I really like the idea of robins' egg blue, yellow, and pink. I've put togther a little pinterest board and will be looking for just the right pieces to fill out my little capsule. The colours are a little spring-y, but I'm okay with that.</p> <p><a href="http://pinterest.com/emkatejay/cream-grey-robins-egg/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/emkatejay.....obins-egg/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789913 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 17:47:13 +0000 kkards 789913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i treat cream as white, and i wear it with everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789865 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 17:02:38 +0000 ManidipaM 789865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a blue-toned red, how about burgundy? I also like plum with these. And tan or camel for warmth that's not too florid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789772 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:33:12 +0000 Kat 789772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think for a cool color (since you said creme is not best for your skin-tone), adding purples to creme would look lovely with warm toned hair and cool skin as well as blending with your greys and blacks, cool blues would look lovely as well. I love the idea of the fuschia and the navy, really, the possibilities are endless. And of course, a scarf incorporating some combo of these colors may be just what you need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789537 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 03:20:14 +0000 JR 789537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily, I think with your colouring, rust would be a natural. Try some on some time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789403 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 00:36:26 +0000 Anonymous 789403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alas, mine is an 8. All you S and XS people on the forum :)</p> <p>I really look forward to seeing what you come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789393 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 00:23:07 +0000 Emily 789393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit: I had not thought of fuschia, but now it is all I can think about... Citron is a great idea, too. (btw my chevron top is a 2, but sometimes when I eat too many burritos I think I should have bought the 4)</p> <p>Suz: Great ideas - I can def. see a cooler toned Taupe or Denim jacket over both cream tops. </p> <p>JR: As I was looking at these clothes earlier today I thought, "I need a magic scarf like JRs to pull these looks together!" Rust scares me a bit, to be honest... I might have a poison eye for warm reds and oranges. :S</p> <p>Carole: Cool Red/Citron are definitely on the table, and I agree that a pop of colour would be nice.</p> <p>Rachylou: Yes! How did I not think of houndstooth? My sugar eye almost talked me in to a houndstooth jacket at H&amp;M today... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789318 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 23:10:21 +0000 rachylou 789318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Houndstooth! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789312 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 23:03:37 +0000 Carole 789312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me I would pick some form of red that is flattering for your skin tone, but I like the idea of citron (if that's a color that will work for you) it would look so fab with these colors. Taupe would look rich but it seems that you could use a little pop with these basic colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789303 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 22:47:19 +0000 JR 789303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I immediately think rust, which would be a real winner with your hair.</p> <p>Or you could buy a red skirt... ;o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789250 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:39:54 +0000 Suz 789250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love it with taupe! </p> <p>Agree with Ceit about other possible colours with it. Denim blue and other blues are also great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789200 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:11:54 +0000 Anonymous 789200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Navy looks nice with grey and cream. Also fuchsia, citron and other jewel tones. I also quite like rust with grey and cream. What size is your chevron top? I have one that is an orphan, I should send it to you if it will fit you! -- it's in the citrony yellow colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-help-please-cream-grey-black-capsule#post-789180 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 20:51:52 +0000 Emily 789180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the rich, warm look of cream, but am on the fence about wearing it. I know it is not the best colour for my skin tone (cool) but I like it with my hair colour (warm). Since that is two points in favour of cream for me and one against, I have a handful of cream items in my wardrobe....</p> <p>In pic #2, 3 cream tops, from left to right -<br /> 1. Banana Republic Open Cardigan<br /> 2. Cleo V Neck Knit Top<br /> 3. Banana Republic Chevron Lace Top (with gold zipper up the back - gorgeous! This is not a great pic, it is similar in colour to the other two tops)</p> <p>I love the pieces on their own, but they are nearly orphaned because I have a hard time coming up with cream combinations other than:<br /> Cream Top + Grey Bottoms + Black Cardigan or Jacket. </p> <p>The cream cardigan is a whole other challenge. I have worn it with the Grey pinstriped button down shirt (in #1) to work, but the sleeves of the shirt are a touch too bulky to lay nicely under the cardigan. It usually gets worn with a neutral top and jeans.</p> <p>My usual supporting players for cream are in pic #1.</p> <p>So, creative and stylish denizens of YouLookFab, I have some questions for you...</p> <p>1. How would you style these pieces?<br /> 2. What would you add?<br /> 3. What accent colours go with grey and cream? </p>
