I can't really tell how colors look on people in photos since the computer moniter can change how colors look in photographs. I prefer the berry, although you have other berry toppers they seem like very different styles from this jacket. I also like the olive if you are looking for something a little different from what you already have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-795102 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:09:46 +0000 Diana 795102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Olive! It's different enough from citron that it won't be a duplicate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-795028 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:33:05 +0000 krishnidoux 795028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the dye, pic 2 is my favourite on you hands down. Even if you do have another jacket this colour, there is a reason for you to have this one. I think it would marry well with raspberry tops underneath, or a cream /winter white turtle neck. The cognac colour seems a bit different (lighter) from the one in 8 too. Pic 2 is also in your palette, making it easy to style. </p> <p>But if you are in for a totally new direction, then go for 4, it's fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-715219 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 23:39:45 +0000 Anonymous 715219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Rae! Glad to be here &amp; learning from you! I admire your style &amp; your thiftiness! It's wonderful to see that it's possible to live below one's means &amp; look greatI I vote for #4, but then I'd better add that I have a strong bias in favor of olive green. (I have an olive leather jacket, my glasses are olive, I have an olive leather skirt, olive hat, olive Bakelite bangle, etc.) </p> <p>Megan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711879 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 19:47:17 +0000 CocoLion 711879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After viewing what you have, I say leave it alone. My favorite option is #2, and it is something between what you already have in 8 and 9.</p> <p>ETA: the reason I didn't pick #4 is not because it doesn't look good on you, it's because I personally don't like that color although I can't figure out why. In all respects it should be a nice, rich color. Right now I am going through a major love of dirty beige and mauve colors even though they are not flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711868 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 19:35:10 +0000 cheryl 711868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm all about #4.

To me #4 was a clear winner, so that's my vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711596 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:12:33 +0000 Angie 711596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711469 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 09:58:15 +0000 Mander 711469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the original color, too, but I've been in this weird beige phase so my opinions may need to be tempered with those of more accomplished YLFers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711453 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 08:32:00 +0000 Deborah 711453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the color it is, but if you are changing it, the olive green is beyond stunning:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711363 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 04:39:49 +0000 Parsley 711363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like the idea of red, but I'm coming around to that green now that I've seen the color on you. It would be unique and very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711362 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 04:36:23 +0000 fashionista 711362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>However to add the original color doesn't wash you out. It looks flattering to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711361 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 04:35:33 +0000 fashionista 711361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for #4.

I am not opposed to the current color if it doesn't look horrible on me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711257 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 23:56:41 +0000 Brain of Jen 711257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was gonna say red based on the thumbnails, but when I looked at the full pics, olive is definitely the way to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711246 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 23:43:27 +0000 Anonymous 711246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I clearly missed the first thread but out of all the colors, I love the green and the jacket as is. Are you hating the taupe color? I don't think the green is anything close to the citron. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711233 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 23:32:40 +0000 Suz 711233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I love the green and think it is different enough from your citron jacket to play differently. The leather jacket has such a different style and feel - and wow, the fit is spectacular on you! What a fantastic find. </p> <p>What a terrific way to show us, too! Very helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711215 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 22:39:39 +0000 DonnaF 711215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The camel is definitely not SSB on you, but I feel that it reads so neutral that you need pattern or another color next to your face to inject some energy. If you were a scarf gal, you would wear a leopard print scarf -- but you aren't.</p> <p>I don't equate olive with citron, so I think that will add a lot of possibilities. I leave it to you to imagine it with your dresses, skirts, pants, and jeans. </p> <p>The cognac looks like the same family as #8, and the red looks like it is in the same family as #7; maybe it is my eyes that I just don't see it with #4 and #5; my bias?</p> <p>I have found that the only added colors that don't work for me are the ones that I can't wear next to my skin because they are too vivid, too muddy, too cool, or whatever. Ultimately, they feel *off* and really don't play well with the rest of my wardrobe. I recently bought a citron blouse, a color I've never worn, and found it goes with virtually everything, same with my red orange jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711187 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 21:20:20 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 711187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #3 but see what you mean about the reds. When I went through the colors, cinnamon popped into my head when I saw #2. It looks spicy and is very different from your other jackets. I think I would pick that one if I was choosing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711185 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 21:17:20 +0000 texstyle 711185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, First, I think you could easily leave it as is for at least a season to enjoy a soft neutral classic (it does look really good on you as is). If you want to dye it, I also really like the olive green - I see it as super useful in that muted tone - next would be the red for me -- your current red jackets are not similar in style so I don't think it would be a duplicate either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711160 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 20:33:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 711160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your mock ups are a great visual aid Rae and as soon as I saw the colours, I completely gravitated to #4 - the olive green. Love it! It's completely different than citron so I don't consider it a duplicate colour at all. You already have jackets in red shades and also in the camel/brown family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-dye-mockups-and-item-outfit-capsule-considerations#post-711158 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 20:31:01 +0000 rae 711158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am here to beg opinions on dye colors again! The consensus last time was that a deep berry red color would be best - now I am having second thoughts because I have three red toppers as it is - not that awesome berry red, but still. The second choice was the sour olive color in 4, but I realized I have my bright citron yellow/green jacket, too. Then I thought a nice, saturated cognac would be good, but I do have my medium brown jacket. </p> <p>On the one hand, riffing within my signature colors is a good thing, because it will help items mix and match well. On the other hand, going outside the norm (i.e. possibly leaving the jacket camel or going for a totally different color) would widen the variety of looks I can create. On the other hand, the non-signature colors like camel won't look as flattering on me. </p> <p>What are your thoughts on colored additions to your capsules? Do you try to stay within your set colors, or do you like to aim for variety first and foremost?</p> <p>#1 is the jacket as-is.<br /> #2-4 are Photoshop mockups<br /> #5-9 are my current colored jackets in similar colors </p>
