So sorry about the beige coatigan that got away, but a good lesson learned, it sounds like. It's somehow soothing to see all of the beiges and light neutrals on this thread--I think I need some calm, relaxing colors in my life at the moment :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323152 Tue, 16 May 2023 15:18:24 +0000 Laurie 2323152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a fresh and chic look, and so simple. 2 colors.

Hmm, your post made me think of of some griege I might have, maybe I will wear today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323079 Tue, 16 May 2023 01:58:15 +0000 Brooklyn 2323079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have quite a lot of it. Most of mine leans warm, more into a tan, almond or gold. (I don’t count camel as beige, but I like that too.) It’s a good summer neutral for me. But I also really like it with black. It’s not as crisp/more muted than white with black, which I like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323075 Tue, 16 May 2023 01:16:00 +0000 Bijou 2323075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In addition to the finds below, I have a beige cashmere coat that I have stored for the last 10 years (not in Finds as it predates my time on YLF) - probably time to bring it out again... I wear both warm and cool beige.</p> <p>My faux fur is my house cardigan in winter. I popped into Target to buy a cheap cardigan to wear at home and found this instead! Some of my items are deeper toned than true beige, but I think of them as being part of the beige tonal family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323071 Tue, 16 May 2023 00:57:41 +0000 Carla 2323071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beige is a perfect ‘bookend’ with my current (natural) hair colour, and I’m hoping to grow my collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323064 Mon, 15 May 2023 23:17:36 +0000 LJP 2323064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trying not to laugh at the editing melt -down .

Beige is lovely on you! Sorry about the coatigan, but good for you for learning the lesson...It can take a while for our various fashion lessons to sink in. I'm sure many of us have been there in one way or another. Either we're over-buyers, over-editors, under-editors, under-buyers....or we fall prey tp a pretty colour or pattern every time, or we neglect to buy for the real life...and on it goes. </p> <p>There is nothing in my closet that is beige or beige adjacent. Nothing.&nbsp;</p> <p>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323053 Mon, 15 May 2023 22:54:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2323053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>You look great in that beige pullover and cream pants. Nice beige collection! And it's so sad the coatigan got away. <br /></div><div>As I commented on Angie's post, my best beige is like stone or cement. It may be more like a light gray, to be honest. I wear taupe, too, which I don't think qualifies as being in the beige family. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323044 Mon, 15 May 2023 22:21:03 +0000 Style Fan 2323044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have some beautiful beige pieces, Helena.&nbsp; I have edited pieces and then regretted it.&nbsp; I had a two pieces olive green dress that I donated when I retired.&nbsp; I wish I hadn't.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't wear a lot of beige, but I have a few pieces.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323040 Mon, 15 May 2023 22:02:50 +0000 Anonymous 2323040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe the coatigan, or a similar one, will return to you!<br /> These are my true beige pieces- generally I lump in camel and tan though too into the "lighter than skintone" bucket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323027 Mon, 15 May 2023 21:10:29 +0000 Dee 2323027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, every now and again, we can make those editing errors, always a little annoying when that happens.<br />I don’t actually have much in the way of beige/taupe/ cream in my wardrobe. &nbsp;I rarely wear it (not my best colour) &nbsp;and really only in the summer but I did &nbsp;buy a new crossbody bag to go with my older sandals, and new pair of breezy cotton shorts for those super hot days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323017 Mon, 15 May 2023 20:03:34 +0000 Helena 2323017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Sal I bet you look fab in the faux fur!</p> <p>Bluejay, I really don't adjust my makeup ... my everyday makeup includes blush and a rosy or pinky lippie, as well as filling in brows, and this seems to be make it work ... I suppose I *might* go for the brighter on my lippies, but that's a matter of a shade or two tbh My go-to when I feel a little dull is Clinique Super Strawberry.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323015 Mon, 15 May 2023 19:41:55 +0000 Sal 2323015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely beige pieces! </p> <p>I guess these two pieces could be called beige but I think of them more as camel or cream? I haven’t worn the faux fur in a while - it wasn’t very cold last winter and it’s definitely a mood piece! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323009 Mon, 15 May 2023 19:23:36 +0000 BlueJay 2323009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beige does suit you Helena! Lots of really great items in your Finds. When you wear beige do you do anything different with your makeup than usual? I don't wear beige, but with lighter colors I can't go bare-faced. I have to do my brows, blush and lip colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323005 Mon, 15 May 2023 18:41:36 +0000 Minaminu 2323005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very wise words! I like your beige-ish collection, lots of classics and versatile pieces.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been adding some too and they have quickly become workhorses, hope to add some more. A beige coat would be amazing!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323003 Mon, 15 May 2023 18:34:39 +0000 Angie 2323003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Proud of you, <b>Helena</b> :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2323001 Mon, 15 May 2023 18:33:48 +0000 Helena 2323001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahah Angie I think I learned my lesson for real this time! I really did love that coatigan *sigh sigh sigh* and haven't had an edit meltdown since </p> <p>Bonnie, beige is a lovely neutral for you as you wear lights so well!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2322999 Mon, 15 May 2023 18:31:45 +0000 Angie 2322999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in beige, <b>Helena</b>! I is gorgeous on you WITH cream or white. To my eye, beige is very different to white, cream, bone, ivory, and off-white :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Hoping for NO MORE EDITING MELT DOWNS!!!&nbsp;</p> <p></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2322998 Mon, 15 May 2023 18:29:53 +0000 Bonnie 2322998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have some really nice beige items, I'll take the scarf, boots, and bag. Too bad about that great coatigan. I have a few beigish items, three are new this year.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-and-beige-ish-items-ive-loved-and-lost#post-2322997 Mon, 15 May 2023 18:21:36 +0000 Helena 2322997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, just a quick post relating to Angie's blog post today - looking at my beige-ish capsule (similar to what Lisa had commented, I tend to lump beige, cream and lighter taupes into one bucket and use them relatively interchangeably - so I know these are not all true beige).</p> <p>The coatigan in the bottom left is the one that got away ... I stupidly sold it because I was in one of my uber-edit meltdowns lol ... and have regretted it ever since! A hard lesson for me but this did finally make it sink in - if it's classic and neutral and in good shape and modern DO NOT EDIT!!! *sigh*</p> <p>What are your favourite beige pieces if you wear it?</p> <p> </p>
