For me it is more a hair style difference than the color...you rock them all still.<br />However may it be a case when you feel more emotional pull towards some blues vs. others?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693761 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 02:22:01 +0000 Suz 1693761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No offence taken, <b>Nishaa</b>!! That is very funny. I can understand how you see shirt dresses, for sure, but I have a soft spot for them. They were a great style for my mum and also, it turns out, for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693757 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 02:18:29 +0000 Nishaa 1693757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooo.... I love you In that navy dress.<br /> Chambray too looks good on you. You are queen blue.</p> <p>On a side note, shirt dresses to me look like I couldn't find my clothes next morning and grabbed a large(male) shirt to run back home. No pants, you know what I mean, right... *Runs away before fashion police hear this blasphemy and arrest her*</p> <p>Not commenting on yours, please don't be offended with my skewed sartorial vision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693754 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 01:46:49 +0000 Suz 1693754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, I love that, <b>Gaylene.</b> Brilliant. As always.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lots to ponder here. I too prefer the darks but like the style of that dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693733 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 00:14:01 +0000 Gaylene 1693733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also liked the darker blues best, but I suspect my preference has much to do with my liking grey-haired, pixie Suz in an edgier look. To my eye, the chambray dress worked because of its the way you styled it--crisp, bold, and ultra modern. </p> <p>For what it's worth, I nodded at the comment when one of your friends said you looked like Suz's edgier sister. While Suz's look is modern classic, her edgier sister has more eclectic, modern edge to her style. In some of the pictures, it looks like you've raided Suz's closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693731 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 00:11:50 +0000 Suz 1693731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, <b>Lisa</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it's also styling (or lack thereof). Normally I roll these pants more carefully and wear only certain tops with them -- in this case I just pulled them on like PJs and put on the tops -- merely to show the colours. Which is always kind of a dumb thing to do because it distracts!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you all for your thoughts -- it was super helpful to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693717 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 23:10:04 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1693717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not averse to any of them, but i do like the dramatic ones. A comment you didn't ask for: your shorter hair makes your head look a little smaller. So the more voluminous white pants seem a little too big with the super pixie you have now.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693669 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 21:25:09 +0000 Vicki 1693669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You still can do all sorts of blues and I must say the graphic print in 6 is my favorite as is the other print in 12. &nbsp;I, too, like the darker shades as in 10. &nbsp;I can't get enough of these before and afters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693647 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 20:51:13 +0000 Karie 1693647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I haven't read the other comments yet, and here's my two cents:</p> <p>I was going to say I like the deeper and bolder blues the best with your hair color, but then I saw the dress - it's lighter and it's gorgeous. So my conclusion is: You can wear them all! I hate to be like, "it's all good" and not seem to offer any real help, but I truly think these all work well with your new hair color. Since I always like to see dark with light, that's probably why my first inclination was to say that the darker and brighter colors worked best with your lighter hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693627 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 19:47:08 +0000 Laurie 1693627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just having trouble getting past how great your legs look in those gladiator sandals! &nbsp; &nbsp;#6 jumped out at me, so I fall in the darker/more saturated colors camp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693529 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 16:47:50 +0000 RobinF 1693529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I'm late to the discussion but I actually like the lighter blues, especially the chambray dress. I guess you get as many opinions as there are people! My favorite is #12, loved it in your previous post also. But that said I do really like the dark dress (it looks black to me but must be navy?). So I say wear as much blue as you like! They all look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693525 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 16:41:09 +0000 MsMaven 1693525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with the chorus that prefers you with the more saturated or darker colors. And what Angie said about not looking at colors in isolation.</p> <p>I think the lighting at different times of year makes a bit difference as well. It's more intense in summer so bold colors look better.</p> <p>I'm not so sure you are a summer either. I don't remember all the newer 12 categories, but you definitely are more towards one of the edges of summer.</p> <p>I think my Mom was an autumn, but most of her life she wore summer colors, especially after her hair went gray. I suppose it was part her personality as well--she wasn't bold--but she was so boring in all those pastels.&nbsp;</p> <p>Congratulations on a fabulous series. I'm going to reread these threads when I get some more time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693521 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 16:26:47 +0000 Summer 1693521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you are absolutely right.&nbsp; Originally a Summer, I now consider myself to be Cool, using the boldest of the Summer colours and a few from Winter - including black.&nbsp; These colours seem to have far more impact with grey hair than the softer pastel shades, which make me look rather washed out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693425 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 12:12:04 +0000 Anonymous 1693425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I can see, you still look fabulous in a variety of blues. In this group my least favorite is 4 and my favorite is 6. Please keep a variety of blue in your wardrobe. You will miss it if you don't. I like navy, sapphire and icy blue best on myself. Cobalt and chambray are ok but not wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693424 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 12:09:22 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1693424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only one I'm not a fan of is #2, and I think that's as much to do with the cut and casualness of it as the color, which is a little washed out. You look spectacular in the dark blues, but you look beautiful in all of them, in my view. You are really inspiring, because you definitely are more beautiful with your natural hair color and shorter cut, and that gives me hope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693404 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 11:21:03 +0000 Suz 1693404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Shevia</b>, that is interesting. But you also wear a lot of icy light blue, correct? I am wondering if I need to try the icier shades now, and leave the softer medium tones and the muddier shades alone.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the chambray dress, too, and am keeping it, but I think maybe now its flattery is largely of cut/ style, as <b>Beth Ann </b>says. It looks good mainly because it's a really good style for me and less because it's a fab colour, although it is an acceptable and not <b>un</b>flattering colour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693365 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 09:10:10 +0000 Jaime 1693365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so helpful. I am seeing what others have saw- the lighter blues are less good. Still good, and I love the chambray dress, but the darker deeper blues are more "wow". We aren't at all th same coloring but I have notices the same on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693357 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 06:30:50 +0000 Lyn D. 1693357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, the count includes denim but not coats, of which 4 are blue, and add to this 2 blue handbags and half a dozen scarfs too.</p> <p>Sounds like you win though :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3/page/2#post-1693351 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 06:11:35 +0000 Beth Ann 1693351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. &nbsp;I'm actually loving the light chambray -- particularly the dress. &nbsp;It's the middle shades -- especially the classic striped shirt -- that seem better when translated into "Blonde Suz." &nbsp;</p> <p>The chambray dress is modern, and kind of minimalist. &nbsp;Perhaps I see that it matches your new boldness, even in a soft tone. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3#post-1693340 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 05:14:39 +0000 Brooklyn 1693340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the darker and bolder blues. You just look so striking. No 1 is amazing. The lighter colours are still good, just not as good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3#post-1693304 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 02:30:41 +0000 jenanded 1693304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1, 6,10,12 as well. There is something about the dark and the light picking up those contrasts in your hair AND with your eyes and skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3#post-1693297 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 02:16:59 +0000 Suz 1693297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Tulle, </b>you see exactly what I see -- thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Kerry,</b> I am not sure I had done the tightlining in those pics..probably not.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for more grey-- it can't happen because I'm all grey now! But now it goes from a kind of charcoal to silver and will eventually turn snow white, if my parents are any indication. I'll have to see about the drama quotient of a slightly longer pixie -- my idea is to keep the drama but add just a touch of softness -- so we are not talking a big change from this. Just more texture.&nbsp;</p> <p>Aww, <b>Smittie,</b> thanks.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3#post-1693232 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 01:02:38 +0000 tulle 1693232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking as another blue-closet type, I agree with Summer:&nbsp; although I think you can still wear any blue, the deeper and cooler ones really seem to snap you into focus.&nbsp; The&nbsp; paler, warmer chambray just looks slightly less interesting. Silvery periwinkle, deep inks and navy are very glamorous on you--and that multi-blue graphic top is spectacular! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3#post-1693202 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 23:54:09 +0000 kerry 1693202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love blue too! I think all of these blues still work and look gorgeous but I will confess to a slight preference for the darker solid - your eyes pop! Are you tightlining here?</p> <p>Do you think it'll make any difference when you have more grey hair? Do you think the drama value will change with a longer pixie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3#post-1693201 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 23:53:04 +0000 Anonymous 1693201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the ink blue the best on you. It's amazing!<br /> I also rather like the periwinkle-blues better with your new hair.<br /> Actually, I think they all look better with your new hair, even the chambray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3#post-1693199 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 23:46:35 +0000 Suz 1693199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, <b>Jenn</b> --thank you! &nbsp;I think it is true that it feels good just to be who you are, you know? When it's time to stop colouring, it's time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3#post-1693198 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 23:45:39 +0000 Suz 1693198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe how helpful this is to me -- thank you all so much!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the general consensus is that most blues still look good, but the majority seem to agree that on the whole, the darker, richer blues are a surer bet, and the solids appear more popular than most of the prints, although the sharp architectural print of the Aritzia shirt is very flattering. I think that's partly to do with colour placement, and partly to do with the fact that the angles suit my facial structure and personality.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie,</b> I'm keeping my eye open for bright colour at NAS. Fire engine red might be tough to find, but I know I can also wear orchid, magenta, fuchsia, purples, cranberry, burgundy, and more. My eyes are on the lookout!&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes, that is so true, you have to see colour in relationship.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Summer</b>, that is so interesting. I think our colouring must be very similar indeed. I read somewhere that quite a few "true summers" end up as "true winters" or simply as "cool" seasons -- with the coolest tones from summer's and winter's palette. That sounds pretty accurate to me.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>AV,</b> you are not a spanner. I thought I agreed with you at first but in the end, the lighting was so different for those photos and in person the top felt great with the grey hair -- really surprisingly great. It's quite icy, which I think is key .</p> <p>Re the chambray -- I am in agreement with those who think it is slightly less good than before...but...the dress is such a great dress, and a keeper. The shirt is a slightly different hue and maybe not quite as good. (I bought that dress THREE YEARS ago -- really getting on top of the trend, no? I love it.)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lyn</b>, thank you, and now I have to go count. Are we talking year round closet and including denim? If so, I know for sure I have more than 48 blue items. If denim is off the list, we might be tied. Either way, we are Queen Blue North America and Queen Blue Oz. &nbsp;:)</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, I know -- I am sorry I didn't style those outfits. I can't count the number of times I've said to a new member re a K/R post -- "can't tell until you style it!!!" &nbsp;I agree about that dress. The colour is not quite right any more but the fit and vibe is awesome.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Isabelle </b>-- you bet it is. Imagine the financial disaster that would await if I could not wear blue any more!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3#post-1693197 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 23:35:06 +0000 Jenn 1693197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, those darker shades really pop on you now, but I agree with Angie and others that the lighter ones still work. Actually, I'm really struck by seeing these side-by-side images how much more confident and self-possessed you look with the gray hair. I have a hard time even analyzing the color because you OWN it all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3#post-1693195 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 23:31:30 +0000 lynn 1693195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really tried to find a blue here that didn't look good but I didn't! That said, I think going forth, you will know if something new should come home with you. You will "feel" the rightness of it; I'm sure of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mo-better-blues-silver-style-shift-part-3#post-1693184 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 23:15:00 +0000 Alassë 1693184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, #2 and #4 don't look as good as the other, darker shades. I like the solids better on you than the 2 prints at the end, too. I look forward to reading your thoughts on patterns. </p>
