I used to use women's deodorant, then switched to women's antiperspirant, then men's antiperspirant, and now I use the Secret clinical stuff. My medical condition causes odd sweating issues. I often won't sweat sitting out in the sun, just overheat. Then hours later I can be cold and my body will finally get the message to sweat and I will just pour sweat--- which is annoying because it will look like flop sweat. I also get severe adrenaline surges, which really seems to make the sweat really strong, similar to a man's. Kinda awkward all the way around. </p> <p>Thank you all for the advice on the Raspberry--- I hate purple with a passion (I know, I am a freak amongst womankind) but I actually don't mind this shade to much. All of this talk about pairing red and purple together makes me think it would look great with skinny jeans or jeggings and a pair or red shoes or boots and some of my jewelry I posted earlier in the year. </p> <p>I plan to hand wash the tunic--- all silk (sparing dupioni) should be pre-shrunk and semi-colorfast, so if Nordstrom cut corners, they can have it back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-colors#post-225515 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 16:01:21 +0000 Scarlet 225515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope it works for you Tanya. It doesn't stain white clothes at all, but really works well against stink. I learned this from my big sis. She also brought me Certain-dry when I was freaking out before my wedding. The rest of the time, though, she is not that nice But hey, at least when it counts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-colors#post-225486 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 15:25:04 +0000 Tanya 225486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the raspberry. It is a lovely blouse!</p> <p>Scarlet, thank you very much for the info on the Old Spice deodorant. I am always on a lookout for a better one and will give that one a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-colors#post-225470 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 15:10:15 +0000 Beth 225470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>elly, I don't remember your photo, but from your description of your coloring, I think the raspberry would be lovely.</p> <p>Sparky, you're right: it is the Bellatrix one-pocket tunic~ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-colors#post-225464 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 15:06:00 +0000 Angie 225464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can *just* remember your colouring from a fast picture you posted recently, elly. Thumbs up from me on the colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-colors#post-225417 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 10:47:10 +0000 Sparky 225417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't get your link to work but from Scarlet's description of the color options, I am pretty sure it's the Bellatrix One Pocket Silk Tunic. If so, I've tried this tunic and ended up with the olive. It's more of a cool and muted shade, so it works for me (summer). I'd say you're right to pass on it. I agree with Scarlet that the raspberry would be your best option. The white is very, very sheer ~ too sheer for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-colors#post-225407 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 08:50:48 +0000 Scarlet 225407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good, then I can proselytize to you about the wonders of Old Spice deodorant. The blue kind that contains no anti-perspirant. Totally changed my relationship to white clothing. I find that anti-perspirant really only helps me sweat less when I don't use it everyday, so I save that for special (nervous-making) occasions. Old Spice is amazingly effective against B.O.</p> <p>I don't have a good idea of what you look like, but by your description I would say the raspberry would be the best color. The green would be passable but unexciting, and the "coffee" would be terrible. Though I could be wrong about that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-colors#post-225382 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 05:16:35 +0000 Elly 225382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope-- not into white-- it also looks a bit transparent in the pic. Honestly, my thing against white is a practical problem-- I will admit to having a huge pit stain issue with white garments, and i don't think the silk would take scrubbing well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-colors#post-225381 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 05:12:11 +0000 Scarlet 225381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I take it you are not into white? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tunic-colors#post-225378 Sun, 03 Oct 2010 05:02:27 +0000 Elly 225378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking through Nordstrom this evening and saw this tunic--http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3076717?origin=keywordsearch&amp;resultback=2475#reviewAnchor.</p> <p>I love everything about it except perhaps the colors. Would any of these suit a deep autumn with very fair olive skin and medium dark brown hair and eyes? I generally look best in very saturated colors-- I love olive but usually pick a brighter shade (with more gold).</p> <p>I think this is perfect for the "big shirt" look. </p>
