I'll have to remember this.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-white-white-and-white---how-to-mix#post-888120 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 16:33:17 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 888120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is all wonderful feedback!&nbsp; I did go have a look at my whites, and realized that what I have is mostly red (pink)-based, with a couple of yellow (ivory)-based pieces, and one blue-based white blouse (a vintage Anne Fontaine that I LOVE, thank you Angie, for pointing me in that direction).&nbsp; &nbsp; So now I do have somewhere to go with this! &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />Thank you thank you thank you everyone!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-white-white-and-white---how-to-mix#post-888053 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:25:37 +0000 Angie 888053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it might be a question of getting used to the look ON YOU. <br /><br />I'd start off my matching shades of white with taupe or dove grey in one outfit. That should dip your toes into the look before you dive head first :)<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-white-white-and-white---how-to-mix#post-887887 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 13:16:10 +0000 Anonymous 887887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I expect Angie will chime in later; but I would guess that maybe you have to look at the underlying tone of the white; does it seem warm or cool /&nbsp;I would imagine a cool grey-toned white would look dirty perhaps with a warm toned one. I could be wrong but thats my take on it. I have yet to mix whites together myself&nbsp;but will definitely be trying it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-white-white-and-white---how-to-mix#post-887878 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 13:11:36 +0000 Anonymous 887878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Try putting them on a pure white background so you can see the undertone. Some will be "yellow", some "blue", and some "red". I find if you put the same undertones together it works out ok.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-white-white-and-white---how-to-mix#post-887873 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 13:08:21 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 887873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the white trend!&nbsp;&nbsp; but I notice when I look at white pieces together in my closet, some of the pieces look dingy or just-not-right against other pieces.&nbsp; &nbsp; I realize if I put the same exact shades of white together, I'll look like a nurse, or like I'm coming with a straitjacket for someone....<br /><br />but do you have any suggestions in how to identify complementary shades of white?&nbsp; &nbsp; When I look at your Pinterest board, I love those looks, but I can't seem to manage to put those complementary hues together.<br />
