I am studying Shiny's combinations for color and style. My coloring is very similar to yours...right down to having a redhead sister. Plus, you just nail every outfit you put together.

I have actually already bought the cowlneck top (and a cardigan) and posted photos on this thread: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-br-cardigan-and-cowlneck-top?replies=14" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....replies=14</a> Which sweater dress are you eying? Kyle on "BR wish list" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-wish-list#post-18103 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 01:04:13 +0000 Kyle 18103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tanya: I can see you in that cowl neck. That was made for you. I also picked the same cowl neck, the purple necklace, and the sweater dress, which I don't think I can pull off. Haven't ordered any of it though.

Unfortunately I'll have to pass right now, I have other things to get that are higher on my priority list, but will certainly keep an eye on it. I am hoping to catch it for around 50% off .

BR is having 30% off all jewelry until the 31st. In store, not sure about on-line Angie on "BR wish list" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-wish-list#post-16421 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 01:00:43 +0000 Angie 16421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I hear you Shiny. You wear ALL those colours well. Brights too! I’d have said you’re strawberry blonde, but I can’t say for sure because we can’t see your face. Quite right, Patience. Belted and out with jeans would be my guess. You’d have to experiment.

Might be on my BR wish list, too!

Question: BR always shows a lot of tops tucked in to pants. How best to wear these tops with jeans? Belted? shiny on "BR wish list" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-wish-list#post-16335 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:55:16 +0000 shiny 16335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The fuschia cardi? It's actually a softer shade of pink - not really a bright. I looked far and wide for that one! I cannot do a bright pink or hot pink. The turquoise BR cardi I wear is definetly more of a bright; I like it and I'm having fun with it this summer, but I don't think it's my *best* shade. Maybe it's hard to tell since I always put a white box on my pics! For example my DD14 wears the brights much better than I do - but she has scandanavian blonde (near-white) hair and blue, blue eyes. My eyes are hazel - but with more green than blue, and my natural shade of hair color (if I stopped highlighting it) is actually more of a reddish dark/dirty blonde. I was much blonder as a child - more like how it looks when I dye it - but not as blonde as my DD. According to my hairdressers, I am NOT an ash blonde (that shade washes me out horribly) and also not quite a golden blonde (that shade just looks jarring and wrong). I'm what they call a "neutral" blonde with reddish undertones. I'm told that I could easily go red-head if I wanted. My sister, in fact, has auburn hair, as did my mother. I think these colors actually flatter me much more than the turquoise cardi: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26254981@N05/2560573282/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....560573282/</a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26254981@N05/2613086581/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....613086581/</a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26254981@N05/2476236755/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....476236755/</a> ... in that last one, both the sweet pea top (which is a murky blue with a murky cream) and the cami, which is not quite as bright as the BR cardi. And brown, I think brown is much more flattering to my skin tone than black. But I wear black anyway. :-) That claret BR top Tanya linked to... that color is just fabulous on me! As I mentioned, I have the one from last season, and everytime I've worn it I get compliments. Angie on "BR wish list" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-wish-list#post-16333 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:17:28 +0000 Angie 16333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That’s my type of shell top. Love the high neck. Shiny my love, what's this “murky colour “ business. You wear florescent pink!!!

Tanya on "BR wish list" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-wish-list#post-16326 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:09:40 +0000 Tanya 16326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shiny, I love that black silk top ! So you! The sweater coat is pretty, you should try it on, it might work out - I can see that it's too short for me. As for the shades of teal, I like the 'mosaic blue' of the cowl too, it's somewhere between turquoise and teal, while the sweater is more of a deep teal. I like them both, but I rarely meet a blue I do not like ( other than super bright royal). I'll wait to go the store after my trip and see how they look for real, and what my finances are like, since I plan to try to find some turquoise and/or silver jewelry in NM. Good luck with the Monogram stuff! There's this really cute shell there: <a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=40620&pid=583270&scid=583270032" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....=583270032</a> shiny on "BR wish list" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-wish-list#post-16323 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:57:57 +0000 shiny 16323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh nooo.... I like my crops. But I guess I need longer cardis to go with my skinnies! Tanya, I also want something in teal, just not sure about the teal of that cowl. The description is "new mosaic blue" and then they have tops in turquoise and in teal. I think they are different shades? Probably one of those situations where I need to see it in person. I love BR stuff, but last season there were a lot of colors that just didn't quite work on me - too bright. I think I do better with murky brights. This top came out a few weeks back, and for some reason it is still calling my name: <a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=16814&pid=583085" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=583085</a> and I love the detail on the neckline of this shirt, I just don't need another black top: <a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=35356&pid=587878" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=587878</a> This has potential: <a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=5036&pid=583230" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=583230</a> ... but I never really know with BR until I try it on! Ooooh! I just noticed they are now offering some of the new Monogram line in petites!! Yeah! Angie on "BR wish list" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-wish-list#post-16318 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:30:15 +0000 Angie 16318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ BR's new design team does it again. There is no stopping them at the moment. I’ve seen half of these items first hand and they are great. The purple necklace is on your list Tanya. They also have it in turquoise and green. I can see many LONG cardi’s in our future. A nice change from the crops. Tanya on "BR wish list" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-wish-list#post-16317 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:26:58 +0000 Tanya 16317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How funny Shiny, I also have the same claret cowl top you are describing from last fall! Which is why I am thinking of getting this new one in teal. But then the #2 is teal too, and do I want both teal top and teal sweater. Than again I love teal. As you can see, my brain is still not quite awake this morning shiny on "BR wish list" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-wish-list#post-16316 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:18:48 +0000 shiny 16316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They had something similar to #1 last fall, in the same claret color, and it's in my closet. One of my favorite tops!
