Big love. I think your fair skin and dark hair handle the bright color deftly. Do you feel good when you look in the mirror? If you're worried that the color isn't translating well, you could try a few pics in different lights, maybe outside? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195632 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 16:09:06 +0000 unfrumped 1195632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if looks good. It is " memorable" and maybe not as repeatable as opposed to a neutral workhorse, but that adds some fun and zest. I like the idea of using a less expensive find for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195622 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 15:55:13 +0000 JAileen 1195622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color. I'm not sure I like it on you. (You posted an outfit the other day that was fab fab fab!). Also, it looks a little like the SF Giants. If you are a fan, even better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195617 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 15:47:09 +0000 catgirl 1195617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is definitely a strong color but I don't think it overwhelms you with your dark hair.&nbsp; It is high contrast though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195491 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 12:55:54 +0000 rabbit 1195491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lot's of wisdom, thanks all, I'll keep it &nbsp;and experiment with it further.</p> <p><b>Leopardluxe</b> &nbsp;- yep, I definitely plan to wear it with those&nbsp;grays. &nbsp;And if it doesn't get worn, I'd be happy to pass it on to you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195454 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 11:50:08 +0000 leopardluxe 1195454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you (but I admit to an inherent positive bias towards all shades of orange. It is my favorite color!)</p> <p>I think cool toned people can wear warm tones. It's just a matter of what you pair it with. I actually wear a lot of my orange in that same shade with medium to dark gray. It's a gorgeous contrast that I thnk works well on both cool or warm skin tones.</p> <p>Plus, hey, it's a score at TJ Maxx. Keep it and play around with it and different style pairings. I bet that if you were drawn to it initially you'll find some pleasant surprises as to what you end up pairing it with in your closet that you can experiment with.</p> <p>And if you decide you hate it. Do feel free to send it my way. I lurrrrrv orange </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195451 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 11:43:24 +0000 Deborah 1195451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you, both the style and the colour. My wardrobe is predominantly neutrals but I do love having one or two things in a solid colour when I feel like a change:) I think the colour is rather gorgeous on you and the shape of the garment is very current. Keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195345 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 05:30:12 +0000 Dee 1195345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also quite like the color and shape, and can see it working well with the other colors/items in your wardrobe, based on your WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195324 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 04:23:17 +0000 adorkable 1195324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both the color and the shape - but seconding what others have said about the caveats of monitors, blah blah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195317 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 04:12:34 +0000 Jeanie 1195317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From my monitor this is a very flattering color on you. &nbsp;It is saturated like your hair. &nbsp;I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195286 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 03:27:13 +0000 Suz 1195286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit is great, and I really like the sweater. Plus, it would be a fun addition. As for whether the colour truly flatters, like the others, I find it tough to say. I think you do "stand up to it" and if your heart is saying yes, then it's a keep.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195285 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 03:24:43 +0000 rabbit 1195285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the advice all! &nbsp;</p> <p><b>&nbsp;Catnip</b> -&nbsp;I'll do the 'is it wearing me?' test, good point, and try it on with other colors to see how it works in practice rather than theory.</p> <p><b>columbine</b> - Yes, it is a little like California poppies, isn't it?&nbsp;:)</p> <p><b>Peri</b> - I feel pretty good, but I think I need to look at it on me&nbsp;without makeup some more. &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joyce</b> - I'm okay with an assertive color as one part of an outfit, I might need to test drive it a bit more to be sure.</p> <p><b>celia </b>- I think it's more just liking the color than feeling the need for something different. &nbsp;But it does introduce a different element to my wardrobe, you are right.</p> <p><b>Ingunn</b> - I agree about the fun and versatile nature of orange. &nbsp;You do such a great job incorporating brights with neutrals in your outfits, it's inspiring.</p> <p><b>Ceit</b> - thanks! &nbsp;I was thinking of your WIW with an orangey top&nbsp;and blue jeans when I saw it on the rack </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195113 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 00:11:25 +0000 Anonymous 1195113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is one of my favourite colours! I like it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1195074 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 23:08:09 +0000 Joyce B 1195074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks very nice, both the color and the shape. The only thing is that you need to feel confident when you wear an assertive color. It looks great on you but make sure you feel comfortable in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1194973 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 21:04:21 +0000 Ingunn 1194973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it a lot, and think it could turn out to be a fun unexpected piece that you end up wearing a lot. Your own high contrasts in hair and skin keep the orange under control, so I don't think it's wearing you, but I would need to see you IRL to be certain, of course. Orange is a surprisingly versatile color, I think. I'd give it a chance, if I were you. Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1194972 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 21:02:10 +0000 celia 1194972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't feel that the colour overpowers you but, then again, through the computer it is a bit difficult to judge.<br />I like the shape.<br />Do you feel like something different?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1194968 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:58:56 +0000 Peri 1194968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great! But I love color so I'm biased. How do you feel in it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1194966 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:58:17 +0000 columbine(erin) 1194966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to be certain of the color, but it seems to go nicely with the dark blue. I like the shape on you, it lays well. Since you got a good deal on it, it seems worth experimenting with a warmer color than you're used to. It might be fun with the olive you mentioned. That makes me think of California poppies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1194944 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:38:10 +0000 Catnip 1194944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape on you, and I like orange with navy or cobalt.&nbsp; The color looks OK to me on my computer, but I would have to see it IRL to know for sure if it looks really good on you.&nbsp; If it's inexpensive you could keep it and see how it works out.&nbsp; Otherwise, I would&nbsp;return it.&nbsp; I'm not sure at all how it would go with&nbsp;pastels... well, it might look OK with light blue.&nbsp; </p> <p>This is a hard question to answer, but what do you see first when you look at yourself wearing the cardigan?&nbsp; The orange sweater or your face?&nbsp; I'm certainly no expert, but I think the answer is supposed to be your face.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-blinded-by-the-bright---canshould-i-wear-this-color#post-1194918 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:19:20 +0000 rabbit 1194918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I found this deep pure orange Micheal Kors cardigan at a very very good price at TJ Maxx. &nbsp; I like this deep saturated orange, but I don't know that it likes me. &nbsp;I'm a winter/cool color wearer. &nbsp;I tried to adjust the color levels to be accurate, but basically if you see any cooler/redder tones on your monitor, they aren't there. &nbsp;It's straight up Micheal Kors orange (see the bag image below as an example of&nbsp;the true color I found online).</p> <p>Pros: &nbsp;it will probably go with a lot of my neutrals: olive, blues, ink/navy blue, lavender, black, gray. &nbsp;In the photos I'm wearing it with gray and dark blue, and I'm wearing some&nbsp;makeup, so it's not likely to get much better tone-wise.</p> <p>Cons: It's introducing a new color to a cohesively cool toned&nbsp;wardrobe. &nbsp;Also, recent experiments notwithstanding,&nbsp;I won't do bright with bright much if at all - it would get worn with pastels and/or neutrals.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thoughts? &nbsp;What about the shape?&nbsp;Yay wear, nay pass </p>
