I'm starting to like a nice, bright navy these days, and I'll add cream pops of color, but that's about it (my salmon pink being an elusive critter). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-new-colors-for-spring/page/2#post-1163332 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:10:09 +0000 Deborah 1163332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coral is one of the few colours I do wear occasionally. &nbsp;Im not sure if I am correct but I have seen very few people it doesn't seem to flatter. &nbsp;I must admit there are no colours calling my name at the moment. But I am always on the lookout. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-new-colors-for-spring/page/2#post-1163317 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 08:00:14 +0000 Gigi 1163317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shemarie, here's hoping that radiant orchid comes through to the masses! If I remember right, last year the Pantone Color of the Year was some kind of green and never made it through to retail. So many people on the forum (myself included!) are looking forward to orchid.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-new-colors-for-spring/page/2#post-1163277 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 05:31:54 +0000 shemarie 1163277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun question! Being very low-contrast and fair in my coloring, I sadly won't be trying any blush or other pastels, except maybe in a purse or accessory. Maybe a dusty powder or cornflower type blue or dusty lavender, but I'm not sure if that's part of the trend or not, so shall wait to see.&nbsp; I already own a fair bit of coral, but am very excited that "radiant orchid" is the color for spring. It&nbsp;is one of the few brights I can actually wear and it hasn't been popular or widely available for a very long time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-new-colors-for-spring/page/2#post-1163127 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 02:54:42 +0000 Greyscale 1163127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking of adding a blush neutral, though it would be a big step away from my monochrome wardrobe.

I bought a&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1000512&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=941354112">lavender top</a>&nbsp;(1),&nbsp;and found that it goes well with a few scarves that have&nbsp;green and purple in them. I remember how much I enjoyed wearing lavender with mint in the '80s, but that might be pastel overload these days. Inspired by the styling with colorful skinny belts on the GAP models (2)&nbsp;I also got a skinny <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jcpenney.com/jewelry-watches/fashion-silver-jewelry-accessories/sale/jcp%25e2%2584%25a2-leather-skinny-belt/prod.jump?ppId=pp5002720077&amp;cmvc=JCP|SearchResults|RICHREL&amp;grView=&amp;eventRootCatId=&amp;currentTabCatId=&amp;regId=">magenta belt</a>&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;(and I think these are the same skinny belts rebranded for JCP or the GAP).&nbsp;I wore this out of the store.&nbsp;</p> <p>At JCP I found a&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jcpenney.com/pullovers/worthington-chunky-crewneck-sweater/prod.jump?ppId=pp5002990281&amp;N=4294963944%204294964228&amp;searchTerm=worthington&amp;topDim=Item+Type&amp;topDimvalue=pullover&amp;dimCombo=Item+Type%7CProduct+Type%7C&amp;dimComboVal=pullover%7Csweaters%7C&amp;currentDim=Product+Type&amp;currentDimVal=sweaters&amp;catId=SearchResults&amp;colorizedImg=DP0710201317100629M.tif">citron sweater</a>&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jcpenney.com/women/clearance/handbags-accessories-/arizona-enamel-buckle-leather-belt/prod.jump?ppId=pp5002460862&amp;N=1404&amp;searchTerm=belt&amp;topDim=Color&amp;topDimvalue=greens&amp;dimCombo=Color%7C&amp;dimComboVal=greens%7C&amp;currentDim=Color&amp;currentDimVal=greens&amp;catId=SearchResults&amp;colorizedImg=DP0321201319003309C.tif">belt</a>&nbsp;(5).

Although I'm not crazy about pinks in general, I found out in doing a color analysis in a book that I can wear a muted magenta color--kind of like a fuchsia but more purpley. Maybe I can find something like that. I have a top in workout gear that color but no "real" clothes in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-new-colors-for-spring#post-1162300 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 04:20:52 +0000 rabbit 1162300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is 'radiant orchid' in it's brighter incarnation&nbsp;'posh purple neon?'

I'm a deep autumn so I tend to wear warmer brights like red, bright orange, and yellow in summer. I have a tangerine handbag on order. You all have piqued my interest in coral, too. It's close enough to orange that it might work for me. I'm definitely planning to add more bright pink. I love pink. I have some inspiration pics of pink with blue, and there's a bubblegum pink handbag in my online shopping cart. My wildcard will likely be something in powder blue. I'm thinking an accessory is the way to go. I saw a pale blue snake clutch that I may exchange my fuchsia version for if it's still available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-new-colors-for-spring#post-1162263 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 03:40:31 +0000 karymk 1162263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really think that any color you are wildly attracted to is YOUR color. &nbsp;Who cares if it is the most flattering on you or not. If you love it, if it gives you a joie de vivre, if it puts a spring in your step or shocks you with a&nbsp;&nbsp;jolt of joy, IT'S YOUR COLOR!!!! Do I hear an AMEN?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-new-colors-for-spring#post-1162242 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 03:23:26 +0000 unfrumped 1162242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely some version of the so called orchid. But that's a type of color I've always worn.<br /> The new thing I may try is in the blue family. Sort of a medium denim but not in denim. Like the color that is sometimes seen as a tencil shirt. Mixing with black and gray and camel and white. I was never a blue person before, but as my hair color " cools" a bit I think there are a few such colors that would give a fresh look and a change from all the pinky colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-new-colors-for-spring#post-1162216 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 03:02:56 +0000 Anonymous 1162216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Orchid may be worth a try!

Maybe if you see some orchid you could try it out.
