your jumper is so much more interesting and unexpected than a collared shirt, which is my own rather boring default. It looks so fresh; I'm inspired (thank you)! The blush colour is gorgeous on you, and I love the style of your jumper. A perfect look for cool, rainy spring days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1666159 Tue, 24 May 2016 11:50:45 +0000 skylurker 1666159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris : interesting, did you notice how good luxe and make-up industries are at finding fancy names for colours, to make them sound sophisticated?</p> <p>UmmLila : sounds great, metallic or white shoes seem to be key here to make the look current.</p> <p>Joy : that's encouraging, I can build a capsule from blush and navy or blush and black.</p> <p>Jaime : wow, slow down my friend, I'm tentatively trying pastel bottoms, not ready for all white outfits yet ok, actually I've tried it with a pair of white Summer pants and white shirt and I felt like a lunatic wearing pyjamas in her asylum.</p> <p>Firecracker : was not sold on blush with grey on paper but tried it this morning with my blush pullover and I quite like it - just taken a pic of my outfit for fun, not sure if you can make out the colours, but here it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1666036 Tue, 24 May 2016 03:16:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1666036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like grays with light pink shades. Charcoal, medium gray, light gray--it all can work, especially the heather grays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1666005 Tue, 24 May 2016 02:10:48 +0000 Jaime 1666005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm too bad about olive. White is the obvious answer, but navy might be more your thing. Do you wear all white outfits? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665983 Tue, 24 May 2016 01:30:58 +0000 Anonymous 1665983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made a blush and navy capsule. I have worn outfits from it a lot and have not grown tired of it.<br /> I fell in love with blush and black one spring in Japan when everyone of any age or gender was wearing that combination. Perfect for early spring cherry blossom time.<br /> I also like a column of blush. A little tan or light taupe also blends right in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665977 Tue, 24 May 2016 01:17:56 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1665977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Olive vest, blush top, white jeans and metallic or white shoes is the plan. Olive is a color I like, but not right next to the face without something else. I don't have blush jeans or trousers at the moment but do have a few tops in blush (I sent away my j crew chinos in that color and am regretting it.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665959 Tue, 24 May 2016 01:01:29 +0000 Angie 1665959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Then my dear Skylurker, it's time you booked your flight to Seattle. I'll roll out the red carpet for you. Sam is waiting..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665879 Mon, 23 May 2016 22:15:09 +0000 Chris987 1665879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these color combination posts.....I can't add anything to this one but love reading it. Funny thing about color names....I tried on some skinny jeans several weeks ago and considered them pale pink which is a color that feels too girly for me....but they were probably called blush which sounds not so girly. Funny how that works </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665873 Mon, 23 May 2016 22:06:46 +0000 skylurker 1665873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As much as I'd love to have lunch with you again Angie I have to be completely honest : you would not enjoy your stay. Cold, rain. You're better off in Seattle (I wish global warming were actually global).</p> <p>Shedev : I don't wear olive, I agree it looks good with pink, though. There's not much variety in my wardrobe, it's mostly made of white and blue shades, probably why a simple addition of blush feels so exotic to me.</p> <p>UmmLila : ok, so now that you've put on your olive vest with blush trousers...what colour will you choose for your shoes ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665864 Mon, 23 May 2016 21:50:51 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1665864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like light grey and white with blush. Also now I'm editing to add olive too because shedev reminded me that I just got a nice olive zip-front vest that's going to look good with blush.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665863 Mon, 23 May 2016 21:48:52 +0000 shedev 1665863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about olive? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665859 Mon, 23 May 2016 21:45:04 +0000 skylurker 1665859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz : if I wear navy, oh yes, I do. I collect navy toppers. How's your search for jeans going ?</p> <p>Rachy : yes, I had forgotten how good Angie's earthy Burberry scarf looked against her blush jacket.</p> <p>Sara L. : maroon is too much colour and you don't wear denim jackets ? We're kindred spirits :)</p> <p>Sterling : ha, I should have remembered what a bunch of enablers this forum is made of before I posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665851 Mon, 23 May 2016 21:37:58 +0000 Angie 1665851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skylurker, to tag onto what Suz and Rachy suggest, ink blue and charcoal grey also look fab with blush. As does toffee and burgundy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665850 Mon, 23 May 2016 21:36:59 +0000 Angie 1665850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*booking a flight to Paris* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665823 Mon, 23 May 2016 20:42:56 +0000 Anonymous 1665823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll let others suggest color combinations. &nbsp; I just want to say blush jeans would be beatufiul.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665811 Mon, 23 May 2016 20:01:24 +0000 Sara L. 1665811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear white, black, black and white patterns (I have several patterned tops), grey, and navy with mine.&nbsp; Very occasionally I'll wear a maroon top with mine, but that's a lot of color for me.&nbsp; I don't wear denim jackets either :). </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665809 Mon, 23 May 2016 19:57:07 +0000 rachylou 1665809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love blush with earthy tones - tans, browns, cognacs. Angie showed this combo a year or two back now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665806 Mon, 23 May 2016 19:53:48 +0000 Suz 1665806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And even if denim is a poison eye, regular navy also works with blush really well. I have a blush leather jacket and navy is pretty much its constant companion. (If you wear navy, that is.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Some chocolate browns could also work, I think?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665781 Mon, 23 May 2016 18:56:41 +0000 skylurker 1665781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie, that's very helpful.<br /> I was focusing on the colour of top/topper but that's easy actually : white, black.<br /> I had forgotten about footwear.<br /> The white/metallics/pink&amp;white florals/toffee choices here are inspiring.</p> <p>You want to shop for a denim jacket, you have to come to Paris first </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665779 Mon, 23 May 2016 18:53:23 +0000 Anonymous 1665779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665763 Mon, 23 May 2016 18:06:50 +0000 Angie 1665763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As for the blush trousers. It's white tops and footwear for the most part. I add in some silver, citron and tomato too. And a denim jacket! Here are the exact items from my closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-for-another-capsule#post-1665761 Mon, 23 May 2016 18:05:20 +0000 skylurker 1665761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha.<br /> White is fine.<br /> I have a reddish brown sweater that could work in Winter - even have the navy peacoat and cognac booties.</p> <p>Xtabay : I'll pretend I didn't hear you taunting me, to keep the friendly spirit of YLF alive, you know. </p>
