I do like the olive with black though! </p> <p>They still have tags on while I ponder. :-)</p> <p>Lyn, the sneakers are Adidas in the photo below — a classic from them and a very good deal at the Rack. My last pair of Adidas from Rack lasted many years! My old pair had silver stripes, but I have other sneakers with silver, and I have a good all-white pair, so this time I chose the black striped version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw/page/2#post-2359780 Fri, 10 May 2024 12:05:16 +0000 Suntiger 2359780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the olive most, then the rust for you. Big yay to rust with blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw/page/2#post-2359773 Fri, 10 May 2024 11:18:23 +0000 lyn67 2359773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a good style and fit-no matter the color--your choice-and none is bad-that is all about how you will style them or what are your needs. My choice woud be a version of whites -as most of my summer bottoms do have that color. Surely it is up on your things to pair with! Great new sneakers, which&nbsp; are they exactly? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw/page/2#post-2359743 Thu, 09 May 2024 21:01:06 +0000 JAileen 2359743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I see you’ve already decided. &nbsp;Those three were my absolute favorite colors before I went grey! &nbsp;Lately, I’ve been adding olives, and a few pairs of tan footwear (sandals and clogs). &nbsp;Tan looks great with olive, and I have several vintage Coach bags in tan that I’ve enjoyed using. &nbsp;While I’m sorry you didn’t just love the olive, I always say, more for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw/page/2#post-2359728 Thu, 09 May 2024 14:55:55 +0000 Janet 2359728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!</p> <p>I brought home the cream and rust versions to try on with my summer bottoms. The rust is surprisingly good with my wardrobe, but it makes sense because I have so much blue and the rust looks really good with it. Plus a few printed skirts with rust in the pattern. </p> <p>The cream works great with any solid color and with one or two patterned skirts, including one I just got from Anthro that is a little tricky to work with because it’s blue and cream (looks more white in the stock photo below) and very graphic, and pure white looks - little off with it, at least to my eye. The cream top and the Anthro skirt could sort of justify one another. I need to try on the Anthro skirt with more tops before committing to it.</p> <p>If I keep the rust and cream tops (and at $20 a pop it’s tempting), I think I would still keep an eye out for another casual woven button-front shirt — sleeveless or short sleeved — in a whiter shade for summer. I have an old gauze one from Faherty, but it’s not always the right vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw/page/2#post-2359724 Thu, 09 May 2024 14:33:41 +0000 Star (Lise) 2359724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet&nbsp;</b>FWIW I have always been a winter and when my hair was silver suddenly rust was very good.&nbsp; It was okay before but it was really good with silver hair. I like it now too with my copper hair.&nbsp; Maybe it is more to do with my skin being more light since living in the Northern hemisphere for 9 years.&nbsp; Not sure.&nbsp; You would think rust likes warm skin but not always so.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw/page/2#post-2359722 Thu, 09 May 2024 13:47:54 +0000 Ginger 2359722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another whose favorite is the rust! I agree it's mystifying, since that "shouldn't" be a winter color. I also like the off white on you. The olive is fine, just not my personal favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw/page/2#post-2359692 Thu, 09 May 2024 04:17:05 +0000 Sal 2359692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a diversity of opinions over the colours!&nbsp; Fascinating how different people see different things.....</p> <p>I am not a total convert to colour analysis but I would have thought you were cool, maybe a true winter, but these tones would be more in the soft autumn I think, and they do work.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw/page/2#post-2359687 Thu, 09 May 2024 02:53:27 +0000 Anonymous 2359687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am partial to the olive for you, I also like the rust with your skin tone, the white not so much. It is a basic good color but not as much on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359684 Thu, 09 May 2024 02:03:32 +0000 Bijou 2359684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love outfit #4.</p> <p>I would buy the cream shirt myself because when the weather gets hot, particularly on very sunny days, I prefer to wear light colours. In terms of flattery, they all work to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359658 Wed, 08 May 2024 23:40:42 +0000 Lynette 2359658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for rust and olive which look fab on you! I do not care for the cream as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359599 Wed, 08 May 2024 17:11:19 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2359599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in all of them!&nbsp; The cream, and the cream stripe are my favorites.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>I don't know if people become 'warmer' or 'cooler' or more neutral as they age, but I do know that, as a clear spring person, my best colors within that palette shift depending on whether I'm still my pasty winter self, or had some time in the sun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359593 Wed, 08 May 2024 16:49:02 +0000 The Cat 2359593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You manage to look great all of them.</p> <p>This kind of olive is stunning on you--and will probably be easy to combine with other green and blue items from your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359578 Wed, 08 May 2024 14:39:04 +0000 Carol B 2359578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Olive is the most striking with your coloring. The other two are OK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359567 Wed, 08 May 2024 12:11:13 +0000 RobinF 2359567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your shopping outfit! Now I want to go to the Rack to find that top.</p> <p>My vote is rust #1, white #2, olive #3</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359566 Wed, 08 May 2024 11:52:55 +0000 Helena 2359566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these all look great Janet and am partial to the olive if forced to choose, but they all suit you.</p> <p>From my understanding of colour analysis, softer folks can tolerate more breadth in colour temperature providing the colour also has softness to it ... Perhaps as your hair colour and contrast has softened, this has occured for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359562 Wed, 08 May 2024 10:09:08 +0000 Brooklyn 2359562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Angie.

I usually find they have the worst possible lighting. Anyway, with that in mind it is hard for me to say about the colors - I am imagining both the rust and olive bring out your gorgeous eyes. My eyes seem to be losing darker pigment along with my hair, so I might be cooler as I age?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359531 Tue, 07 May 2024 23:50:03 +0000 MsMaven 2359531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone else: cream is ok, rust is great, and olive fine.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you believe us yet?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359530 Tue, 07 May 2024 23:30:36 +0000 Sal 2359530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all the colours look good - I am drawn to the olive on you but maybe because that's a colour you do wear already.&nbsp; I would think about what else you would wear it with.</p> <p>I purchased an off white blouse for summer and didn't wear it as much as I thought I would.&nbsp; Partly the vee was a bit too low and partly it was a bit see through - which I am trying to avoid because I don't like to have to layer under blouses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359528 Tue, 07 May 2024 22:43:22 +0000 Aquamarine 2359528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all work but loving the rust especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359527 Tue, 07 May 2024 22:37:06 +0000 Suz 2359527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Janet! Your outfit today is so fun and easy! Love the top!&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the potential addition, I like the olive on you best. The cream isn't working as well for me for the reasons Dee says -- which may be superficial, i.e. with a different backdrop and a steam it might be just as great as the others. And of course if you are looking for a light top and know you would use it, then that is obviously relevant! I always need a white or cream top in summer to work with various bottoms and they are not always easy to locate (weirdly enough.) This one looks good on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359524 Tue, 07 May 2024 22:19:18 +0000 Ket 2359524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m also partial to the olive! It really sings on you! 2nd choice is the stripes. What a lovely summer top! I hope you get one or a few </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-with-color-plus-wiw#post-2359517 Tue, 07 May 2024 21:07:11 +0000 Angie 2359517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the colours!
