I think I like the deeper pink on the far right best because you're wearing olive which plays very nicely with that shade of pink </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear/page/2#post-1173865 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 21:59:03 +0000 alice 1173865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Diana,&nbsp;I think the fuchsia looks the most obviously nice (and wow! the&nbsp;blazer looks good on you), but your first&nbsp;2 scarves are harder to judge for me because they are so small. I think the blush would require some careful attention to the type of garment, like you said to avoid looking "too nude". I once had a poor-sighted&nbsp;colleague tell me he thought I was&nbsp;topless when I was wearing a light tan-colored polo and he saw me from a distance (actually he said "a topless <i>man</i>" which was both better and worse!). But a blush accessory or topper could be really fun.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear/page/2#post-1160948 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 05:45:33 +0000 Jeanie 1160948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love you in all the&nbsp;&nbsp;pinks. &nbsp;I have to say the other day when you posted a link to your Ravelry site, I was looking through it and a pair of pale pink fingerless gloves caught my eye. &nbsp;They were such a pretty light pink and&nbsp;I thought to myself "she is so lucky to be able to wear this color". &nbsp;It looks so good with your hair. &nbsp;You will have to knit up a pretty pink sweater for Spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear/page/2#post-1160693 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 23:37:34 +0000 Deborah 1160693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you can wear each of these shades:). My fave on you is #1, so lovely and soft and flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160619 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 22:12:48 +0000 Gigi 1160619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you on the indecisiveness, Diana! I have always steered clear of pink because I didn't think it looked good on me. But I'm seeing that there is a very broad range of pinks out there, some with warmer overtones, some with cooler. Some are a washed-out pale color&nbsp;(like adding water to pink paint)&nbsp;while others are a muted pink color (adding the complement to the pink paint). So it's definitely worth a try next time you go shopping. Just grab a bunch of pink-colored stuff and see what looks good. You might be surprised and find a new favorite color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160594 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 21:50:18 +0000 Wendy45 1160594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 best on you. It doen't take the focus away from your face, but adds color. To me#1 is draining the color out of your face, and #3 steals the show a little too much. But with a different color topper you probably will get a different effect. A light tee combined with #1 shawl for example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160583 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 21:36:40 +0000 Helena 1160583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all, especially the blush, but that may be because I like the contrast of it against the charcoal shirt the best. Think you can wear them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160581 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 21:31:24 +0000 Diana 1160581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>interesting.&nbsp; Very mixed response<i></i> to the three scarf colors.&nbsp; I wonder if it's just that some people like low contrast and others high contrast?&nbsp; Although everyone seems to like the fuchsia jacket, and that's definitely high contrast.&nbsp; </p> <p>Several people mentioned they were surprised that #1 (really pale pink) worked.&nbsp; I have to say I was too!&nbsp; I'm not sure it's my <i>favorite</i> but I don't think it's at all bad.&nbsp; I can say now that the point of this exercise (for me at least) was to see if I could wear blush or really pale pink.&nbsp; I know more or less that the other pinks are OK on me.&nbsp; </p> <p>Anyway, I think you have all convinced me to at least try some blush things on.&nbsp; Una has a good point that maybe it's not the best right next to my skin but I wonder if something as simple as a gold necklace or other jewelry would work to break it up.&nbsp; Of course there is always the option of blush top + olive or grey or black scarf.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160558 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 20:57:23 +0000 MuseumGal 1160558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote is #3, 2, 1 in that order.&nbsp; I think the blush is too close to your skin tone to be as flattering as the others, - BUT if you like it, then definitely wear it and enjoy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160475 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 19:24:32 +0000 catgirl 1160475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My instant reaction is to 2 as the best. Blush is not easy and I think you could do it but maybe not right next to your skin? I have a weird attraction to it also, the only pastel I even glance at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160448 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 19:13:54 +0000 Joyce B 1160448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 3 on you. I think the pale one is too pale and does not do much for you, but that's just my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160439 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 19:11:24 +0000 Sheila 1160439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fushcia - 3rd the best. I think you would do well in this color pink as well... if you are going to do it... go big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160435 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 19:08:14 +0000 Diana 1160435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I am definitely going to go try some blush things on next time I see them in a store.&nbsp; I suspect it's going to be one of those things where it's just a subtle difference in shade that makes all the difference.</p> <p>Columbine, thanks for the reminder. I can wear coral!&nbsp; However, I'm not sure it really goes with the rest of my wardrobe.&nbsp; But I do have this dress. It works best with a tan though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160422 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 19:00:01 +0000 columbine(erin) 1160422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pale pink one and the brighter one in 3 on you. I wonder what a berry shade with more red than purple would like for you, similar to the jacket. Or maybe a coral. Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160399 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 18:45:09 +0000 Suz 1160399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was: I like the pale pink best!! It surprised me, actually. But I do. And then I read the comments. It looks as if you will be adding some blush to your wardrobe.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also love you in the fuchsia.&nbsp;</p> <p>The other pink scarves are also good, but those two really stand out.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's funny, but those are the kinds of pinks that tend to look best on me, too.&nbsp;<br />Totally different skin tones, obviously. But similar colours (in this case) seem to work. I have noticed the same thing with my daughter. She and I wear the same colours extremely well. There are some she looks better in than I do (like black and neons and some pastels). And some I look better in than she does (forest greens, taupe). But there is a huge overlap in what works best&nbsp;on us.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160370 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 18:08:59 +0000 Sarah A 1160370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fuschia jacket best then 1, 3, 2 although i think each "works" none make you look washed out or whatnot. I mock up pic is fun.... I have a hard time with the nude top look but i dont know this color would read nude IRL. Maybe next time your out shopping try some fitting room shots (not sure what to do with the artificial lighting though) of various pinks? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160365 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 18:03:16 +0000 Diana 1160365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh, I think I just realized something.&nbsp; I can wear the light pink these days because I have really bold specs that add some depth and keep my face from getting lost next to the lower contrast light pink.&nbsp; I am kind of thinking I need to learn to use eyebrow pencil though!&nbsp; (I sadly inherited my mom's patchy, sparse brows instead of my dad's thick dark ones.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160362 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:58:59 +0000 AviaMariah 1160362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all but the lighter the better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160360 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:58:20 +0000 Amy 1160360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the middle shade the best on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160351 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:48:03 +0000 Angie 1160351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>Ahem</i>. <b>Told you</b>, you could wear pastels and look fab in them, Diana. I'm not the only one who loves you in that pale shade of pink. Looks great with your black hair, and brings out the pink in those cute little cheeks I want to pinch.&nbsp;</p> <p>YES. Love the purple-pink of the jacket. Fuschia is fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160346 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:43:51 +0000 Diana 1160346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sona, maybe that could be my wild card purchase for the season.&nbsp; I think pretty much everything I've bought in the last few months has been either really practical, really within my comfort zone, or both.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160344 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:39:25 +0000 Peri 1160344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first pale pink scarf and he fushia jacket the best. The other scarves are good too but I don't think the blush tones of the polyvore do a lot for you. They look a little washed out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160342 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:38:12 +0000 kkards 1160342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for what its worth, i like them all, but in order of preference 3,2,1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160338 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:36:12 +0000 Sona 1160338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think blushy nude would look marvelous against your skin tone Diana! It works for me. How about trying a non spendy piece from say h and m to at least experiment with?</p> <p>worth a shot.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160335 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:34:08 +0000 Diana 1160335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean about it not being "perky" though.&nbsp; Personally I worry it looks <i>nude.</i>&nbsp; I mean, nude shoes are one thing but nude top?&nbsp; Not so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160334 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:34:04 +0000 anonners 1160334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pinks looks great on all year-round! &nbsp;I'm all about it for both the pale or bronzed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160327 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:29:32 +0000 Diana 1160327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, I have never worn blush (the makeup item, not the color) in my life.&nbsp; I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it not look clownish.&nbsp; The thing is that <i>I don't blush</i>.&nbsp; Ever.&nbsp; My face will get hot but my cheeks don't change colors when I'm embarrassed.&nbsp; So putting color on my cheeks seems really odd to me. </p> <p>ETA: should amend that.&nbsp; On occasion, my entire face does get flushed if it's really hot or I've been working out or something.&nbsp; But there is no emphasis on the cheeks.&nbsp; And I feel embarrassment in my ears, not my face.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160324 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:25:24 +0000 rachylou 1160324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #3 best. #2 is fine, but is a bit too much of a grunge colour scheme for my tastes. I actually like the blush on you, but the effect isn't exactly perky... you could wear real gel blush to perk things up, but then I'm not sure I'd like that personally. I like the "serious sophistication." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160315 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:09:17 +0000 Diana 1160315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, trying one more thing with my face and the blush things from today's blog post.&nbsp; I am weirdly attracted to them but I wonder if this particular shade of blush (kind of muddy and slightly golden toned) is too close to my skin tone.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pinks-can-i-wear#post-1160313 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:07:01 +0000 kellygirl 1160313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm quite surprised that I like the light pink the best of the three scarves. I adore that fuschia jacket on you too. It's funny because growing up, my mom always told me to stick to&nbsp;jewel tones (as being best on Asians in general) but I never liked them on myself. I think the deep pinks look better on my mom because she is slightly darker than me. Idk. Kind of bad when it comes to color. Personally, I like peony.&nbsp; </p>
