HAHA. So uh... I've seen light blondes do well with mustard yellow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-377470 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:16:59 +0000 sarah 377470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean- you are the queen of color, so I'm glad to know that my instincts were on target. It's a bit sad when we can't wear a color we love! But it's good to figure out... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-377057 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 02:57:58 +0000 greenglove 377057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it all depends- is your hair a cool blond or more gold? If your skin is very pink, it may not work. Mustard is a strong and very warm yellow. </p> <p>Ash blonds with pale pink toned skin can wear lemon yellow really well IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-377014 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 00:12:51 +0000 sarah 377014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Steph, not at all! I was happy to gaze upon Michelle Williams! Reese Witherspoon looks great, too, altho I think that yellow is a bit less mustardy than the cardi.</p> <p>I think I'm hopeless with this skin color stuff! I'm starting to resign myself to just buying all the possible colors and posting : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-376974 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 23:13:27 +0000 Kate 376974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, most people with cool undertones don't like how they look in mustard yellow. There are different shades of pink, so it's hard to say if you're asking about a warm pink or a cool pink. You could post a picture to get feedback!</p> <p>Or you could look at these to get a better idea of if your skin it warm or cool:</p> <p>Cool: <a href="http://fireiceearthandair.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/examplesaer500copyright1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://fireiceearthandair.file.....right1.jpg</a> and <a href="http://fireiceearthandair.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/examplesice500copyright.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://fireiceearthandair.file.....yright.jpg</a></p> <p>Warm: <a href="http://fireiceearthandair.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/examplesfire500copyright.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://fireiceearthandair.file.....yright.jpg</a> and <a href="http://fireiceearthandair.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/examplesearth2500copyright.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://fireiceearthandair.file.....yright.jpg</a></p> <p>You'll notice that there are blonds in all four groups, but they are different shades of blond with different skin tones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-376963 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 22:46:23 +0000 TylerAnne 376963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair is naturally dark blonde and my coloring is warm, and mustard yellow is a good color for me (if I do say so myself!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-376955 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 22:12:14 +0000 Steph 376955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I'm sorry if my post came across as less-than-nice--that wasn't my intention! I think I just feel like a lot of people are led to believe they can't wear certain colors for reasons that are less than legit. But I do understand what you were asking. I really like any excuse to link to Michelle Williams in that Oscar dress, because it was one of my all-time favorites. I thought it was stunning on her. As for a fair, pink-skinned blonde, there is always Reese Witherspoon in this yellow dress: <a href="http://www.fabsugar.com/Golden-Globes-Red-Carpet-Reese-Witherspoon-107977" rel="nofollow">http://www.fabsugar.com/Golden.....oon-107977</a> It's not quite mustard, however. </p> <p>I definitely think you should try the mustard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-376946 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 21:41:55 +0000 sarah 376946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Steph. They are gorgeous! I think I really meant "Can fair-skinned blonds with pinkish complexions wear mustard yellow?", but I couldn't fit that in the header! In fact, I guess I really meant "Can I wear mustard yellow?" ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-376938 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 21:19:26 +0000 MsMary 376938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thanks, Steph! Super nice!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-376937 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 21:16:01 +0000 Steph 376937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can blondes wear mustard yellow? I could give my answer through a link:<br /> <a href="http://www.stylelist.com/2010/01/24/sag-awards-2010-diane-kruger-michelle-williams-mustard-yellow-dress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stylelist.com/2010/.....low-dress/</a></p> <p>But seriously, I really think it depends on the individual's coloring. I generally dislike blanket statements like "no redheads can wear pink" or "blondes can wear mustard yellow" or "all brunettes look good in navy blue" because I think it is too general. It really comes down to skin tone more than anything else, so I think the best way to know is to try. Personally, I think both Michelle Williams and Diane Kruger looked fantastic in those mustard yellow dresses (I don't know if either is actually a natural blonde). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-376880 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:44:03 +0000 sarah 376880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You certainly looking so lovely lately in yellows that are *not* mustardy.</p> <p>Maybe I'll just have to buy the mustard, blue, and plum cardis and do some posting! But I'll probably have to get XS and S to try, too, so my NAS order is starting to really add up! And that doesn't even include the multiple sizes of the Halogen pencil skirt, plus shoes.</p> <p>Ah well - it's the story of my life - order a lot and return most. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-376870 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:10:35 +0000 MsMary 376870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good question! I've avoided all yellows for a long time, but I am crazy mad in love with my light yellow blazer, so who knows what else is possible? </p> <p>I think one of us is going to have to try on that cardi and report back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-maryk-lynne-or-anyone-else-can-blonds-wear-mustard-yellow#post-376868 Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:08:37 +0000 sarah 376868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After MaryK pointed out the merino cardis in the NAS selection, I got to wondering.</p> <p> I love the mustard ('raisin') yellow cardi, but can someone with my fair, rosy coloring pull off that color on top? My coloring is similar to Mary's and Lynne's, so I thought I'd shout out to them with this question.</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
