You look good I blush. I bet you'll look good in pastel Blues &amp; greens too. </p> <p>Love this sporty cool version. To bad that sweater got a hole!!! It's got a nice shape &amp; fit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710799 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 14:04:31 +0000 Anonymous 1710799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks fab Sally! I love the shape of the sweater. You can definitely wear blush. I like the idea of other's suggestions to try aqua too. I think it would suit you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710751 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 12:18:49 +0000 harmonica 1710751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab combination! I hear you on being reluctant to pastels, but Angie's posts got me thinking. Your version is great. We need to get out of the box some times, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710732 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 11:45:34 +0000 Helen11 1710732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lovely combination on you! &nbsp;I wonder if there will be other pastels to try in our summer season? &nbsp;I have to admit to being a bit confused by all the names for different colours, and of course they appear different on the screen as well. &nbsp;I am rather reliant on the swatch of colours given to me when I had my colours "done" , to help me decide what might or might not be good on me.<br />I hope you find some mint or aqua. &nbsp;There are some basic cardis in the Ezibuy catalogue, so maybe the colour will turn up elsewhere, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710715 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 11:17:15 +0000 skylurker 1710715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, pastels are worth a try, they might look as good on you as blush does.<br /> Love the sneakers with the ensemble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710694 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 10:19:07 +0000 Summer 1710694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely on you, Sally.&nbsp; The light shoes and your dark glasses balance out the colours beautifully.&nbsp; What a shame about the sweater, though.<br />I think you should definitely&nbsp; try blue, pink and mauve with your black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710681 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 09:17:16 +0000 Brooklyn 1710681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle with pastels too. The one I rather like at the moment is a dark blush, more of a dusty pink. I am hoping this makes an appearance in the stores this spring because I am desperate for some light neutrals.<br /> But to the outfit! I think blush suits you as this looks really good. Sneakers are a good choice. It's a shame about the hole but a scarf could actually be nice for adding another colour to the outfit.<br /> And I can definitely see Aqua on you. You could pair it with dark blue or aubergine/purple. Or even dark green. Ya knew I'd mention green, didn't you The problem is finding these colours and colour combinations here, as you know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710650 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 06:49:25 +0000 CocoLion 1710650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fantastic! &nbsp;And since I'm scarce on the forum, this is the first I'm seeing of your new hair cut. &nbsp;I love it. &nbsp;It's my favorite style on you yet. &nbsp;Your hairdresser is a god/goddess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710615 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 03:10:12 +0000 Tanya 1710615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so pretty on you, Sally.&nbsp; The sweater is fabulous and I love how you combined it with white sneakers.&nbsp; Too bad about that hole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710593 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 02:16:28 +0000 Suz 1710593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love this on you. The white sneakers make it sporty luxe trend fab! I think you look really pretty in the blush but I understand your hesitation about pastels -- I share it on the whole, although I do have a few blush pieces as well as some lighter blues.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710591 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 02:10:07 +0000 Sal 1710591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie, I have enjoyed the blush tops so will look for other options (a full skirt appeals to me to wear with simple tops and heels).</p> <p>Thanks Shevia - yes I like the white with it and the gold heels match my sunglasses:)</p> <p>Thanks Aida - I have a wee bit of a bias against baby blue, lemon, and mauve, and a true baby pink on me. &nbsp;Peach and Aqua are flattering on me but I struggle to work out how to wear them (or find them in pieces I like). &nbsp;I have thought about mint but not gone there yet. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710582 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 01:55:34 +0000 Aida 1710582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! What a good wintery take. The white sneaks make the look for me. The blush looks good on you! I don't know about the other pastels you've mentioned; honestly I think there's probably a version of ALL of them that you could wear, the trick is to <i>find</i> them. Too bad about the hole in the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710579 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 01:47:39 +0000 Jaime 1710579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great and I love the white sneakers here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710572 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 01:43:57 +0000 Angie 1710572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. Wear more blush, Sally. It brings out the rose in your cheeks and the white in your teeth.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love this Sporty Luxe combination. You nailed it, and rock on. Killer.&nbsp;</p> <p>(I am soooo with you on preferring white or cream footwear to black).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blush-and-black-casual-version#post-1710566 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 01:40:15 +0000 Sal 1710566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was having breakfast when I read this post and decided I could do it today, a sunny winters day.</p> <p>I was planning to experiment with different footwear (tan/gold/black) and bags (tan/stone) but realised I have put a hole in the front of the sweater. &nbsp;Argh. &nbsp;It was purchased last year and has been well worn, however, I thought it still had a lot of wear in it. &nbsp;The hole is in the front chest area so very obvious, so the sweater will either be worn with a scarf or for lounge wear only.</p> <p>I am not a big pastel fan (overdosed in the 1980s) and only own this sweater and a summer printed top in blush. &nbsp;I tend to wear them both mostly with denim, and either black or tan footwear, belts, bags with a touch of metallic. &nbsp;I definitely prefer light footwear with the black pants to balance out my hair.</p> <p>I chose my backpack as it had black and white in it and I have a casual day planned, working from home and attending a maths competition with my 11 year old.</p> <p>Should I be wearing more pastels and if so, which ones? &nbsp;I consider the following pastels and would wear a couple of these- baby pink, baby blue, lemon, mint, mauve, aqua, blush, peach.</p> <p>Comments are welcome!! &nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
