I appreciate it. Lisa, I had run out of my usual mauve so I replaced with a warmer lippie (ok two) ... Pretty neutral just not so pink. </p> <p>Sal thank you! I've been working a lot on taking good care of my nervous system, reintroducing yoga, getting tons of sleep ... It's definitely helping :)</p> <p>Jaime it's nice to be seen by your friends lol ;)</p> <p>Tx Kkards! And all! Xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412372 Wed, 06 May 2026 00:06:54 +0000 MsMaven 2412372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All my favorite colors (except for green, which is a leftover from childhood.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm in love with the combination in #12. Gorgeous on you. You look great in all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412367 Tue, 05 May 2026 23:34:17 +0000 kkards 2412367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well these colors are so good on you. The burgundy is fab, and the camel<br /> Makes it pop. And the brown and black outfit #6 is chic but easy. And look at you DIYing —so good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412356 Tue, 05 May 2026 22:48:48 +0000 Jaime 2412356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful throughout Helena. The dyed pieces worked out so nicely. I always assumed if I dyed anything it would come out all splotchy (and it probably would ). Well I can't pick a favorite because these all work so well, but the one with the hat did make me smile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412347 Tue, 05 May 2026 22:00:14 +0000 Sal 2412347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and what a good experiment. I love the cream jeans and coat, and you suit the red of course. The earthy tones are good and it is fun to experiment with them.</p> <p>The beanie is awesome. What a nice gift. Hope you are doing well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412346 Tue, 05 May 2026 21:42:59 +0000 LJP 2412346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and I think these earthier colours work quite well for you . Have you had to tweak your makeup at all ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412345 Tue, 05 May 2026 21:41:46 +0000 LJP 2412345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m impressed ! Great job with the 2 dyed pieces . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412335 Tue, 05 May 2026 19:09:22 +0000 Helena 2412335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the kind comments!</p> <p>Thanks for the hat love ... That particular friend has an excellent sense of humor and mischief, this is not the first overthinker item she's left on my doorstep for me lol!</p> <p>Suz, I had partial success ... The short sleeve came out the best, with the long sleeve coming out almost perfect, with the exception of the neck seam, which is slightly off, but not so much so that I'm worried about it. (Both cotton) I tried to do a linen shirt that has sunscreen stains, and that was not as successful; the thread must be 100% synthetic as it didn't take a drop of the dye, so now it has weird white seams. I'm going to try overdying with synthetics dye and see if it comes out even or just compounds the issue!</p> <p>I took a risk on a cashmere sweater as well; that was with navy dye. It came out pretty good ... Not perfect at some of the seams but again, nothing to put me off wearing it, not noticeable unless you're looking for it. </p> <p>Each batch needed a different type of dye; it's been fun learning about it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412321 Tue, 05 May 2026 17:03:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2412321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your dyed pieces came out so well--beautiful job!--and they look great on you. All these outfits look very in keeping with your style, elegant, streamlined, and polished. The hat is super fun and gave me a laugh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412314 Tue, 05 May 2026 16:07:54 +0000 Suz 2412314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I am so impressed that you have jumped on the dyeing bandwagon! Brilliant. Did everything you tried turn out? I really like the sweater in 6.&nbsp;</p> <p>You're looking fab in all of these but my faves are (predictably!) 4 and 10. Also, fun hat! And fun friend for suggesting it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412303 Tue, 05 May 2026 14:23:06 +0000 Angie 2412303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fabulous,<b> Helena</b>! Evolution - and DIY projects!! - and it&nbsp; all works seamlessly and honestly into your style. The palettes suit you beautifully :)</p> <p>My faves are the looks with the off white pants!</p> <p>#6 must give you extra satisfaction! WELL DONE.&nbsp;</p> <p>Very CBK in #5! Suits you.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412295 Tue, 05 May 2026 13:39:14 +0000 Star (Lise) 2412295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are my winter colours minus the off-white, so I approve :). I particularly like how the sweater turned out in 6. Good job injecting new life into lackluster pieces! Outfit 9 is sharp and edgy - the booties take it to the next level along with the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412290 Tue, 05 May 2026 13:24:07 +0000 Sisi 2412290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with <b>Aquamarine</b>, you look well in all these colors. I like you particularly in # 1 and # 9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412287 Tue, 05 May 2026 13:19:15 +0000 pirouette 2412287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits my favourite is the camel coat and cream jeans in picture 10.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412283 Tue, 05 May 2026 13:03:11 +0000 Aquamarine 2412283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All look fab! It seems there is no color you can’t wear. Especially loving 4…must copy! And I need the hat lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-ish-spring#post-2412280 Tue, 05 May 2026 12:39:09 +0000 Helena 2412280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Friends, I've been lurking more than participating lately but the style journey continues! At the behest of my daughter and cousin, I've been playing with an earth-inspired palette this spring - perfect given the fall-like weather!</p> <p>Channeling my inner <b>Brooklyn</b>, I dyed a few lack-lustre pieces a milky chocolate brown, added a dark brown purse and belt, and pulled out the pieces that feel earthier to me in my wardrobe - burgundies, greens, navy (borderline I know, but a good black alternative) beiges/off whites, and browns. Add in a true red for fun (reads brighter in the photos, I think it's a true pure red irl).</p> <p>A different approach for me and I'm enjoying it this spring!</p> <p>Thanks for looking! Are you playing new-to-you colours or other elements this spring?</p> <p>1 - tan &amp; burgundy<br />2/3 - earthy-ish tones plus a pop<br />4 - burgundy and off white and brown<br />5 - column of navy<br />6 - dyed sweater (formerly soft white)<br />7 - one of my friends said she saw this hat and knew i had to have it lol<br />8 - pop of red<br />9 - more navy<br />10 - camel, burgundy, and off white<br />11 - a local "field of gold" (memory garden) - just because it was so pretty!<br />12 - the other dyed piece - formerly a lackluster light tan. these pants need to be slightly hemmed but I've been too lazy! chocolate accents. </p>
