It's casual with a lux edge...the boots and bag are gorgeous. I think your bag choice was perfect having the versatility of over shoulder and backpack, as well as easy care nylon. </p> <p>I don't so much look for colours as avoid certain colours. I feel that light neutrals make me look washed out and I tend to avoid cream, beige etc. strong colours tend to suit me better, although I've noticed as I get older that it's changing a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1681143 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 19:37:22 +0000 viva 1681143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been thinking of you as I ponder he color thing - how deep saturates are my best (not sure "saturates" can be a noun but I am taking poetic license) and how you are so clearly the loveliest and most you in these sandy tones. You look gorgeous, and I love your bag choice. Plus, I still cover those boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1681116 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 18:31:34 +0000 annagybe 1681116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic look for you!<br /> I really like my Panasonic Lumix camera, I've had several generations of them since 2006 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1681090 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 16:57:05 +0000 catgirl 1681090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look! My patent black booties serve the same purpose for me. I don't wear them in summer because I wear them so much the rest of the year. This is a perfect upscale casual look with the warm tans and your coloring. Black and grey are my neutrals as you know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1681088 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 16:41:20 +0000 Beth Ann 1681088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can wear any light neutral, Denise! &nbsp;You look lovely in the color, and I'm so glad you found a pair of workhorse boots that feel good and inspire great outfits and capsules! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1680996 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 11:14:04 +0000 Sally 1680996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look. Love the boots. Don't worry about going into stores. I photograph in my work toilet. Most of my clothes are black or charcoal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1680975 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 09:01:53 +0000 CocoLion 1680975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for commenting, I know I don't deserve your time as I haven't been putting enough into the forum lately. &nbsp;But you know I still love you all!!!</p> <p>I am so intrigued by all of your colors. &nbsp;I know mine is so close to Soul-Sucking -Beige! &nbsp;But somehow, it is peaceful and neutral not life sucking, to me at least. &nbsp;I too love olive and navy and white. &nbsp;It has been wonderful to go beyond black, although I still love it with white. &nbsp;Then there was gray, which I haven't totally ruled out, but I do find beige/camel/tan/whatever mostly more flattering on me than gray. &nbsp;You all know I have thought a lot about this question. &nbsp;I was recently going through my iPhoto albums and whoa-- what a lot of ridiculous outfit photos. &nbsp;And oh my, does aging happen quickly when you're um, aging. &nbsp;I mean, early 2014 photos suddenly look so young!!! &nbsp;Just nothing to do about except smile more?</p> <p>I am so enjoying the quality of these hero pieces. &nbsp;Even though the AW bag is not quite as practical and user friendly as a Fossil bag! &nbsp;Mr Wang, please check out Fossil!!! I love their bags for functionality, quality and price. &nbsp;I call Mr. Wang's Marti bags my "Luminosity bags." &nbsp;(Although Luminosity has been disgraced as having made false claims.) &nbsp;It's a brain game for me to remember which of the 10 zippered pockets I've put my stuff in! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1680955 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 06:51:40 +0000 Adelfa 1680955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful look! I've been buying olive just uncontrollably for over a year. I have two olive cardigans, olive skinnies, olive crops, olive suede booties, an olive tee, an olive sweater.... I like to pair olive with the "color-colors" I've settled on over the years such as purple, wine, and all shades of pink--as well as with expected neutrals such as black, deep gray, ivory, and navy. I have deep green eyes, but they are murky enough that you can't really tell. So it's not that the olive brings out my eyes, but I think it feels super comfortable and "me" because it's one of my personal colors, just like your scrumptious rich pale tans and your hair. And it's softer and more interesting than black, and a nice change from the gray that I accidentally replaced my black stuff with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1680828 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 01:12:27 +0000 Caro in Oz 1680828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the whole outfit - you look great I really love these neutrals too they look so luxe imo. The bag is a great choice. I think the backpack has become part of my signature style - so much better for my back &amp; shoulders :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1680824 Sat, 18 Jun 2016 01:03:33 +0000 Tanya 1680824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These beautiful pale shades are so pretty on you, Denise, and both the bag and the booties are gorgeous. A set of accessories in the same color family does wonders to pull a lot of outfits together in my experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1680786 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 23:47:11 +0000 Aida 1680786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These creamy tan shades are gorgeous for you Denise! Especially like the look of 'em paired with white and denim. An easy signature look.</p> <p>Orange and white for me Though I do wear lots of colors, these two are my most favorite and I never feel I can have enough.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1680622 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 18:59:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1680622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This color of tan/beige is fantastic for you. It's like your shade of "camel" that you were searching for last fall. (Softer, and less orange than most camels.) The backpack is beautiful and complements those sharp boots so well. Good investments, I'd say. Your outfit is so chic looking. I am with you--shoes and bags are key to making a look for me. Not in the logo-flashing way, but in the way of exuding subtle quality. For me, it's as much a feel as a look; the feel contributes to how I present myself in the outfit. <br />I go through color phases, I think. This past fall/winter/spring I was picking up whatever I found in a deep burgundy shade or a particular shade of purpley mauve that I particularly like to wear, and that seemed to be available this year. A year or two ago it was teal. There are certain hues that I know I wear well, and when they come around, I like to nab them. I'm always on the lookout for cool olive tones, too. <br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1680610 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 18:41:39 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1680610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag was a great choice, Denise.

What a perfect way to dress with jeans and tee. Your bag is fab and does not look like a backpack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1680434 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 11:34:15 +0000 Suz 1680434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing Denise. Those booties and jeans are indeed worth every penny. The tones harmonize with your hair. As for the backpack, I think it can be worth it to embrace any trend that shows a good chance of being a strong lifestyle fit. I only have an inexpensive Zara fashion backpack but it is unquestionably one of my most used items. I do like that it is not leather so I can carry it in rain. </p> <p>My whole wardrobe is sort of a colour based giant capsule. Colour wise, everything (almost) works with everything else. Not necessarily silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1680422 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 10:57:33 +0000 Ledonna N. 1680422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look lovely in neutrals.

Right now maybe is my moment for light blues... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-neutral-hero-pieces----capsuling-around-a-specific-color#post-1680383 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 07:05:09 +0000 CocoLion 1680383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been shopping and capsuling around this light neutral color, the color of the Acne booties. &nbsp;It's a tan with khaki and yellow notes. &nbsp;And yes, I know you all are sick of me posting about these shoes, but&nbsp;I wear them ALL the time, they were worth every full price penny.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; Recently <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----expensive-bag-options-that-i-dont-need">I posted about a matching bag</a>. &nbsp;I decided on the Alexander Wang Mini Marti backpack. &nbsp;Honestly I was worried the backpack thing might be over... it's a trend that's been going since 2013. &nbsp;In general I don't like to be a late trend adaptor, there's my vanity plus it's not good financial sense KWIM. &nbsp;But I still liked this bag and look! you can wear it like a shoulder bag. &nbsp;I do feel like having a great bag, footwear and watch makes my jeans-and-a-tee lazy habit more interesting. &nbsp;So I get to fit into my environment (jeans and tee) but I can make it all subtly more fashionable, so at least I'm pleased.</p> <p>The bag also goes with these espadrille slides and a lightweight Minnie Rose cotton poncho. &nbsp;Happy matchy heaven.</p> <p>Sorry that my photo quality is not what it used to be... I'm down to using my phone and have to sneak into stores to take selfies which is bad for my wallet. &nbsp;Does anyone have any recommendations for a good digital camera that takes quality pictures, but is lightweight and squarish i.e. can be propped up without a tripod, to take timer photos?</p> <p>But back to the main topic, do you shop around a specific color and if so, what is that color?</p>
