I know that I need to stay away from beige but apparently need an occasional reminder :)</p> <p>Traci, I did and it is lovely, but I already have a couple of black vests and do not need more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-630060 Sun, 27 May 2012 16:10:49 +0000 Traci 630060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you see this vest?<br /> <a href="http://www.jjill.com/jjillonline/product/itempage.aspx?item=IH014FP&#038;BID=273397185&#038;h=P&#038;sk=P&#038;pfid=0&#038;a=U&#038;ln=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.jjill.com/jjillonli.....&#038;ln=1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-630038 Sun, 27 May 2012 15:46:49 +0000 Suz 630038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh. Commiserating. I have similar colouring, as you know. And I can't tell you how often I WISH I could wear beige. But Angie's spot on...the only kind I can wear successfully is a pinkish one. </p> <p>I really like that vest and think it would have been a fab addition to your wardrobe for summer. I like the structuring possibilities with a vest - sort of like a summer jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-630011 Sun, 27 May 2012 13:57:14 +0000 goldenpig 630011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to tell without seeing you in it. </p> <p>These comments make me wonder--who looks good in beige? Does anyone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-630001 Sun, 27 May 2012 13:28:49 +0000 Anonymous 630001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya -- I agree with your final decision. There have been many times this past season that I fell in love with a garment only to realize that the color was terrible for me. I left the garment in the store. Why purchase another closet orphan because that is what it would become. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629823 Sun, 27 May 2012 02:02:12 +0000 Janet 629823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I wonder... If you're wearing it with a top in a flattering color, wouldn't that be enough to make the color work for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629756 Sun, 27 May 2012 00:05:20 +0000 JennyAnne 629756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer. It's so hard to tell with those beigey colors wtihout seeing them in person. I'm the same way with soul-sucking beige. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629742 Sat, 26 May 2012 23:50:11 +0000 Tanya 629742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much! It does not come in any other colors, I wish it came in olive. I will pass, even at best the color is only going to be passable on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629607 Sat, 26 May 2012 19:18:11 +0000 Kari 629607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, my worry is that it looks like a very cool color and that it might be too close to your skin and hair tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629606 Sat, 26 May 2012 19:17:48 +0000 Meredith1953 629606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The style is wonderful! Does it come in other colors? I have also been avoiding the "soul sucker". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629595 Sat, 26 May 2012 19:10:31 +0000 Makrame 629595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, I ordered that vest a couple of days ago (haven't received it yet) and the thought of it being soul-sucking beige did not even cross my mind (I was worried more that it might turn out to be shapeless). Because of the sale and free shipping, I decided to order a bunch of stuff and return everything that does not work out.</p> <p>I think my take on the color was more "stone", like Claire's. Did not think of it as beige. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629537 Sat, 26 May 2012 18:15:40 +0000 Jjsloane 629537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the style and the idea of it, but the color just not looking hopeful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629517 Sat, 26 May 2012 17:55:41 +0000 Diana 629517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm afraid it may be soul-sucking... sorry. It's looking rather ashy on my monitor, which in my opinion is the hardest beige to wear. </p> <p>As an aside, who actually looks good in SSB? My coloring is very different from yours and I look like death in it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629504 Sat, 26 May 2012 17:46:05 +0000 Angie 629504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure. Worried that it' is not pink enough, Tanya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629501 Sat, 26 May 2012 17:43:20 +0000 Astrid 629501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the style, but I'm also hesitant about the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629497 Sat, 26 May 2012 17:37:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 629497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the style of the vest but the colour is giving me pause. There are so many different shades of beige it's really hard to tell until you see it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629467 Sat, 26 May 2012 17:09:33 +0000 Vicki 629467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a really cute vest, Tanya. Does it come in any other colors? I have the same coloring as you, I think, and I have to be careful with beige so that it doesn't wash me out. Perhaps the darker color underneath will equalize things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629463 Sat, 26 May 2012 17:07:47 +0000 Scarlet 629463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not always against beige, but this one is setting off danger signals. It is just so close to skin tone, but, you know, deader. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629431 Sat, 26 May 2012 16:15:09 +0000 texstyle 629431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd keep looking for a better color - I've seen that one too at jjill but passed. I'm also blonde, not as light maybe but I find that the beige items and lighter grey items seem to sit in my closet too much. Have you tried looking at a large view on your computer monitor and bringing a mirror over to see your face at the same time? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629426 Sat, 26 May 2012 16:06:57 +0000 Anonymous 629426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks like a light *stone* to me, and it just might work. You might want to wear color under it though, not white like the model has on. That looks like a super summer vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/soul-sucking-beige-or-not#post-629423 Sat, 26 May 2012 16:02:17 +0000 Tanya 629423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am about to get that wine silk tunic Traci found at J Jill and wondering about this vest. Love everything about it other than the color. I am a very pale ( typical Summer) blonde and beige is my worst color. Not sure if this color is more of a light grey or beige. Thoughts? </p>
