I am tempted to get a pair of brown cords:-)<br />Style Fan, Robin &amp; Mac - The J.Crew blazer is amazing, isn't it. I absolutely love it (and yep, chocolate itself too;-)<br />Donna - I love the sound of that make-up palette, and I hear you on the creamy texture:-)<br />Shevia - *chuckle* And by all means, feel free to start a new forum thread if you want my help with finding something. I'm more than happy to help!<br />Chris - Sorry to hear those pants didn't work out for you.<br />Janet - Me too. Well, I've never had a lot of brown in my wardrobe to begin with, but did love wearing it if it was the "right-for-me" shade, and I'm feeling really drawn to it this season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1849009 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 13:52:47 +0000 Janet 1849009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have a chocolate brown velvet blazer (Tahari IIRC), but it started looking dated a few years ago so I gave it away. The JCrew blazer reminds me of it! </p> <p>After eliminating so much brown from my wardrobe some years back, I am kind of craving it again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1848985 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 12:58:20 +0000 RobinF 1848985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great! Brown is coming back! Another vote for that velvet blazer, gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1848978 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 12:46:56 +0000 Chris987 1848978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>p.s. before Inge wrote this posting, I ordered and returned some jeans very similar to &nbsp;those Style &amp; Co jeans near the top of the finds list. The only difference is that the ones I ordered were petites. They are a nice dark brown and this brand usually works for me, but the "mid-rise" length in a petite size was too long a rise for me, while at the same time the pant length was a bit too short. I need a pretty short rise on pants so if you are more average in your rise measurements they could work for you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1848976 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 12:37:30 +0000 Chris987 1848976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DonnaF I'm looking at that bobbi brown eyeshadow collection...light browns are the eyeshadow colors I always come back to, they seem to work well with my steel blue eyes. I like the idea of a creamy formulation....I know what you mean about getting colored dust all over. &nbsp;Thanks!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1848913 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 03:09:26 +0000 Mac 1848913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems that StyleFan and I have the same tastes.&nbsp; I ADORE that JCrew velvet blazer, and chocolate brown is one of my great loves (well, along with chocolate, itself... heheh).&nbsp; Thank you, beautiful Inge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1848882 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 01:15:04 +0000 Jaime 1848882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we need an Ask Inge to Find column! Amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1848876 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 01:05:07 +0000 DonnaF 1848876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And to go with those browns, see the Bobbi Brown eye shadow below which I just got a few days ago. I've never spent so much on eye shadow, but I figured that four matte colors I would use is probably better than most of a larger, cheaper palette that I wouldn't use. The texture is creamy so I don't get that colored dust all over. What a revelation! </p> <p>I was thinking that for us brown-eyed gals, brown for us is like Angie's olive since her eyes are green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1848684 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 15:33:13 +0000 Style Fan 1848684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chocolate brown is one of my favourite colours for clothing.&nbsp; I love that J Crew velvet blazer.&nbsp; How yummy is that?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1848678 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 14:58:44 +0000 Laura G 1848678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And these! Not-so-dark brown cords.

I'm also not seeing these browns in brick-and-mortar stores, but at least there are some around online...<br />Carla - It is, isn't it! I'm also loving it in the cabernet and dried rose colourways for myself:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1848632 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 11:46:26 +0000 Carla 1848632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That J Crew velvet blazer is yummy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1848630 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 11:41:30 +0000 Chris987 1848630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Did I say WOW! Thanks so much inge! I will definitely look at these! I did a little shopping a few days ago and was whining to myself about the lack of browns in stores.....you must have heard me across the miles .....back to online shopping! That faux leather jacket looks good enough to eat!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/darker-browns-for-chris987#post-1848626 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 10:50:38 +0000 Inge 1848626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-2">Laura's recent thread about taupe items</a>, Chris mentioned she was also looking for items in darker browns.
