The berry thing definitely started as aspirational; I found the tonal matching pieces in one of Angie’s posts just magical and very sophisticated, so decided I wanted a wardrobe that supports that. I think I could dress head-to-toe in those shades now, but I don’t. I feel like going back and doing the numbers on my WIWs from this year. Think I something berry in most but not all. Cranberry and blackberry are the two berry colors I have most of. </p> <p>Cindysmith and Jessikams, oh the hot pink! It almost deserves its own category, the way it sells itself as “FUN” and not too girly at all until it’s in the closet. I think the cantaloupe color is different, because I think it actually looks good on me. (Does it?) </p> <p>Runcarla, yes, cantaloupe. But I don’t like that melon like I like the color. I bet grey-blue would look amazing with your hair. </p> <p>Angie, the knit tank top is the “sweater”. </p> <p>La Ped, I wonder if there’s a message you get from those colors that seems related to working out, like maybe that they are more energizing </p> <p>Thanks, RobinF &amp; nemosmom. There is def a hint of pink going on in some of these. But it’s mostly dusty pink like cs mentions, and dusty is another category I don’t really do. At least I don’t think I do. </p> <p>Kate, funny that your lurker capsule is the same color as mine. I wonder if there a meaning we attach to this color the bubblegum has one I’m not sure what that would be, but do note that these are all summery items. I think the shade works best against my skin, no other color inbetween. I tried a white at with the jumpsuit, decided I’d rather put it away until we are in warm temps again. </p> <p>PaulaF, hi 5, color twin! But I don’t have those other colors in my home—I match the wallpaper, lol.</p> <p>Firecracker, wut? Lol. </p> <p>RL in orange? Why not! </p> <p>JAileen, have you always had the pale pink? It’s slowly been growing on me for the past few years; I consider it a relative of the berries. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145970 Sat, 26 Sep 2020 09:57:07 +0000 Jessikams 2145970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love shocking hot pink but it looks godawful on me. Still it sometimes sneaks into my closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145969 Sat, 26 Sep 2020 09:09:34 +0000 cindysmith 2145969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often find shocking pinks trying to creep in and breed a capsule in my wardrobe. I once found myself with a pair of electric bubblegum pink silk trousers that went perfectly with a button-up shirt that had electric green and electric bubblegum pink stripes. Fuschia pinks, bubblegum pinks, hot pinks...<br /> I don't mind pinks, but I prefer the ones that are more subtle: blush, pastel, and dusty pinks weave seamlessly into the fabric of my wardrobe. Electric, hot, and bubblegum pinks stand out like a big red flashing neon sign </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145893 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 18:51:31 +0000 Kate 2145893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apparently I have! </p> <p>I nodded my head in agreement when I read about your surprise capsule, FI. Somehow I ended up with an inadvertent capsule of pinkish-coral items. And I don’t like or wear—at least up until recently—either pink or coral! It was a pair of summer cropped trousers bought as a lark a couple of years ago that started my walk on the wild side. Now I have a top, skirt and birkies (the skirt and sandals bought this summer) in that pinkish-coral color. All are summer items, and I think that’s key, since I seem to be more willing to deviate from the neutrals I normally wear when it’s so stinking hot. Or maybe the heat just addles my brain and I forget what I’m buying! Plus the fact that this color also plays nicely with my other color crush, lilac, which I love and do wear in all seasons, though more often in summer. Lilac, and pinkish-coral with lashings of black is a favorite summer combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145866 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 16:09:13 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2145866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.homesteaddreamer.com/2015/07/20/what-the-heck-is-a-salmonberry/">Salmonberries</a>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145855 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 15:11:52 +0000 Angie 2145855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Corals, salmons and peaches! Cousins to orange :)</p> <p>The jacket might look cute over the jumpsuit. I don't see the sweater you are referring to? Maybe I need mote tea....</p> <p>I can't think of any colour that slips into my style by accident at this point. My palette - although abundant - is very deliberate and controlled. </p> <p>Years ago, I used to say I don't wear earth tones. But had to eat my words because I do! I add brights and blues to them though.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145854 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 15:10:27 +0000 rachylou 2145854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quite lovely! </p> <p>I can’t say a colour has ever snuck into my wardrobe... but I went through this whole thing where I purged all the orange in my closet... or so I thought. Reality is I have my seven orange Target Victoria Beckham mini skirts for the bakery, lololol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145847 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 14:21:26 +0000 JAileen 2145847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have quite a lot of pale pink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145846 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 14:20:00 +0000 anchie 2145846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You often mention that you like berries, but to be honest, if you haven’t said that I would never think that because I just don’t see it in your outfits. Is it maybe more aspirational for you, or am I missing something? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145842 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 13:56:03 +0000 Carla 2145842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cantaloupe! &nbsp;Angie posted a pair of shoes this colour in her blog post on high tops, &nbsp;They were my favourite shoes of the bunch, but I don’t have anything that colour. &nbsp;Pale grey-blue slips into my closet inadvertently. &nbsp;I don’t shop for blue clothes (other than jeans), but have managed to acquire a sweater in this colour and a greyed pale blue features in some of the patterned clothing I own. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145839 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 13:43:09 +0000 PaulaF 2145839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are pretty, <b>Fashintern</b>! Sounds like we’re in the same color boat. Coral/salmon are the only oranges I can wear, too—they have to be very much on the pink side. And even then I can get away with them only in small doses in prints, not as solid tops. My complexion is VERY cool.</p> <p>I love these warm colors that don’t look good on me, though! My home is full of them (helps counteract the cool, shady northern exposure where most of my windows are).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145835 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 13:12:04 +0000 nemosmom 2145835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all seem to have just a touch more pink than orange - I can see them working for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145833 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 12:53:17 +0000 RobinF 2145833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice capsule - you're right, it all goes together beautifully.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145829 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 12:47:16 +0000 LaPed 2145829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, it's pink and purple gear. Try as a I might to keep my gear palette black/olive/navy like my everyday clothes, the pink and purple keep sneaking in.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like that button-front shirt. Reminds me of watermelon, which seems berry-adjacent to me. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surprise-capsule#post-2145817 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 10:29:33 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2145817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>We all know my colors, right? I wear berries. Blueberry, boysenberry, raspberry, blackberry, cranberry, berry berry berry. And along with them I wear blues, greens, pale pink and black &amp; white, with very occasional browns.&nbsp; All very organic, found in nature and at the local u-pick. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Colors I don't wear: tomato red, orange, yellow, anything orange adjacent. So what is this I found in my closet? The craziest part is how consistently salmon/coral these things all are . Some are lighter, some are darker, but it's all on the same continuum. (The sweater is a bit sweeter than the rest, but I let it slide in).<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Have you ever had a color sneak into your closet?<br /></div> </p>
