I'd like to incorporate some orange (and yellow) as accent colors. Maybe starting with beads and shoes, but I can't imagine it by my face *shudder*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe/page/2#post-134491 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:43:43 +0000 Jenava 134491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a single yellow t-shirt, and it is fab in the summer. I don't own much white, if any (I might have just stained my last white tee - we'll see when the wash gets done) but I am DYING for a pair of white denim this summer. </p> <p>I do not own anything Navy. My brown is limited to two beautiful outfits and fab pair of suede booties. </p> <p>I don't own anything gold. </p> <p>I have some orange and green in prints, but nothing solid orange, nothing solid green....I'm sure there are other colors I'm not thinking of, but I do have quite a few colors (and quite a few clothes!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe/page/2#post-134438 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:54:51 +0000 yublocka 134438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot orange - don't own a single thing! It is a fun colour though, so I think I'd like to get something orange that doesn't go too near the face. Maybe a pair of shoes hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe/page/2#post-134413 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:44:35 +0000 greenglove 134413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Missing:<br /> pastels<br /> anything pink or fushia<br /> sweatshirt grey<br /> bright white- 2 shirts I hardly ever wear<br /> most really bright colors,<br /> I think I have muted shades of most other color families </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe/page/2#post-134398 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:10:34 +0000 Angie 134398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, you look gorgeous in pastels and it would be a pity if you didn't wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe/page/2#post-134374 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:05:54 +0000 NK 134374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I'd never flame anyone for pastels! Some people look absolutely amazing in them! </p> <p>I was noticing this actress:</p> <p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm786861824/nm1627969" rel="nofollow">http://www.imdb.com/media/rm786861824/nm1627969</a></p> <p>from the show Better Off Ted often wears pastels and looks incredible in them.

Very little brown (and the two tops I have I don't wear), and very little blue or pink - I need to get more blue. Actually, I need to get more color in there period! Too much black, charcoal, grey and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134278 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:07:35 +0000 Louise 134278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've not got any yellow either just a yellow bag x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134277 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:48:58 +0000 anne 134277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same as queenie. No yellow or orange. No peach Very little green apart from teal/aquas. Almost no brown apart from one pair of boots.

I wouldn't oppose yellow, but you won't catch me dead in orange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134232 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 02:51:59 +0000 bella 134232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own absolutely nothing in yellow or orange. It is a pity, because they both look good with purple and my closet is in constant purple-overload. I also don't own brown clothes. Boots, accessories - yes. Clothes - no. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134228 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 02:46:46 +0000 Mac 134228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very little purple but I just bought a pale lilac peacoat for spring that I think is fabulous, in part because it is so unexpected (both unexpected to have a peacoat in purple, and to see ME in purple!). No powder blue, no yellow (no matter how trendy it was 5 years ago), few jewel tones. I'm envious when I see others looking fabulous in colours that don't suit me, but I'm drawn to browns, grays, and what I call "broken" shades, like olive green or deep teal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134198 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:53:09 +0000 hanna 134198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmm, i honestly can't think of a single color that's missing in my wardrobe. is that weird?! i even have a few pastels! and brown, even though it isn't really my favorite neutral. i guess i've just never really shied away from color!</p> <p>for what it's worth, though, i have very little green, for some reason. an inordinate amount of blues, quite a bit of purples, reds and pinks, even a surprising amount of yellows! but not green. maybe i should be on the lookout... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134158 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:30:45 +0000 NK 134158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting!</p> <p>I'm not sure what I meant by the question, but I think I got the answers I was looking for! ;)</p> <p>I don't think I necessarily avoid any particular color or shade of a color, even pastels, I just don't think they appeal to me as much as brighter shades, I guess. </p> <p>Last summer, I picked up a tangerine blouse just because I loved the bright, summery color. When I got it home I wasn't sure the color was very flattering on me, but I found when I played around with my make up, I could seem to make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134157 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:23:57 +0000 Anonymous 134157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have no white pre YLF, now I do, but have to get used to wearing it.<br /> I have always loved jewel tones.<br /> I do wear pastels in the summer. I thought everyone did! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134154 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:10:04 +0000 marianna 134154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have almost no white in my wardrobe. I've always been self conscious about it being see-through and not flattering on my figure (in my head you can see all the lumps and bumps through white!). I have a white moto jacket, but that's different. No white tops or anything.</p> <p>Otherwise, I have pretty much every color. No pastels, I believe... and very little brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134152 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:04:26 +0000 elpgal 134152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own 0 items in pastel colors.

I don't wear much brown, although I do have some and I really don't wear pastels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134130 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:51:20 +0000 Louise 134130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have much in brown; in fact i only have a pair of brown booties and a tan leather jacket.

I basically wear the same color palette as Angie, minus the chestnuts and brownish hues. No muted, pastel, or pale tones, though my mind is open to pale shiny or sparkley fabrics should I ever need anything that sparkles and shines... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134116 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:30:02 +0000 taylor 134116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would never sell I would give. </p> <p>PM me and I will give you the details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134112 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:23:36 +0000 April 134112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S.

I am not opposed to a bright brown, but I'm not missing it either - but I'll wear chestnut brown as an accessory no problem. </p> <p>I have every colour family covered in my wardrobe, with a strong emphasis on saturated yellow, red, green and turquoise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134095 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:38:06 +0000 Taffy 134095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a red head, so I feel like I have a limited amount of colors that are complimentary...(maybe it's just me) If it isn't a shade of blue,green, or purple I don't own it. I do have some brown because that is an easy complement to my wardrobe colors.</p> <p>I think that at one point I heard Coral or Salmon is a color that is universally complementary, you just have to find the right shading for your skin tone....but I've never really delved into it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-there-a-color-thats-absent-from-your-wardrobe#post-134093 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:51:51 +0000 Beth 134093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yellow and purple are almost completely absent from my closet. </p>
