I enjoyed feeling overtly (for me) feminine for the day.</p> <p>Angie has the SS-Beige key: keep it away from your face. IRL the main beige of the skirt is SO close to my leg color that it's scary! </p> <p>Janet - Yeah, the belt is stark, but in my closet I might try it again with brown (also in my closet).</p> <p>Nicoleb - the pics were bare legged, I actually wore nude microfishnets. It was 50-degress that day and I managed fine - hooray!!<br /> Nicoleb &amp; hbaer - the shoes were from Goldenbleu - right before they went under. I stocked up and got these platfroms and another monster 5" platorm wedge pair among others. These will probably see some action this summer, the others are bright gold and must only peek out from under flared pants!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314701 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:13:48 +0000 Scarlet 314701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314690 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:53:36 +0000 Isis 314690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cute skirt! Love the belt in 1 and 2, but would prefer with a lower contrast sweater. Really love the the colors in 5---your sandals tie everything together! </p> <p>I like the neckline of the black top too, for summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314652 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:05:17 +0000 tracy 314652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all are great, but I like #3 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314649 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:03:09 +0000 RoseandJoan 314649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like options 3 and 4 and soul sucking beige is given life in a pattern </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314644 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:53:19 +0000 Heather 314644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore those heels in #4! Do tell! Love that skirt. =) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314530 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:20:53 +0000 Angie 314530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are wearing a beige coloured pattern away from your face WITH black. That's why it works :)</p> <p>Like #3 a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314522 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:02:50 +0000 Debora 314522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty skirt, Sara! It's a yay from me. I like options 3 and 4 the best, and those are adorable shoes in photo #4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314519 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:56:42 +0000 Mo 314519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is too cute! And #3 is nice in a more sophisticated way. On my monitor this looks pale yellow and not beige at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314515 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:47:37 +0000 Aziraphale 314515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara -- if you are a freak of nature, then I am too, because I quite like beige. I like some beiges more than others, but still. And I love love love ivory, cream and bone. These are all elegant, classy colours to me! I was surprised by the many violent reactions to beige in the comments to Angie's post on the topic. </p> <p>I like all of your outfits, especially the one with the black tank -- but I tend to prefer sleeveless, too. What a cute skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314500 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:17:55 +0000 rae 314500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH, I love #4! The beige is not near your face, it's tempered by a nice bright floral pattern, and it pairs lovely with your bright tops. That skirt definitely does not suck your soul. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314493 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:07:46 +0000 kellygirl 314493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, Sara! I especially love it with the black tank but all of those combinations are fun! Great floral--I wouldn't mind adding one of those to my closet : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314487 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:57:59 +0000 nicoleb 314487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara where are those shoes from in #4? Love them!</p> <p>For me #3 was my least favorite but i like all the others! I don't think it's soul sucking because it's not near your face? Also, are you wearing bare legs already??? Or maybe hose? Just asking cause i'm still in tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314468 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:38:02 +0000 Anonymous 314468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #4. The contrast of the black in #3 looks too harsh to my eyes with your skin tone and hair color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314461 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:25:28 +0000 teri 314461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving #3 and 4 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314443 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 12:32:19 +0000 Lynne 314443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, I for one love this skirt on you, and IMO number 4 is a 10+. The shoes and cardi are divine with this skirt. So I vote a big YAY. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314441 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 12:27:10 +0000 Janet 314441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think beige is fine like this, when it's a background for some color! Also, I'm with AJ in that I think it helps when it's not up near the face. </p> <p>I'm not crazy about the high contrast light belt with the teal sweater for some reason, but these are some nice options. I love the gold flats and the wedges with the skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314439 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 12:23:45 +0000 MNsara 314439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies - so far I'm off to work in #2 - because no one is stopping me. . .</p> <p>lyn - that's a combo I will try too - black top with gold flats<br /> Taylor - yes, black and beige - definitely<br /> AJ - I love the hot orange sweater (and now realize it will make some people cringe ;-)<br /> Random Thought - I'll try a belt - good idea!</p> <p>Please keep voting - there are many spring/summer days ahead where I would also be bare legged, and further enhance the beige experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314437 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 12:20:02 +0000 TravellingTam 314437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about #3 but with the gold flats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314373 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 05:01:10 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 314373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also rather like #4. Might look cute with a belt too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314368 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 04:50:47 +0000 AJ 314368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, yay for Savers! I've gotten some great name brands there.</p> <p>Second, I think beige is less soul sucking when worn on the bottom half. Hee-hee! This is a cute skirt and I luv how you've styled it in #4...so fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314360 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 04:34:20 +0000 taylor 314360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely love the contrast in #3!!<br /> Beige is not my best color...but i always pair it with black so it is one of my favorite neutrals!!<br /> You look FAB </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314359 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 04:31:31 +0000 lyn* 314359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is by far my favorite! Kinda bad-ass vibe going on with the black top and fun and flirty skirt I also applaud the gold flats. Gold flats will always be +1 in my book </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-my-new-soul-sucking-beige-#post-314358 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 04:17:50 +0000 MNsara 314358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least it was thrifted, but I think I'm a freak of nature in my attraction to beige (cream, ivory, etc. bring it on -- I am not discerning). </p> <p>No sooner did I read Angie's blog about your 'worst colour in the world', and I fin myself standing in the Saver's checkout deliberating long and hard whether to spend the $3 on this soul-sucking (BR silk) skirt. I love the silk, I love the vintage vibe of the print/color, I love the fuller feminine silhouette.</p> <p>I probably prefer the sleeveless options, but it may be another two months before its sleeveless weather here :-(</p> <p>so, dare I wear it tomorrow - done up the dark teal (not accurate in pic) sweater way? </p> <p>Yay - it's okay to wear (aka: the soul-sucking beige lengthens your 'glow in the dark' leg line!)</p> <p>Nay - you will come to your senses in a day or two and thank me </p>
