I completely related to the idea of re-assessing which colors look good on you. And to redeem Marley and Claire, when I first flipped through the pictures (before I read)&nbsp;and saw the dress I thought - that is the sort of color doesn't work so well on me anymore. So although it is hard to see in the pictures, and because you look so chic throughout, I can absolutely understand why in person your color team told you to pass this one on.</p> <p>You do look absolutely&nbsp;chic and gorgeous in your navy and white&nbsp;and I love the hair. From my experience with hair changes, it takes a week or two to get used to seeing a new me in the mirror. Post more pictures with your new colors please! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265995 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 00:24:14 +0000 Vicki 1265995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since Angie noticed the pearl watch pendant, I just had to post another photo of it, showing how it is hinged so that it can be closed to make a square when it it worn, thus, giving it two different ways to wear the pendant. &nbsp;Kind of cool, huh! &nbsp;I've had it for a number of years and, guess what, I bought it at Nordstrom! &nbsp;(ETA: &nbsp;Photo 13)</p> <p>Suz, you raise a good point about what not to wear close to the face and Angie has mentioned this before when it came to certain colors in a print cardigan set of hers, I do believe. &nbsp;So, this is good advice. &nbsp;Thank you!</p> <p>Joy brings up a great topic about how our best&nbsp;colors can change over time. &nbsp;I hadn't thought of this, but it really makes sense.</p> <p>Thank you all for the hair love. &nbsp;I'm having second thoughts, today,&nbsp;and hoping I did the right thing. &nbsp;Sometimes "something new" takes time and getting used to, doesn't it?</p> <p>Like other women here on this wonderful forum, I write every day and part of what I wrote today says: <i>"I haven’t personally met a lot of these women, but I feel like I truly know them better than some I see in a physical way. &nbsp;Their words are always inspiring and I feel enriched knowing them. &nbsp;In fact, my life is enhanced, deepened, improved and augmented by these lovely ladies every time I check in to the YLF Forum. &nbsp;</i>Thank you for always being so present! &nbsp;You're extraordinary. &nbsp;^_^</p> <p> <div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265781 Sat, 31 May 2014 18:27:30 +0000 sarah 1265781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I love those colors in 9 and 11 on your.

All I can say is if 9 and 11 are examples of colours that look <b>BAD </b>on you, you are going to have a really tough time reducing the size of&nbsp;your closet on that basis! I think you look amazing in both those items, at least in these photos. </p> <p>But I do understand this issue. Like you, I wear almost all blues relatively well, but there are "better" and worse ones IRL, for sure, and the level of saturation and intensity is usually the factor. Some pinks&nbsp;can be too neon or intense for me, too. (I might still wear them as a layering piece, though, just peeking out from beneath a jacket. Because in a small amount the colour could work really well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's something to consider, though. I do not wear cobalt near my face in winter because I feel that it is too strong for me. Ditto for that bright super-saturated turquoise.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I <b>WOULD</b> wear either of those colours in summer when the light is different (and I get a bit of colour on my own skin.) Somehow the quality of light makes all the difference. Not that I am trying to enable you to keep those items if you are done with them. But.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love you in all your navy pieces, too, and your hair is sensational! I love the depth that the lowlights provide.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gorgeous full stop!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265312 Sat, 31 May 2014 02:04:25 +0000 Karie 1265312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That watch pendant is beyond fabulous! Another lover of pearls here, and I think the pearls in your watch are unique and gorgeous.&nbsp;<br />Your hair is also beautiful, as are your outfits. I love the dress in #9 - really, you're getting rid of it? I'd rethink that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265281 Sat, 31 May 2014 01:22:37 +0000 Tanya 1265281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful Vicki!&nbsp; That necklace is gorgeous and I really like how the navy sandals go with your outfits.&nbsp; For all that it is worth, the blue silk blouse looks very flattering on you in the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265273 Sat, 31 May 2014 01:14:55 +0000 Aida 1265273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki you are too cute and too fashionable for words ^^ LOVE the simple sandals. When I next need to replace the one pair I keep for camping etc, I think I'll get something similar (so thanks from me too Claire!). Having met you I can see how the deep cobalt might be too saturated but I am surprised about the blue blouse, especially with the new lowlighted hair (which looks super by the way). What a darling necklace! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265229 Fri, 30 May 2014 23:40:52 +0000 Kristin L 1265229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks great Vicki! The color-block Vince top looks fab on you as well. The outfit in pic 1 has a classic look IMO, which looks great with yor short 'do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265227 Fri, 30 May 2014 23:24:33 +0000 Vicki 1265227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all, for your kind observations&nbsp;and, yes, Angie, that little Mikimoto is a fun and special piece that I pull out on occasion.</p> <p>Marley and Claire, I do think you were correct in your color assessment and consultation. &nbsp;Remember, how dark they seemed in the sitting room where we were gathered with the piles of colorful clothes? &nbsp;A sunlight photo can change anything as does interior lighting. &nbsp;I think you both made the right call. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265225 Fri, 30 May 2014 23:20:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 1265225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your hair &amp; the knit with the jeans &amp; sandals - such understanted chic.</p> <p>If the dress &amp; shirt in #9 &amp; #11 are "too" anything for you then the photos are not telling the truth. You look fab in them from what I can see&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265219 Fri, 30 May 2014 23:13:48 +0000 Anonymous 1265219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Marley, Yeah, we are going to lose our jobs as color consultants REALLY fast if these pictures are all people have to go on.

Oooohhhhhhhh, how I <i>love</i> pearls. A fun little piece, Vicki. Divine for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE the low lights. Very attractive.&nbsp;</p> <p>And those SE gigis are fabulous.

I just want to cry!</p> <p>OK - this thread is about you, not me - so, moving on!</p> <p>The blue dress doesn't look near as saturated blue as it did in real life - I mean, I thought it was a cobalt blue - but it really doesn't look like it in the pics - also, the blue shirt? &nbsp;I don't think that I saw that - I saw the GAP neon pink one - but,the reason that I think I didn't see the blue one is because I know that if I&nbsp;<i>had</i> seen it - I would have immediately grabbed it out of your pile and taken it home - because, you know - I need more clothes. &nbsp;;-)</p> <p>The Zara navy sweater and the Vince Tee are both gorgeous on you! &nbsp;And, I am soooo tempted to get that tee in gray and white. &nbsp;(still pondering it!)</p> <p>I also love your navy sandals - and I must admit that seeing Claire in hers and now seeing pics of you wearing them, I'm beginning to re-think my decision that I cannot wear sandals like that!?!? &nbsp;I mean, they are so cute! &nbsp;And, go with any casual outfit you could possibly wear! &nbsp;Are they comfortable? &nbsp;They look awfully flat to me, which may not work for my feet.</p> <p>So glad that you found some bras that work for you! &nbsp;What a "lift" (hahahaha!) it can be, when you find just the&nbsp;<i>right</i> bra. &nbsp;It makes every outfit just look so much better.</p> <p>Thanks for posting - please post more often!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265150 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:37:18 +0000 Anonymous 1265150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, your hair looks spectacular, and I'm flattered that you went out and bought similar sandals to mine. Your new Vince color-blocked T looks really good with your darkwash jeans. It gives you a long column of color! I'm freaking out a little bit about the silk blouse&nbsp;in #11--did Marley and I really say that was too saturated on you? I don't remember it all. Maybe it just looks different in photos than IRL? I'm stumped. The color of the sheath dress seems a bit less intense in these photos than it did in person, so maybe the blouse is the same way. Anyhoo! You're beautiful and stylish. Thank you again for lunch and the wonderful, marvelous day we all shared together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265139 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:16:56 +0000 Anonymous 1265139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your hair and sandals. The new bras must be beautiful. It is a fact of life that colors that look best on us change in time. I need Marley and Claire to come sort me out. You are lucky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-se-gigi-sandals-vince-tee-haircutcolor#post-1265128 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:03:27 +0000 Vicki 1265128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After my lovely, too brief, visit with Clearlyclaire and Marley (lucky to have Marley close by), I've been reexamining my color choices in what I buy.</p> <p>Being with wise YLF minds puts me into a contemplative place where I want to assess my fashion choices.  Often times, I get so caught up in the excitement of something new, I don't really evaluate how it will work for me, my coloring or in my life.  So, my goal is to shop smarter and buy what's useful to fit in my wardrobe, in the best color and with a huge happiness factor.  </p> <p>Gaining an understanding in knowing what colors work best for me has been a top priority.  Claire suggested that I may be a "Light Summer" and I've been gently and gradually seeing how I've made mistakes in this area.</p> <p>Lately, I've been keeping it simple by wearing more navy, denim and cream, so  I can start to feel how an outfit works for me.</p> <p>Photo #1-2: (Ivory Silk Theory Blouse, navy J. Brand jeans, navy Sam Edelman Gigi Sandals, Michael Kors reversible snakeskin belt) was my nod to Clearlyclaire.  When we met, she was wearing the most darling, very simple navy blue Coach sandals.  I threw caution to wind and bought the navy Sam Edelman Gigi Sandals (really more steel blue-grey and as one reviewer said, they "become" blue when they are placed near, say, denim, etc.  I found this to be true, too).  Exposing my huge bunions to the world, I must say I love them and have worn them several times already.  I am really tempted to get another pair, but wasn't sure about a color choice (see?!) and will stay with one right now.  Here's a Zappos link and a Nordstrom link for the sandals:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/sam-edelman-gigi-silver-boa-print">http://www.zappos.com/sam-edel.....-boa-print</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sam-edelman-gigi-sandal/3317049?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=184&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_A">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sa.....rt&#038;co</a></p> <p>Photo #3: Zara navy V-neck sweater, Gap 1969 Real Straight Dark Wash jeans, Sam Edelman navy Gigi sandals.  I wore this to have sushi with a friend.</p> <p>Photo #4-6:  I love this Vince grey and navy color block tee.  It is so soft and feels luxurious on my body.  I found this when I did some bra shopping, which also was a great day for me, because I had the best SA and I found out the Simone Perele Caressence 3-D Deep Plunge Bra was a perfect fit and a most comfortable style for me.  I took home a black one and the Peau Rose just arrived today.  The SA suggested I go directly to the company website for matching bikini underwear since Nordstrom didn't carry it, which I thought was very nice of her. (I added details about the bra, because Marley spotted the white and red shopping bag in photo 4 and asked what was inside!).</p> <p>Simone Perele:  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/simone-perele-caressence-3d-plunge-bra/3194960?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=Azalea&amp;resultback=180&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_A">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/si.....earch-pers</a></p> <p>Photo #7-8:  Here's my new haircut with more lowlights than I've had before.  I'm embracing this new look and really like it.</p> <p>Photo #9 &amp; 11:  Colors that don't work and Marley and Claire felt the sheath dress and silk blouse were too saturated in color for my skin and coloring, so I'm getting rid of these.<br /> Photo #10:  My Mikimoto pearl pendant watch, which I'm keeping.  :)</p> <p>Photo #12:  I love this brand and classic shade of nail polish; it's by Dior and called "Incognito."</p> <p>I didn't mean to make this such a long WIW, so thanks for looking at however much of it you can.  Happy weekend to you!  ^_^ </p>
