And seeing the blush jacket on your other thread reinforces how much better that shade is than this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631821 Sat, 19 Mar 2016 02:03:39 +0000 Beth Ann 1631821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the top -- but I am glad you've decided on a soft-white version, since it will be more versatile. &nbsp;I'm sure you could make the warmer blush work for you -- there are colors I love well enough to wear a brighter lip, or to pair with a scarf. &nbsp;Then there are some colors I'm not willing to work for. &nbsp;This is all about the happiness factor, though, and that's hard for anyone else to gauge. &nbsp;</p> <p>I do think you "pull of" low contrast pairing quite beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631747 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 23:52:19 +0000 Elle 1631747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just looked at this top in the store and the white is fairly sheer. You will probably need a cami. &nbsp;It's very very cute in real life.</p> <p>PS I think the blush color is going to be difficult for most people to wear. It's kind of muddy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631619 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 19:25:09 +0000 rachylou 1631619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked it...the low low contrast...hehe, too late to convince you otherwise </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631583 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 18:52:59 +0000 Suz 1631583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What the others are saying -- I would find it a bit peachy for myself, for what it is worth. Having said that, I do have a top in this colour myself but it is the DVF sweater with black and white leopard print on it -- the contrast on the top seems to make the blush much more flattering on me somehow, plus that print is ideally sized/ shaped for my own size, which also helps.&nbsp;</p> <p>If I went with this, I'd also wear with a scarf or topper that would provide a bit more contrast or interest. But soft white will be lovely on you and another blush top will appear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631574 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 18:48:56 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1631574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Janet, I would prefer something a bit more cool pink and less peach. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631524 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 17:37:15 +0000 Sal 1631524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have made the right call.

That was my first thought without reading your post or others.That doesn't mean it's unflattering, or that you can never wear this colour... But perhaps not in a detailed summer piece that should really stand alone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631367 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 15:08:27 +0000 Tanya 1631367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much ladies for all of your input, it has been most helpful!</p> <p>I think that I am going to exchange the top for the soft white version and look for something else in a different shade of blush, as I really want a new blush top for the spring.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do wear blush, but my ideal shade has more of a blue/mauve undertone and I never even question it.&nbsp; This one indeed made me disappear as soon as I put it on, and I did not know what to make of it.&nbsp; I could make it work with a scarf or necklace in white or other contrasting color and lots of make up, but as Lisap said on a different thread, it is too much work. <br />I do wear make up. but usually it is pretty soft and natural.&nbsp; This top would require a bolder lipstick, which I do not like wearing at work/everyday situations, as I have very full lips and bright lipstick draws attention to that.<br />Once again, thank you so much for steering em in the right direction :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631365 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 15:03:43 +0000 Janet 1631365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to see a bit more pinkish tone on you.

It is a very pretty color and I think it looks good on you but if you are struggling with the color, I would move on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631357 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 14:57:46 +0000 Banoffi 1631357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's the best color on you, as it is too close to your skin tone.&nbsp; </p> <p>When I was in my 20's I loved wearing peach tops and sweaters.&nbsp; I had a passport photo taken wearing a peach top.&nbsp; I'll never forget going through Immigration at O'Hare.&nbsp; The agent looked at me, looked at my passport, and repeated this a number of times.&nbsp; Then he said "It looks like you're not wearing anything in your photo."&nbsp; !!!!&nbsp; I never wore that top again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631353 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 14:54:47 +0000 Anonymous 1631353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this colour too, but find I need to wear at least a moderately intense lip colour to make it work - otherwise too much blending in of skin and hair. &nbsp; Do you wear makeup? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631351 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 14:51:54 +0000 texstyle 1631351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's your best color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631347 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 14:46:48 +0000 Elle 1631347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shape and fit of the sweater very much but think the white would work better on you.

I try to have something in my "mauvy-blush" prototype color with me when I can, or, since LOFT still features items closer to that cooler color, I can compare to items in-store. So, for me it's too warm.<br />I have to keep repeating the mantra, "Step away from the peachy blush".</p> <p>I would consider, and have bought, tops that are JFE, of course, that are enhanced by&nbsp; &nbsp;require a scarf or jewelry to "skew" them to more flattering tone IF they are fantastic outfit-makers in some other way or bring a favorite print out of orphanhood or something, but still need to stay flattering enough and &nbsp;it's a fraught option for me as it can become a wardrobe benchwarmer or get tossed after a couple of wears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631329 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 14:28:42 +0000 Angie 1631329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631322 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 14:19:26 +0000 Anonymous 1631322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just kind of blah on its own.&nbsp; I agree with Diana about adding a scarf to zhush it up a bit as far as contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631318 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 14:16:33 +0000 viva 1631318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it a little too dull for you, Tanya.

It's up to you whether you like that or not. If it were me, I'd probably keep but wear it with a contrasting scarf or necklace or something. It wouldn't even have to be very high contrast - I think any shade of grey would be lovely with this color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631313 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 14:13:18 +0000 Sara L. 1631313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the top looks fine on you.&nbsp; I have a top in a similar shade that&nbsp;is very close to my skin tone and I like it a lot.&nbsp; I think it's going to come down to personal preference.&nbsp; Do you like how it matches your skin tone or not?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631290 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 13:25:37 +0000 Anonymous 1631290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say 'no'.

But typically end up not wearing them much.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I am not comfortable with such low contrast myself. </p> <p>I think this color objectively looks good on you. I think it is a more subjective preference issue here. Are you comfortable with a top that blends in so much.? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631275 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 13:09:33 +0000 Ginger 1631275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not going to be much help, because I've struggled with this same exact question. I think I'm actually closest to a Winter, but with similar skin and slightly darker hair and eyes.&nbsp; I've tried on several blouses in a similar color and not been able to decide if I liked it or not. The color being such a good and flattering match for skin tone is tricky.</p> <p>The biggest reason I haven't gotten one yet is that I decided I would like a different color <i>better.</i> That's not really judging the color on its merits.&nbsp; But I think it reflects my Winter tendencies.&nbsp; You're a Summer, and I do think your more delicate coloring can handle this well.</p> <p>That said, do you <i>want </i>to make the blush work? Would soft white be a consolation prize, or is it objectively your preferred color? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-this-color#post-1631267 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 12:52:22 +0000 Tanya 1631267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this Loft blush summer sweater together with the white cropped kicked flares and really like the cut and fit.&nbsp; However, I can not tell at all if the color works or not.&nbsp; <br />I know that this is not an entirely fair question considering that I do not like to show my face in the photos, but I would appreciate any input you can give based on the limited information.&nbsp;&nbsp; When it comes to blush colors, blue based versions work well on me and warmer, peachy ones not at all.&nbsp; My coloring is that of a Cool Summer ( very fair skin, light blue eyes, dark blond hair with ash highlights) and similar to out beautiful forum member Suz. This particular shade of blush looks neither warm nor cool to me but more nude - kind of like makeup foundation with pink undertones.&nbsp; It really blends with my skin.&nbsp; In the color palettes for my "season" rose beige is an option though I could never find/make it work for me.&nbsp; I like the sweater well enough that if you think this color is best left alone, I plan to exchange it for the soft white option.</p>
