colours for (Australian) winter

I was disappointed to received this catalogue
http://www.ezibuy.com.au/Catal.....ctory_2010

and see the colour range for their autumn/winter clothes. "berry" colours, lots of muted roses and blues.

Greyed colours do not look good on my olive complexion, so hope this catalogue isn't indicative of the season as a whole

Anne, you'll look great in berry tones! Just keep them fairly strong and saturated.

Thanks Angie!
What do you think about this

I didn't go for it because they didn't have it in my size, but I'd be interested in seeing your opinion on the colour

Oh, Anne, those berry colors make me salivate! Those are some of my best colors, imo, and they've been few and far between here. Maybe I should come visit and shop with you!

Oh me too Theresa! I am a bit worried that it'll pill and maybe is a bit dark (I am way too fussy)

But the shirt is only available from a 10 and I wear an 8 almost always, especially on top. You'd be the same I think?

LOL same thoughts I had about the pilling on that dress! Colour I liked though..

But yes i'm the same as you - even 8s are too big up top sometimes... why they dont start at 8's though is beyond me!

And I liked a lot of the Merino stuff in that catalogue, but think it would be WAY too warm for our winters... I'm pretty picky too!!

Angie this is the sort of thing I meant about the greyed tones

Theresa - yes they usually do start at 8, but I have noticed a few things that they don't

Ooh great minds think alike. I was flippoing through a catalogue someone had at work just the other night!

Anne I'm not too impressed with the colours either. The berry seems washed out to me, if they came in a dark purple I would be all over these:

I may try out the last one in black....and maybe the merino tunic in teal. Or maybe plain black to replace the Portmans tunic I returned. I already have a grey/black striped knit tunic. And a short-sleeved teal dress (woven). Or maybe I should remember I am on a shopping ban till next month anyway!

I've never bought from ezibuy before.....have you ever had problems with pilling from there before? I love the idea of extra warmth - I'm starting to get a bit scared about how cold it will be in Melbourne this year!

Hi Tam, I was looking at those styles too, but again not liking the colours.

That last tunic is kind of appealing too.

I have bought from ezibuy before- A sweaterdress tunic last winter. It was quite nice but very thin and it does pill a bit - but then so very many knits do. I have an order in at the moment too, for 4 items from their sale catalogue - 2 summer dresses and 2 microfleece jackets ( for wearing at home)

Wow I got that catalogue too and thought how bland everything looked. I've always used the cooler months as an excuse to wear brighter colors to counteract the dull weather. Though I do quite like the biker jacket here - thought on this?

Anne, do you think that you can't wear grey?

No Angie, I can wear some greys - you discussed it with me some months ago. Silver grey is OK, grey worn with white probably okay. I am not that keen on it because it is ubiquitous.

My disappointment with the catalouge was that a lot of the colours seem greyed. I like pink, as you know, but I can't do dusky pink, for example.

puffenstuff I was also interested in that jacket! Maybe in the ivory I was thinking!

Ah. Got it. I'm sure the colours will change though. You'll find stuff that tickles your fancy soon :0)

Ooh so I found more ezibuy things to drool over.

Love this dress, but wish it came in a colour! (but then again I don't have a plain grey dress....hmmm!)

Ditto with this and black!
