He bought me my all-time favourite dress too. I miss it...</p> <p>Shannon, you summed it all up so nicely: "it SOUNDS like a nice colour combination"... LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mustard-and-rust-and-pashmina#post-786362 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 21:56:34 +0000 Suz 786362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I SO hear you about the photo problem. It's really tough. </p> <p>BUT...that said, even without a true rendering of colours I can tell this is a fab outfit. How lovely of your husband to bring you the passim and RUST skinnies - YEAH! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mustard-and-rust-and-pashmina#post-786360 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 21:52:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 786360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like a fabulous colour combination JR and I hear your frustration regarding capturing good light. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mustard-and-rust-and-pashmina#post-786328 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 21:20:49 +0000 merwoman 786328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So thoughtful of DH! And you had me at mustard :-)!<br /> From what I can see the styling looks great JR - love those rust skinnies on you (you disappearing woman you!).<br /> Colour is so hard to get right in a photo - I've got a painter's light that I plug in to try to improve the colour rendering. Absolute best is outdoor shot...and that's just not practical right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mustard-and-rust-and-pashmina#post-786325 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 21:17:05 +0000 pil 786325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you lay the items themselves outside (maybe not this time of year!) or someplace where the light is better and add that to your posts along with you in the outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mustard-and-rust-and-pashmina#post-786316 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 21:11:06 +0000 JR 786316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I am seriously thinking I might just as well give up posting outfits where the colour is the interest. My camera just doesn't capture it, especially in bad light.</p> <p>My last camera spoiled me... :o( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mustard-and-rust-and-pashmina#post-786308 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 21:04:45 +0000 pil 786308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your descriptions sounded so intriguing I was looking forward to seeing the pictures at the end of the post, but the light does make it hard to see much detail. Maybe it's the light, but I have to agree with you about the dull mustard.</p> <p> How nice of your husband to bring the pashmina home for you - it sounds beautiful! Can't wait to see it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mustard-and-rust-and-pashmina#post-786256 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 20:09:21 +0000 JR 786256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I apologize again for the dull colours. It is a dull day, and the light is bad. I would love to be able to show off the muted, and yet very rich, colours of the pashmina. DH brought it home for me from Rome, and I absolutely loved it. The threads are gold, burgundy, brown, and black, and they combine in subtle and fascinating ways in the weave. The topper is a vintage, dark-brown knit jacket from my MIL which I am finding very hard to style. This is the first outfit I've found that makes it wearable. DD confirmed my fears that it was very old-ladyish, and that the only way I would get away with wearing it was by combining it with jeans, to make it clear I was wearing it "ironically" and not because I didn't realize fashion had moved on.</p> <p>So here it is with my rust skinnies. Ironic that it takes rust to achieve irony... And the not-so-loved mustard T-shirt, which I am stubbornly determined to get a last season out of. I've actually received compliments on the colour, but that was obviously from a mustard-lover. I'm moving the colour away from my face with the pashmina, of course. It's still frigid around here, so the pashmina is not just for vanity. Other than the fact that dull mustard is not my best colour, I do like it with the rust.</p> <p>I have set myself a personal challenge of not re-wearing the same outfit within a month. November was a success, and I'll stretch the variety out as long as I can without getting ridiculous, i.e. wearing some horrible combination just to avoid a repeat. </p>
