And I’m also feeling the pull of chocolate brown. Never occurred to me to think of it as a food based palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing/page/2#post-1933401 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 00:06:47 +0000 Aida 1933401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack I love the term "Palewave"! LOVE your version, esp. with the shiny silver accents. These dusty shades here look super on you, I vote wear away! I also enjoy pale shades but in much more saturated/not-so-dusty tones in a palette I tend to think of as "Gelato" -- those same pale colors dialed up in yummy creamy shades you'd find at a gelato stand ^^ Basically as close to mid-tone you can get without actually being mid-tone and still a pastel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing/page/2#post-1933092 Sun, 01 Jul 2018 18:14:44 +0000 CocoLion 1933092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 outfit is fantastic, exactly what I'm doing this season. &nbsp;The pastels are great for your complexion and hair color. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing/page/2#post-1933089 Sun, 01 Jul 2018 18:05:11 +0000 3style 1933089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Runcarla, I totally missed that transitional mourning clothing aspect of fashion on Downton Abbey, and I’ve watched it twice. I just thought lilac was the trendy color for that particular season. Oops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1933044 Sun, 01 Jul 2018 10:53:35 +0000 Liesbeth 1933044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ride that ‘palewave’! I think head to toe pastels only look good on blondes with fair skin, so enjoy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1933031 Sun, 01 Jul 2018 10:05:20 +0000 Mainelady 1933031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pale colors on you and don’t think you look washed out at all. You have a nice tan and that will be enough to keep you from looking colorless with your white hair, which is AMAZING!!<br /> You are right that life is too short to not enjoy your clothes. Wear what you want and have fun. Good luck with the heat........if due to perimenopause, certain foods can make the heat worse. Coffee did that to me, which was really disappointing, because I like my coffee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932905 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 18:27:53 +0000 Becky 1932905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colors on you as well as the length of the jeans. I think your version of "palewave" looks very seasonally appropriate; I find dark looks less appealing when the weather is hot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932898 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 18:03:20 +0000 The Cat 1932898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I well understand your love for pale colours in the summer heat. The combos you have shown are lovely, and the colours of the outfit you are wearing look beautiful with your colouring. Relaxed summer elegance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932821 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 12:03:16 +0000 unfrumped 1932821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These colors are fabulous on you! Must do more.<br /> I also agree that these combine great with touches of black, not just other pales and white, and for summer, black + silver, white or straw.<br /> I think Angie has had a post on black &amp; blush color combos . I wear a lot of black but use mauvy- blush or pearl gray more than white as my “ pale neutrals “ so I look for ways to shift from black with touches of pale, to vice versa. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932818 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 11:31:24 +0000 cindysmith 1932818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katerina &amp; Robin, apparently, the silver shoes were a total impulse purchase that wound up being a good investment LOL</p> <p>Jenni, I think hormones are definitely doing their thing right now; my mom says that my completely insane bursts of anger over the most nothing of things is something she experienced when she went through perimenopause. </p> <p>Tulle, I wish I could find some gauzy cottons around here where I live. Lots of gauzy polyester, which would actually be easier to clean but I cannot handle the rough feel of it on my skin </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932817 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 11:29:56 +0000 Staysfit 1932817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these pale shades look great with your coloring. The shoes and the cuff add edginess to the look. The length of your crops looks good too! It’s too bad Angie isn’t commenting right now, but I bet she’s still reading posts and giving you a big high five over the airwaves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932795 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 06:15:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 1932795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the silver shoes too Cindy- wow the field looks hot and the earth dry! And the pinks are great with your hair and skin. Some symptoms sound menopausal to me if you are not already through that time.<br /> A lot of Japanese inspiration? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932794 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 06:06:54 +0000 tulle 1932794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fantastic in these colors, and the silver shoes are the perfect accessory.&nbsp; I gravitate toward these very bleached pastels in hot weather, too, along with sheer white cottons, because they make me feel cooler--if only psychologically.&nbsp; And although they do show every bit of dirt (another country dweller here) I find that more frequent laundering and a big bottle of Spray 'n Wash mostly does the trick.&nbsp; Palewave--I love that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932688 Fri, 29 Jun 2018 16:56:11 +0000 RobinF 1932688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these on you and the silver shoes are fab!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932635 Fri, 29 Jun 2018 13:34:15 +0000 Katerina 1932635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely colours on you Cindy, the outfit really suits you. Great sneakers, too. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932489 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 23:05:47 +0000 cindysmith 1932489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LaPed &amp; Cardiff, thank you!</p> <p>Carla, I LOVE that idea! XOXOXO</p> <p>Sal, sorry about your black shirt. I hate when that happens! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932469 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 20:40:40 +0000 Sal 1932469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these colours suit you well - and I understand the trepidation about keeping them clean/longevity.&nbsp; But dark colours fade too and one of my favourite black tees got a bleach spot on it three months after buying it - so in some ways light can be easier.</p> <p>That is hot!!&nbsp; You are doing well to be operating:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932468 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 20:35:41 +0000 Carla 1932468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE you in that dusty lilac and I think you are on to something with the 'pale wave' concept. </p> <p>FWIW, if you want to reconcile this outfit with your dystopian self, remember that old English mourning clothes for women progressed from black to grey and lilac for half-mourning. You could build a capsule around Edwardian/Victorian mourning colours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932467 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 20:18:57 +0000 Cardiff girl 1932467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your colour choices ,don’t overthink it,I m sure that you will look fab in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932419 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 16:57:54 +0000 LaPed 1932419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those washed pinks and lilacs look wonderful on you, especially set against the sunbaked landscape and saturated blue sky!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932415 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 16:47:01 +0000 cindysmith 1932415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, I still LOVE my apocalyptic looks, but it's just too HOT for dark colors LOL</p> <p>Sara, ugh. I wish we had dry heat. Our heat index/humidex is over 100 and it's just gross</p> <p>Donna, thank you! I work outdoors and hate getting a tan (afraid of skin cancer), so I'm glad that my annoying summer skin is useful in some way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932348 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 13:24:42 +0000 JAileen 1932348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pinks look great on you. I have similar coloring and have started wearing pink, too. After seeing you in your apocalyptic looks, I like this a lot. You look happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932346 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 13:16:43 +0000 Sara L. 1932346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great and I love the idea of pale, sun washed colors for summer dressing.&nbsp; I usually roll my jeans too.&nbsp; The length usually looks better to my eye.&nbsp; It's supposed to be 101 today but our humidity is so low (single digits) that it's somewhat bearable if you stay out of the direct sun.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932343 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 13:08:01 +0000 DonnaF 1932343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! The blush of summer keeps you from looking washed out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932330 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 12:12:57 +0000 cindysmith 1932330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Jane, amazing memory! I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, and I LITERALLY just finished eating it LOL</p> <p>Rachylou, I think you're on to something with the caution about oatmeal colors. I look positively ghastly in yellow based colors. It's why I always hesitate to wear oatmeal or tan tops even though the color works for my lifestyle (because dirt LOL)</p> <p>Suz, I do have some colorful eyeglasses, I just never really thought of them as "accessories" before, which is silly because I ordered them colorful to make them fun to wear. I'll definitely have to start actually USING them more often.</p> <p>Brooklyn, I hadn't thought about the colors that way. It's definitely something I'll keep in mind in the future when I shop, &amp; when I get dressed I'll definitely remember to add accessories to punch up any super pale colors.</p> <p>Shevia, I think I've been having hot flashes myself. Last night I was griping at how hot it was, and I was IN FRONT OF THE AIR CONDITIONER.</p> <p>Season, Jussie, &amp; BJ... thank you! Always nice to hear somebody say I got it right </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932290 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 08:48:06 +0000 Jaime 1932290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous on you - I like the idea of light colors as edgy as you are showing it here! I am also feeling the heat like never before for me I put it down to menopause (I still love it, but not so much mixed with polyester). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932287 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 08:42:38 +0000 Brooklyn 1932287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colours are great on you. I think this might be an example of what Angie means when she suggests trying (if you are pale and fear pale colours) a more saturated version of the pale colour. To me the pink is quite saturated - not as pale as pale pink can be. And the dusty pink of the jeans is even more so. You look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ankle-pants-some-navel-gazing#post-1932269 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 06:18:40 +0000 Jane 1932269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colours are gorgeous, they remind me of pinks and earth browns of a desert. I think this was an inspiration to you in a previous post (may be I’m not remembering right - I was thinking of the rusty car?) </p> <p>I think that you look gorgeous in them. They really suit you! </p>
