Isn't it caramel or camel? Oatmeal is much lighter.&nbsp;</p> <p>Personally, I think the length is too long for your petite height, Debs. I'm glad that it did not follow you home in black either.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276312 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:46:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1276312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sister wouldn't have been polite either Deb - lol!</p> <p>I actually don't mind the color completely but I honestly don't see you wearing it. A true taupe would work brilliantly on you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276305 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 13:43:01 +0000 jackiec 1276305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG too funny about your sister! And LOL at Anna's comment. Made me laugh b/c I always LOVE oatmeal! Similar to lyn67. Maybe I need to rethink my love... hahaha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276267 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 12:52:51 +0000 lyn67 1276267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, Debs, I feel your pain! It's a great piece! :-(</p> <p>I just &nbsp;wanted to add, I always fall in the same trap with taupe,&nbsp;for something! being blonde I like taupe, but it took me a while to understand/accept that's only tue&nbsp;for bookending teqniques, some&nbsp;bottoms, &nbsp;some prints, a pop of color(like shoes, bags, or other accessories), or a layering piece, the smaller the better, or obligatory broken up with other colors&nbsp;nearby my face....so no more cardis for me, esp not so long and overhelming my own delicate coloring and lack of contrast.</p> <p>ETA: sis was probably right:-).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276261 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 12:46:00 +0000 amiable 1276261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you - it's not the right color. &nbsp;I think it's too warm, and in the first pic, it looks like it washes you out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276190 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 09:49:28 +0000 Karie 1276190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made the right choice walking away. On my screen it is more of a blah oatmeal shade and it does wash you out a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276188 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 09:37:35 +0000 jenanded 1276188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Naaah... there are more drapy things in your colour out there for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276163 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 07:26:45 +0000 ElleH 1276163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On my ipad it is a nice warm camel colour, not beige. What colours usually suit you, besides black &amp; grey? If they are not warm colours then this probably won't work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276105 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 04:22:39 +0000 Adelfa 1276105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276076 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 03:24:27 +0000 Jules 1276076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not you. The colour doesn't have enough drama so it looks like loungewear to me. Keep walking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276075 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 03:22:57 +0000 Sveta 1276075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are right to walk away. Awesome shape and drape but the color is not there... If it was richer camel it may have worked better but this one is hard to pull off&nbsp;&nbsp;for the most of us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276067 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 03:14:56 +0000 Deborah 1276067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Missed, wise words thank you. I actually don't like brown at all. Clearly I'm in denial over the colour lol ... I'm walking away x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276060 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 03:09:15 +0000 Missey 1276060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you love it, bring it home and try it with your wardrobe.&nbsp; I think it is a deep enough beige/brown to be flattering without washing you out, but will you wear it?&nbsp; You seem like a very balck and white gal, and it suits you!&nbsp; Are you ready to venture into some browns? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276059 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 03:09:11 +0000 Anonymous 1276059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a nice rich camel to me. It is supposed to be A great neutral to wear with pastels, you don't wear pastels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276057 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 03:08:24 +0000 Aida 1276057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We can always count on sisters for that eh? My sis is also very "to the point" about her (excellent) fashion advice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276053 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 03:07:03 +0000 Deborah 1276053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aida:). I get it. I sent my sister a pic and she is not as polite as the YLF community;). Her words were turn around now and walk away...fast lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276047 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 03:00:20 +0000 Aida 1276047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oatmeal is kind of a soul-sucking beige color, a nice "safe" brown. I see it as a richer brown than the standard oatmeal on my screen, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276045 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 02:57:55 +0000 Deborah 1276045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So is oatmeal a "bad" colour? </p> <p>Joy if it was black if would be in my bag and I wld be on my way home lol. It's the colour giving me pause! I've never thought I could wear this colour;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276038 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 02:53:08 +0000 Aida 1276038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, good point Anna </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276034 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 02:49:40 +0000 annagybe 1276034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oatmeal. Nice drape and shape, but still oatmeal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276024 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 02:44:13 +0000 Anonymous 1276024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color looks sophisticated with your black and white and great with your hair. But maybe this is not the way that you want your style to evolve? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276014 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 02:39:37 +0000 Aida 1276014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm I can't truly tell on the color but it looks nice on my screen. Could be a good soft but rich neutral to pair with all of your blacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-shopping-option-two#post-1276003 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 02:34:42 +0000 Deborah 1276003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous long knit kimono style cardigan. Love it but always shy from this colour. Want it to work but don't think it does. </p> <p>Should I walk away?</p> <p>xxxDeborah </p>
