And those nude shoes are devine. You look great. And you can most definitely wear that color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614690 Tue, 08 May 2012 03:47:51 +0000 christy 614690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coral is really stunning on you!

Those shoes! Love those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614632 Tue, 08 May 2012 03:04:35 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 614632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the nice words.</p> <p>I am a tried and true winter. I will have to look at the color swatches again and see if the coral tones are included. I think Beth Anne has it right and the shade has enough pink in it to work. Fuchsia is probably my best color so it makes sense that a color with pinks could work.</p> <p>I should have added my turquoise necklace to the outfits. Oh well. Perhaps I will remember next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614627 Tue, 08 May 2012 02:57:57 +0000 ManidipaM 614627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, lovely, lovely! You wear coral with the best of them, Dianthus. And that dress is so very flatteringly draped. </p> <p>The turtle outfit is so serene. Love the tonal dressing, love the proportions and the softening of the pencil-skirted secretary silhouette with blouse and cardi. Mad Men remixed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614607 Tue, 08 May 2012 02:40:33 +0000 velvetychocolate 614607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the coral/orange on you, and I think Claire's onto something here - you look amazing in this colour, and I can't help but wonder if maybe warmer colours might be better than you think? If you flip back and forth between the orange/coral and the greys/blues - you might see it too. The coral/orange is spectacular on you. </p> <p>In any case, you look fabulous in all three outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614554 Tue, 08 May 2012 01:53:50 +0000 Anonymous 614554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of these are stellar outfits Dianthus! I love your new coral dress. The brown belt brings in the color of your hair nicely, even after/if you remove the jacket. Your "turtle" outfit is beautifully composed as well. You are looking really good lately!</p> <p>I don't mean to drop a huge bomb on you, but I think you may have warm coloring! Look at how your complexion is lit up with the first outfit compared to the second (which would look better on me than the coral). That's what I see, anyway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614540 Tue, 08 May 2012 01:43:52 +0000 Beth Ann 614540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing! Compltely! The coral color is working quite well for you -- it may be working because it's got a little less yellow than some oranges. The silhouette of the dress is beautiful and incredibly flattering. The second outfit is expert tonal dress and the silhouette is again very flattering and pleasing to the eye -- love the shoes, too!</p> <p>Home Run for You! I putting both of these in my "favorites!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614467 Tue, 08 May 2012 00:18:39 +0000 soobee 614467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what a lovely, shapely dress - you look so sexy in it.

With your skin and hair color, you look like an autumn, which is perfect for orange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614433 Mon, 07 May 2012 23:32:23 +0000 Victoria 614433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both your outfits-and this is not orange but bright coral definately. I didn't think I could wear orange either but I always get compliments when I do so go figure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614412 Mon, 07 May 2012 22:30:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 614412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yippeee - the dress is back! This looks fantastic on you Dianthus! And I love it with the brown leather over top. Absolutely stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614406 Mon, 07 May 2012 22:25:18 +0000 christieanne 614406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can wear coral/orange!

I love your inspiration outfit too. The colors of the sheer cardi, the pearls, and the shoes are beautiful together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614386 Mon, 07 May 2012 21:58:17 +0000 Meredith1953 614386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in orange! Why did you think you can't wear it? I love both outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---i-wore-orange-but-call-it-coral#post-614384 Mon, 07 May 2012 21:54:59 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 614384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always thought I could not wear orange. I tried on this dress just to show the sales clerk that it wouldn't work and then ended up buying it a few weeks later. I picked it up from alterations and the seamstress referred to it as orange. I was thinking no, its not orange - I don't wear orange but when I looked at it hanging there I saw that it is pretty orange.</p> <p>Anyway, I put my faux leather brown jacket over it because it was cold and wet out today.</p> <p>I am also adding the pic I took Friday for the last day or the challenge. I didn't have a chance to post on the thread but wanted to anyway. It was the turtle inspiration pic and I went with greys and lavenders and added the pearls to mimic the turtles in the water. </p>
