And beige outerwear is often a trench coat which is totally not my thing. Better an inexpensive sweater. ;)</p> <p>Thanks Sara! I knew it would work out with the shrinking from the past, otherwise I might have been nervous. It's still a relaxed fit of course, but just a tad more formfitting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return/page/2#post-1629190 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 15:57:21 +0000 Sara L. 1629190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good on you.&nbsp; I like beige on others - I find it very elegant.&nbsp; Unfortunately, I look like death in beige and avoid it all costs.&nbsp; I'm glad it shrunk to the right size and you now have&nbsp;a light neutral to play with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return/page/2#post-1629141 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 13:41:54 +0000 Nancy's fashion Style 1629141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a fan of beige as a sweater. As a coat yes, I think you can wear it , but perhaps a rose/red scarf with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return/page/2#post-1629138 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 13:24:09 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1629138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look beautiful. It *is low-contrast but I can't figure out why it works so well for you. You look lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return/page/2#post-1629126 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 12:47:22 +0000 Glory 1629126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this thread but I really like this colour for you.

This one also shrunk a bit and the size is great now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return/page/2#post-1629076 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 07:39:37 +0000 Astrid 1629076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Kari. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return/page/2#post-1628908 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 20:24:55 +0000 Kari 1628908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a poison eye for beige and usually don't like taupe, so you'll appreciate that I mean it when I saw that I really like this on you. There's enough contrast with your skin tone and it's fun to see a lighter top on you. It looks marvelous with the scarf. Great fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return/page/2#post-1628783 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 15:11:58 +0000 Astrid 1628783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! It's good to hear it works better than I thought. I won't think twice about wearing it now, also without a scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return/page/2#post-1628780 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 15:06:54 +0000 Anonymous 1628780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad that you are keeping it and have a versatile light neutral for a brightener. I also like it with or without a scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return/page/2#post-1628775 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 14:36:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1628775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

I am thinking it will get a lot of wear. Glad to hear the tags are off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return#post-1628713 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 08:42:51 +0000 Deborah 1628713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you are keeping it Astrid:) &nbsp;It is stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return#post-1628711 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 08:33:46 +0000 Astrid 1628711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again, everyone.

More than JFE. I find having one or 2 of " my" light neutrals very useful for both adding variety and for versatility. What I have tried to do is be picky about which ones and about my other colors or prints so they will go with them too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return#post-1628520 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 20:12:41 +0000 Anonymous 1628520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a scarf helps immensely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return#post-1628505 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 19:33:19 +0000 MsMaven 1628505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely taupe and it looks great with the scarves. I'd like to try a similar color now that my hair is more gray, &nbsp;if I could find one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return#post-1628479 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 18:59:56 +0000 rachylou 1628479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol re.

Glad you're keeping it, it looks great. That shade of blushy-taupe is one of my favorites. Works well both with and without the scarves and especially well with the lippie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return#post-1628439 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 17:21:56 +0000 Astrid 1628439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards, thanks! I don't think I'm going to do white bottoms, though...</p> <p>Thank you Angie! And taupe-blush is a great description of the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return#post-1628436 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 17:10:02 +0000 Angie 1628436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LOVE</b></p> <p><b>AT LAST!

I *love* it so much on you, even without a scarf. But then I'm on team beige. There's a certain elegance about beige and a woman who wears it. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return#post-1628353 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 14:08:39 +0000 Astrid 1628353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colette, that sounds like a great look - I'm definitely pro uniform! Why change something that works for you? </p> <p>Thanks Nancy, cobaltblue and Mirjana! Just cut the tags off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return#post-1628352 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 14:05:59 +0000 Mirjana 1628352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like beige and taupe, yes it is difficult to style, I mean difficult color near face, but I vote to keep it, nice pullover and scarf will solve all problems if there are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return#post-1628351 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 14:05:21 +0000 cobaltblue 1628351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think it is lovely and cozy, especially with the scarves. Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-beige-a-keep-or-return#post-1628350 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 14:02:37 +0000 Mochi 1628350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it's a nice neutral color that would work great with colorful accents. I really like the shape and fit.&nbsp; </p>
