And good for you for returning what doesn't work for you. That grey moto is fun!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-amber-sun-moto#post-1029315 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:07:51 +0000 goldenpig 1029315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I returned the Amber Sun moto too, but more because it was too masculine on me. I&nbsp;bought the Halogen knit moto in black instead&nbsp;at Rae's suggestion. They make it in grey--maybe that would work for you? (If you order it, talk to Rae and she can order it for you!)<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-knit-moto-jacket-regular-petite/3522829?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=613&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_2_A">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....search-per</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-amber-sun-moto#post-1029309 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:03:56 +0000 unfrumped 1029309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules, that's true! It' s why I gave the leather a whirl since black is so prevalent in various styles ( I have a dark brown).<br /> So my leather wish list is a soft brown or warm gray or a color that reads lighter than my dark brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-amber-sun-moto#post-1029282 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:42:58 +0000 Anonymous 1029282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I agree, texture does play a big part in how light is reflected. I like the idea of burgundy and purple for you UF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-amber-sun-moto#post-1029274 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:39:41 +0000 Jules 1029274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think ponte/knit and suiting materials are particularly light-sucking. Black leather usually has a softer, matte quality that doesn't *quite* have the same effect (although if I invest in leather anytime soon I'll also be looking for a colour). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-amber-sun-moto#post-1029273 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:39:18 +0000 Joan Joplin 1029273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's how I always describe black! That's funny. I wear black, but often as an accent, or with warmer neutrals. I try not to use it as a base neutral because of the light-suckage. It can be an easy fallback, though. Good for you moving away from it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-amber-sun-moto#post-1029270 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:36:38 +0000 unfrumped 1029270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane, I will still wear black- trims, and tops under a more medium topper look good. I liked the ponte fabric &amp; it looked easy to toss on over different outfits. I also tried a Halogen black leather jacket even though I'd been avoiding black. It didn't actually fit right, but it was also more confirmation to not buy mre black toppers. Am also on the lookout for more pseudo - neutrals like burgundies and purples since my goal color palette can be sometimes challenging to combine the neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-amber-sun-moto#post-1029249 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:15:35 +0000 Anonymous 1029249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, 'cos I think of black as light-sucking too. I never ever wear it next to my face. I'm a medium tone gal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/returning-amber-sun-moto#post-1029240 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:10:51 +0000 unfrumped 1029240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm getting up my nerve to return the amber Sun black ponte moto. I decided it's too light- sucking black. I even tried the tweed version to help make a decision but it wasn't right.<br /> I want to shift to more medium tones.<br /> More shades of browns and grays for<br /> neutrals. Perhaps I aspire to be an Ent. </p>
